📝 State grants (UNT)

How it works

Kazakhstani citizens compete for state grants with their UNT (Unified National Testing) score. The threshold is the Ministry minimum; the cut-off score is the lowest score that won a grant. International students usually study on a fee-paying basis or with university scholarships. Grants: Almost no state grants; internal grants and discounts available.
