## Summary

Bolashak is Kazakhstan's flagship state scholarship for its own citizens to study abroad.
It covers full costs — tuition plus living expenses — but is highly competitive, reaching only the top fraction of applicants.

## Eligibility

- For Kazakhstani citizens only. Extremely selective (roughly the top 0.5% of applicants).
- It may cover study at German, Dutch and Baltic universities, but the approved list of destinations and institutions is set by the Bolashak Foundation and changes — verify your target university's eligibility with the Foundation annually.

## How to apply

- Apply separately through the Bolashak Foundation (Center for International Programs), not through the university.
- Confirm current eligible destinations and conditions at bolashak.gov.kz before counting on it as your funding line.
