Sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the U.S.- Central Asia Education Foundation (U.S.-CAEF) Enterprise Fellowship Program offers four-year scholarships to exceptional students from Kazakhstan, The Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Scholarships are awarded on the basis of financial need, outstanding academic achievement, and commitment to the future growth and development of Central Asia.
The program, focused on business and technology with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, is hosted at the American University of Central Asia in Bishkek. Before 2022, the program also supported Fellows from Turkmenistan at KIMEP University in Almaty. Established by the U.S.-Central Asia Education Foundation in 2007, the fellowship has supported over 400 young Central Asian leaders.
