Kazakhstan opens applications for educational grants

Applications are now open for Kazakhstan’s state-funded educational grants, giving recent school graduates the opportunity to pursue higher education at universities across the country with government support. Applicants can submit their documents until July 20 through university admissions offices, online services, or the e-government portal. Nearly 75,000 grants have been allocated for undergraduate programs, with the majority designated for technical fields. Minimum high school graduation exam scores have been set, including 75 points for Education and Law, 70 for medical programs, 65 for national universities, and 50 for other higher education institutions. Universities may also set additional requirements. Support measures and state quotas are available for applicants from rural areas and socially vulnerable groups. Much of the selection process has been automated, enhancing the transparency of the competition. The names of the grant recipients will be announced by August 10.
