UU Nomor 20 Tahun 2003 tentang Sistem Pendidikan Nasional, dan Permen Nomor 42 Tahun 2007 tentang Sertifikasi Dosen, mewajibkan dosen harus memiliki strata pendidikan minimal satu tingkat lebih tinggi dari para mahasiswa yang diajarnya. Hal ini disebabkan karena Dosen merupakan SDM perguruan tinggi yang memiliki peran yang sangat sentral dan strategis dalam seluruh aktivitas di perguruan tinggi. Tinggi-rendahnya kualitas dosen akan sangat menentukan tinggi-rendahnya kualitas suatu perguruan tinggi.

Untuk memberikan kesempatan studi lanjut, Pemerintah menyediakan dana BPPS bagi dosen untuk melanjutkan studinya di program Pascasarjana Dalam Negeri. Namun, untuk lebih meningkatkan kualitas dosen berskala internasional, mulai tahun 2008, Direktorat Ketenagaan Ditjen Dikti sebagai unit yang mempunyai tugas dalam pembinaan, pelatihan dan pengembangan tenaga akademik, menyediakan beasiswa untuk studi lanjut S-2 dan S-3 di luar negeri.

5. Besaran beasiswa disesuaikan dengan kondisi di negara-negara tujuan.
6. Pengalokasian beasiswa “Program Beasiswa Pascasarjana Luar Negeri” (PBPLN) Ditjen Dikti dilakukan melalui Pimpinan Perguruan Tinggi (Rektor untuk PTN, dan Pimpinan Kopertis untuk PTS) dari masing-masing calon penerima beasiswa. Untuk itu, Pimpinan PT/Kopertis menyelenggarakan kontrak kerja dengan Dirjen Dikti.
7. Jika sebagian program kegiatan studi penerima beasiswa dilakukan di Indonesia (misalnya dalam pelaksanaan penelitian), maka besaran biaya hidup selama di Indonesia akan dibayarkan menggunakan standard BPPS.
8. Untuk mempermudah proses administrasi, peserta dianjurkan untuk memulai program studi pada Semester yang dimulai pada bulan September.
