This year, three TOU students were awarded scholarships: Tatyana Shevchenko from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Daniar Ershenev from the Faculty of Computer Science, and Timur Akhmetzhanov from the Faculty of Economics and Law.

The students noted that achieving high academic performance alone is not sufficient to receive the Nursultan Nazarbayev Foundation scholarship; participation and victories in projects and programs aimed at revealing the talents and potential of young people are also crucial. This include conferences, forums, competitions, performances, volunteer actions, and more.

"I perceive this award as a high recognition of my efforts and motivation for further growth. Every step I take is aimed at benefiting society and the university environment. The new status has allowed me to focus on my studies and additional activities that will aid in the development of my professional skills." Tatyana Shevchenko expressed that she sees the award as a recognition of her efforts and motivation for further growth, emphasizing the scholarship's role beyond financial support.

The competition, which has been ongoing since 2010, is open to students studying on both paid and free bases.
