📝 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: Yes — 30 state grants per bachelor’s programme (60 in total) + 10 fee-paying places per programme; grant applications in 2026 — 13–20 July.
