US Ambassador to Indonesia Cameron Hume has announced his support for an initiative to double the number of Indonesians studying in the US within the next five years.

The "Take Control" initiative will increase Indonesian students' access to free advisory services from AMINEF EducationUSA, a State Department-supported network of educational advising centers around the world tasked with assisting international students.

"I endorse this initiative to encourage Indonesian students to study in the United States. They should take control of their future, and we can help to make it happen," Ambassador Hume said.

Almost 7,700 Indonesian students are currently studying in the US. To double that number, EducationUSA said it would send advisors out to mobile centers around the country.

Visitors to the booths will be able to talk to an adviser and get help on how to select a university, apply for a course of study, assess financial needs and apply for a visa.
