About Us

Students that inspire others to be the changemakers!

Our Story

It all started with a simple question we asked ourselves: What if we could connect students across Central Asia with the wisdom of those who have already walked the path we’re on? That idea sparked the creation of Student Central Asia’s First Newspaper—a platform made by students, for students.

We’ve faced the same pressures: SAT prep, university applications, balancing academic goals with personal growth, and the drive to get into top universities like Harvard or Yale. Along the way, we realized that what we needed most was more than just study guides—it was access to the experiences of people who had been through it. We wanted to hear their stories, learn their strategies, and understand how they overcame the same struggles we face.
