APPLICATIONS FOR PARTICIPATION IN THE EDUCATIONAL GRANT COMPETITION HAVE STARTED
Starting today,
the application campaign for participation in the state educational grant
competition for higher education institutions has officially begun.
Applications from prospective students are accepted from July 13 to July 20.
During this period, applicants can choose their fields of study and compete for
the opportunity to study free of charge. Abai University is also guiding future
students and providing detailed explanations of the registration process.
The right to study on a
state-funded basis is determined based on the results of the Unified National
Testing (UNT). When choosing a major and a university, applicants are advised
to consider the content of the educational program, the demand for the future
profession, as well as their personal abilities and interests.
To participate in the competition, applicants must submit the following documents:
Аn identity document (with a copy);
Unified National Testing certificate;
Оriginal diploma/certificate confirming general secondary, technical and vocational, or post-secondary education;
Сertificate of special pedagogical testing (for pedagogical majors);
Supporting documents for preferential categories (large families, orphans, persons with special needs, etc.) – if available.
During the document submission
process, the university admissions committee provides comprehensive
consultations to applicants and their parents. Specialists explain the grant
allocation procedures, provide information about educational programs, and answer
questions related to the application process.
In addition, special
opportunities are provided for ethnic Kazakhs living abroad (kandases) and
foreign citizens. In particular, kandases can participate in the state grant
competition even with a minimum UNT score (at least 1 point). Admission of
foreign citizens on a paid basis will continue until August 25 and will be
conducted based on interview results. The Foundation Faculty is also open to
applicants planning to undergo language training.
One of the first applicants to
submit documents was Ernur Nurpeis, who applied to the university admissions
committee. He noted that he chose Abai University due to its strong academic
potential and wide range of opportunities.
– Abai University
is an institution that maintains strong cooperation with international
universities. In addition, highly qualified and well-known scholars teach here.
That is why I chose Abai University, – said the applicant.
Abai University supports every
young person striving for knowledge and believes in their potential. The path
to the future begins with the choices made today.
