Bolashak Scholarships

Bolashak Scholarships for Students from Kazakhstan

About the “Bolashak” International Scholarship of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Since its introduction in 1993, the Bolashak programme, meaning “the future” in Kazakh, has allowed hundreds of Kazakhstan’s brightest students to study abroad at some of the best universities in the world.

Bolashak students study Bachelor and Masters degrees in subjects which the Kazakh government has identified as priority areas to enable the country to prosper, such as Business, Law, Science and Engineering.  Upon graduation, students return to their home country to work in government service for a period of five years.

The scholarship covers all tuition, insurance and accommodation costs, as well as living expenses and travel costs from Kazakhstan to the UK and home again at the end of the period of study. 

For more information about Bolashak scholarships, including lists of the priority degrees and selection rules, please visit http://www.edu-cip.kz/.

Bolashak and Bellerbys College

Bellerbys College has been involved with Kazakhstan for more than 15 years and has been for many years the premier provider in the field of international education in the UK.  We are delighted to have many Bolashak students currently studying Foundation courses at our colleges.

We pride ourselves on our high standard of accommodation and welfare and many students who have graduated from Bellerbys and gone onto successful careers in Kazakhstan have described their year or two at Bellerbys as the happiest of their lives.

Kazakh students have graduated from Bellerbys to King's College London, University of Manchester, University of Bath, Aston University and many other top institutions, to return to assume key positions in Kazakhstan.
