More than 800 applicants have received state educational grants to study at Maqsut Narikbayev University. Applicants who scored at least 120 points on the UNT were eligible to compete for tuition-free education at the university.
The list of recipients of state educational grants for the 2026–2027 academic year was previously published by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan. A total of approximately 127,000 applications were submitted. Applicants could choose from 10 MNU undergraduate educational programs.
The largest number of grant recipients chose the Law program. Despite the high UNT requirements, starting from 120 points, MNU became the most preferred university among applicants. The university also ranked first nationwide in the share of grant recipients among applicants to the following programs: Linguistics (TESOL) and Translation Technologies (93.2%), International Relations (86%), Law (84.4%), Business Administration in Finance (50%), Accounting with AI (47.7%), Business Administration in Marketing (38.3%), and Business Administration in Management (26.7%).
MNU also welcomed 8 out of 12 applicants who achieved the record-high score of 140 points on the UNT. Almost all of them chose the International Relations educational program, for which the minimum admission score was 135 points. In addition, 17 international students were awarded state educational grants.
The results of the state grant competition demonstrate strong interest among applicants in pursuing their education at MNU. In addition to state educational grants, the university holds the national Maqsut Narikbayev Scholarships Olympiad, as well as olympiads for international applicants and graduates of NIS and RPhMS. The MNU Admissions Committee continues to accept applications until August 25, 2026.
