The ScholarUz Scholarship

Support that keeps you in university

The ScholarUz Scholarship is funded by donors from around the world. It helps university students from Uzbekistan and across Central Asia, at home and abroad, cover tuition and study costs so that money is never the reason a talented student has to stop.

Overview

How the scholarship works

ScholarUz is not a single fund with one deadline. It is a living platform. Students create a profile that tells their story, donors choose who to support, and contributions are pooled into a scholarship that is paid toward each student's university. You can apply at any time, and your profile stays live until your goal is met.

The award

What you can receive

Each student sets a funding goal that reflects their real need. Scholarships typically range from $500 to $5,000, paid directly toward tuition and university fees. There is no cost to apply, and students never repay the funds. A scholarship is a gift from donors who believe in you.

  • Funds go toward tuition and required university costs.
  • Money is sent to your institution, not paid out as cash.
  • Every disbursement is tracked and reconciled openly.
