Institutional Commitment to Graduation and Degree Completion
Termiz State University maintains a comprehensive institutional commitment to ensuring that students from the lowest 20% of household incomes are able to successfully complete their higher education without financial hardship becoming an obstacle to academic progression. This commitment is embedded in the university's inclusive education policy, which prioritises academic continuity, equitable opportunities and the successful graduation of students from economically disadvantaged households.
During the 2024/2025 academic year, the university recorded 4,378 graduates, approximately 10% of whom (around 438 students) belonged to households within the lowest 20% of the national income distribution. This represents a significant contribution to expanding educational attainment among economically vulnerable populations and reflects the university's sustained efforts to support disadvantaged students throughout their academic journey.
To safeguard degree completion, Termiz State University implements a comprehensive financial protection mechanism that eliminates major education-related expenses for eligible students. Tuition contract fees are fully covered throughout the entire duration of their degree programmes, ensuring that students can continue their studies without the burden of tuition payments. University dormitory accommodation is provided entirely free of charge, complemented by assistance with essential food and transportation expenses. Furthermore, eligible students receive a monthly scholarship equivalent to the statutory minimum wage, establishing a reliable source of financial support throughout their studies.
The university allocates approximately UZS 3.7 billion annually to sustain these targeted financial assistance measures. This institutional investment demonstrates a long-term commitment to preventing financially driven withdrawals, maintaining academic progression and enabling students from the lowest-income households to complete their qualifications within the prescribed period of study.
By integrating full tuition coverage, free accommodation, guaranteed monthly financial assistance and essential living-cost support, Termiz State University establishes a structured pathway from admission to graduation. The university's central objective is to ensure that socioeconomic disadvantage does not determine students' ability to complete higher education, thereby strengthening educational equity, promoting upward social mobility and contributing directly to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 1: No Poverty.
