What is a KIMEP Alumni Endowment Fund grant?

Kimep Alumni Endowment Fund is a public organization created by KIMEP graduates that helps young leaders from all over the country receive a modern, high-quality education at this university.


The KIMEP Alumni Endowment Fund provides full-tuition grants and a monthly stipend for the duration of their studies to talented applicants from regional schools who are ready to excel in their studies at KIMEP.

In 2025, up to 20 applicants from all over the Republic of Kazakhstan can become grant holders
