Suko said the athlete scholarships provided were in the form of waiver of all tuition fees during college. This is the campus' commitment to continue to open opportunities for all students who wish to gain access to education with various backgrounds and professions.

Suko also hopes that what Rizky Ridho has achieved will be followed by other athletes at UM Surabaya and will motivate other athletes to continue to excel.

Meanwhile, Rizky Ridho, a semester 2 student at the Management Study Program, expressed his gratitude to UM Surabaya for providing facilities for athletes and an easy curriculum to make it easier for athletes to study.
