Bolashak Presidential Fellows Program

The program is designed to train future leaders of Kazakhstan in public service, international relations, law, business, science, engineering, and other key fields. "Bolashak," which means "the future" in Kazakh, best describes Kazakhstan's recognition of the importance of educating its most talented youth at the best universities in the world. Upon completion of their programs, fellowship recipients will return to work in public service in Kazakhstan.

The fellowship is funded by the Republic of Kazakhstan's Center for International Programs under the Ministry of Science and Education. The American Councils for International Education (ACTR/ACCELS) provides administration for the program.

The Bolashak fellowship provides funding towards the cost of tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meals, accident and sickness insurance, book allowance, international and domestic travel.
