Grants offered by international governments: Which academic programs do students from Kazakhstan opt for in Tajikistan?

Kazakh Citizens Recommended for Education in Tajikistan's Universities

The Minister of Science and Higher Education of Kazakhstan, Sayasat Nurbek, has announced the recommendation of 31 Kazakh citizens for education in Tajikistan's universities. This recommendation is part of an intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in education between the two countries for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Of these recommended candidates, 2 are for the Master's program, and 29 are for the Bachelor’s degree program. The final decision on granting scholarships to these candidates will be made by the Tajik side.

For the Master's program, both students planning to study in Tajikistan will focus on economics and finance at Tajik State University. Unfortunately, no new information about the specific universities or medical specialties for the bachelor's grant applicants is provided. It is known, however, that most of the bachelor's grant applicants aim to obtain a medical specialty in Tajikistan.

The scholarship for the 31 Kazakh citizens recommended for education in Tajikistan's universities includes free tuition, medical insurance, and a monthly stipend. The list of the recommended candidates for education in Tajikistan can be found at the provided link.

The Minister also announced the recommendation of a Kazakh citizen for education in Tajikistan's universities, but the name of the individual has not been disclosed. It's worth noting that there are no publicly available details specifying the names of the 29 candidates recommended for the Bachelor’s degree program at Tajikistan's universities who are likely to study a medical specialty.

This intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in education between Kazakhstan and Tajikistan is a significant step towards fostering academic ties between the two nations. The final decision on granting scholarships to these candidates will still be made by the Tajik side.
