7. Social payments

It can be received by students of budget departments of full-time education, permanently registered in Moscow, if they received social assistance during the year before applying for a scholarship.

• increased state social scholarship. It can be issued by students of the 1st and 2nd courses who study well and excellently and fulfill at least one of two conditions: they are entitled to a regular social scholarship or have not reached the age of 20 and have only one parent - a disabled person of group I. Taking into account the increased social scholarship, a student cannot receive less than the subsistence minimum established in Russia as a whole for the fourth quarter of the year preceding the year when the university scholarship fund was formed;

By general rule the university allocates up to 25% of the funds that it plans to spend this year on student payments (scholarship fund) for material assistance. Most often, students who have a child, who need expensive treatment, or who have lost their parents, can count on material assistance. You can check with your university about the grounds for receiving financial assistance.

You can read more about how to pay for purchases and receive discounts on a Muscovite card in.

State in our country is highly relevant. After all, there are a huge number of different categories of the population that need material support. And students are no exception. That is why now I want to talk about who is entitled to a social scholarship.

Terminology

Initially, you need to understand the basic terminology that will be used in this article. Thus, a student scholarship is a state payment to a student for his success. Only those who study well and who have a high GPA receive such assistance. This is a great motivation for every student. But at the same time, it should be noted that the state is also trying to help those students who do not have a livelihood. It is in this case that the state can be appointed. It is paid to those students who are considered low-income or in whose life unforeseen difficulties arise. But even here it is important to make an amendment: this assistance is allocated from the federal budget. So only those students who study on a free, that is, state basis, can apply for it.

Payment terms

It should be noted that this type of scholarship can be awarded for the entire period of study. Payments can be stopped for special reasons or at the end of the student's studies at this educational institution. However, universities and colleges often suspend payments in case of poor attendance or poor academic performance. In this case, they can recover after the student corrects the situation. It is important to remember that for the entire period of non-payment, the money is returned to the student in full.

About categories of citizens

Be sure to also tell about who is entitled to a social scholarship. So there is a list of citizens who can apply for it:

• Upon presentation of a certificate - disabled people of groups I and II.
• Low-income students, which must also be confirmed by certificates.
• Orphans or equivalent categories. In this case, the scholarship can only be paid up to the age of 23.
• Students who served in the ranks Russian army on a contract basis for at least 3 years.

Additional categories

The categories of the population provided by the state are listed above. However, it should be noted that faculties or even universities can supplement this list at their discretion. So, who is entitled to a social scholarship in this case? There can be a huge number of options, but most often these are:

• Married couples who raise children.
• Students from among large families or
• Students who care for disabled parents or seriously ill relatives.

About the amount

Many are interested in knowing the size of the social scholarship. How much can a student get in this case? The numbers may vary. Generally speaking, at the end of 2015, university students received a little more than 2,000 rubles, and students of secondary educational institutions, technical schools, and colleges received about 700 rubles of social scholarships. It is also important to note that the dean's office may increase payments at its discretion. However, the maximum should not exceed the amount of 15 thousand rubles.

At the same time, it should be noted that in the case of academic leave or maternity leave, such payments are not canceled. This does not depend on the desire of the leadership of the educational institution, which is clearly stated in the law. Another important nuance: the student's social scholarship is indexed annually and increased by a certain amount.

About the appointment of a social scholarship

Having figured out who is entitled to a social scholarship, I also want to tell you more about what is the procedure for obtaining it. Each educational institution prescribes all the nuances in its Regulations. It is this document that regulates the deadlines for submission, the categories of students who may qualify for payments, the time of payments, the frequency and other important points. However, all these nuances should not go against the law. In addition to the payments described above, a student may also be entitled to a regular or increased scholarship (depending on academic performance).

About Documents

No one will argue with the fact that the student will need a certificate for a social scholarship. What documents will have to be collected in this case? It all depends primarily on which category of the population the student belongs to. For example, if the student is disabled, a certificate from the medical and labor expert commission will be needed, if he is among the orphans, an extract about this from In addition, you will need to take a paper from the dean's office about which faculty, in which group and in which university student is studying. If a citizen who belongs to the category of low-income requires help, he will need to take a certificate on the composition of the family and on the income of all its members over the past six months. You will also need a certificate of inspection of housing conditions. If the student belongs to a certain category of citizens, for example, Chernobyl, you will need to bring a copy of the certificate confirming this fact.

Scholarship process

You should also talk about how, Initially, the student collects all Required documents and sent to the social security authorities. It is precisely for this institution that a certificate from the place of study is needed. In the department of social services, the student will have to write a statement. After that, a complete set of documents is submitted to the commission for consideration. Based on the results of its meeting, its members pass a verdict on each individual case: to allow or refuse to appoint a social stipend.

It should be noted that today largest number applicants for such payments are citizens from among the low-income. If, during the calculations, the amount received exceeds the subsistence minimum by at least one ruble, you can forget about the social scholarship. You also need to remember that in this case you will have to update the documents regularly, submitting new certificates of income of all family members. Be sure to track exactly in your region, because it may differ, and the desired payments to the student depend on this.

