Description
About
The Social Development Fund encourages the student community’s social activity through various student initiatives, supporting various activities initiated by students.
Student-initiated events
Students of Nazarbayev University lead an active academic and social life. Continually developing a network of their contacts and studying international practices, students turn to the fund to support various initiatives, often having part of the necessary funding or preliminary arrangements with potential sponsors. Examples of such projects include projects at the Shell Eco International Marathon, a 24-hour republican-level hackathon – HackNU-2019, an international conference “The Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations” (HPAIR 2019 Asia Conference), and others.
To receive support from the Social Development Fund, a student needs to enlist Nazarbayev University’s support. The availability of potential sponsors or co-financing is an advantage.
