Abstract

This community service initiative aimed to provide education and mentoring on financial literacy for Indonesian students who are members of the Indonesian Student Association in Thailand (PERMITHA). Conducted on May 2–4, 2025 at Kasetsart University, Bangkok, with 30 student participants, the activities involved partner coordination, material development, training sessions, and evaluation through pre-test and post-test. The materials emphasized managing publication fees, strategies for selecting reputable international journals, and personal financial management. The results indicated an increase in participants’ understanding, as shown by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. This initiative contributes to enhancing the financial literacy capacity of Indonesian students abroad, as financial literacy is a crucial competence to support academic success and timely completion of studies.
