Our graduates

“You gave us an opportunity to see

that there is something

higher and morally pure in the modern world

than thirst for gains,

and an ability to direct and help is worth a lot”

Islambek Orumbayev: “We, the scholars and alumni, at any time have an opportunity to ask the Foundation for advice and get back necessary help. I am also grateful to the Foundation because it gave me more faith in myself and my strengths.”

Sabina Butina: “An active participation in social life, student organizations, seminars, social projects, and the need to comply with the requirements of high performance - has had an enormous influence on the development of each individual scholar. For me these four years became a foundation for my future life: education, social involvement, leadership, self-development, participation in international programs and seminars. It is thanks to the “Yerzhan Tatishev Foundation” that all of this became possible. I express my gratitude to the Foundation and my wishes for success to the graduates!”

Rashid Zhusupov: “I wish the Foundation prosperity, plenty of perspective students and great success. What you are doing gives hopes and makes one believe in our bright future! I would like to express my gratitude, and I believe that the best way to do this is through our deeds and actions for the benefits of our society. I as the first graduate of the Foundation will do everything to show and prove that “Yerzhan Tatishev Foundation” is the engine of the successful development of Kazakhstan. Thank you very much!”

N. Belkhodzhayev: “For me, as for many scholars, the Foundation is primarily a way to a great life. Knowledge, principles and values that we have acquired over the years of studies and participation in social projects in the Foundation will be used as much as possible. You gave us start. You speed us up on the springboard before jumping. Now it's our turn to show what we can achieve, and most importantly, whether the society will benefit from it. Therefore, learning new and using the best of what was taught we grow and develop. A sense of responsibility, leadership and knowledge is our luggage. Despite the fact that there are a lot of obstacles in the future, we will achieve our full potential using what we have already received. To all future scholars and those who would like to be among them I wish the main thing: do not be afraid, try, work diligently and achieve your goals. The main thing is what you are striving for should always bring good to people.”

Abashova Saya: In one word, the Foundation gave us huge opportunities: get education, make a career. The Foundation taught us that to become an intelligent man, a big boss the most important thing is to be able and ready to help others. Starting to work with our diplomas, I believe that we will meet your hopes and expectation.
