The remaining 40 percent are represented by economists, lawyers, financial experts and doctors specializing in cardiosurgery, oncology and restorative surgery. As for PhD students, this year’s majors include sociology, political studies and state management. Earlier Tengrinews.kz English reported that the total of 1,093 Bolashak scholarships were allotted for 2013. Bolashak International Scholarship is awarded to high-performing students from Kazakhstan to study overseas all-expenses paid, provided that they return to Kazakhstan to work for at least five years after graduation. Most of these students travel to study in the United States, but some travel elsewhere around the world.
