      «In 2021 the amount of scholarship for students will be more than 31 thousand tenge, for undergraduates – about 76 thousand tenge, for doctoral students - more than 172 thousand tenge. By the order of the President by 2025 there will be a phased increase of scholarships for undergraduates, graduate students and doctoral candidates.