After the student has received confirmation that a social scholarship has been assigned to him by the Department of Social Protection, he goes to the university administration with this certificate and gives a package of documents already in place. Payments will be calculated by the accounting department of the educational institution where the citizen is studying.

Legal nuances

If a student has a regular or increased scholarship, he can still receive a social one. These two types of payments are independent of each other. It should also be noted that the student will receive a social scholarship regardless of academic performance. However, university authorities may suspend its payments as a result of low attendance or poor performance.

A social scholarship is assigned to a student not from the moment of the resolution of the social commission, but from the moment of application. The Regulations of universities may prescribe the deadline for submitting documents for such payments. So you need to be aware of this as well.

The essence of social scholarship is not to motivate the student to study well. Its main goal is to support a citizen of the country in a difficult time for him. However, with low academic performance, such payments can be frozen indefinitely, although no one has the right to suspend them completely. After “defrosting”, the student will receive all the money that he was owed.

And as noted above, in addition to the social scholarship, the student can also receive the usual academic or increased. But he can also calmly and without a twinge of conscience apply for a personal name if he has certain merits to the educational institution.

Each person should receive the entire package of social assistance that he is entitled to at a certain time. There is nothing wrong with this and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

For graduates of Russian schools, one of the most difficult periods of their lives is coming to an end. Most recent schoolchildren successfully passed the Unified State Examination, received the results and applied to the universities of the Russian Federation for the specialties with which they dream to connect their lives. Awaiting the announcement of the verdict and preparing for additional tests, mandatory for enrolling in budget places of the most popular educational institutions in the country, it's time to ask what the scholarship will be in 2017-2018 academic year. What is a student scholarship? Often, questions of actual survival and the need to find part-time jobs depend on it. Consequently, the size of the scholarship directly affects the quality of education and the standard of living.

From this article you will learn:

Before proceeding to a detailed analysis, it is worth clarifying what a scholarship is.

A scholarship is a financial assistance established at a certain level, which is provided to students of universities, colleges, technical schools, colleges and a number of other educational institutions, as well as cadets, graduate students and doctoral students.

The size of the scholarship, in most cases, is set by the educational institution itself, and, therefore, may differ significantly in different universities of the Russian Federation. Also, when choosing a place of study, you should know that the state scholarship, which will be discussed in this article, is paid exclusively to students of state educational institutions. Students of private universities, as well as those who have entered the contact form of education, are deprived of financial assistance from the state.

So, the average student of a state higher educational institution in Russia, studying on a budget, can count on the following types of scholarships:

1. academic- provided to students of full-time departments who are studying at the expense of the budget and do not have academic debts. In other words, those who have only “good” and “excellent” appear in the offset can count on this type of payment. Although this is not yet the final indicator, the score for obtaining a scholarship may be different in different universities, as well as additional criteria.
2. Enhanced academic the scholarship for students is accrued from the 2nd year, which means that those who entered the university in 2017-2018, in order to increase the amount of payments, must achieve certain high results in education or sports during the first year of study, as well as take a direct part in cultural life of the educational institution.
3. Social- paid to students who need financial support from the state. Its size does not depend on success in education and is calculated on the basis of the submitted documents confirming the corresponding right of a citizen to state assistance. It can be provided not only in cash, but also, for example, to pay for a hostel. The list of documents for its registration can be clarified in the dean's office.
4. Increased social is intended for socially unprotected students during the period of study at the 1st and 2nd courses. Like a regular social scholarship, such a scholarship does not depend on grades and is awarded under a single condition - the absence of academic debt.
5. Nominal government and presidential scholarships - payments that students of faculties of priority areas who demonstrate high educational achievements can count on.

Scholarships in 2017-2018 academic year

As mentioned earlier, the amount of financial payments to students of different universities in Russia may differ due to the fact that the law provides educational institutions with the opportunity to independently set the size of scholarships, regulating only the lowest level of payments. All universities use these rights, establishing scholarships for students in accordance with financial capabilities.

According to the changes made to the federal law“On Education in the Russian Federation”, three stages of increasing scholarships are planned:

1	in 2017	5,9 %	1419 rub.
2	in 2018	4,8 %	1487 rub.
3	in 2019	4,5 %	1554 rub.

Obviously, for a normal life, it will not be enough for a student to simply have good academic performance and the absence of debts. It is necessary to strive to obtain the right to increased payments. For comparison, the average size of an increased academic scholarship in the last academic year was about 7,000 rubles.

Today, the views of all students in Russia are turned to the State Duma, which has submitted a bill justifying the increase in scholarships to the level of the minimum wage, which means raising the bar for minimum payments to 7,800 rubles.

Increased scholarships

The right to an increased social scholarship is granted on the basis of a package of documents confirming the student's special status. Applicants for higher social benefits include:

• orphans;
• children deprived of parental care;
• disabled people of the 1st and 2nd groups;
• disabled and combat veterans;
• Chernobyl.

The accrual of an increased academic scholarship is a complex process, since the amount of payments directly depends on the student's rating and his personal achievements. The amount of financial assistance, as well as the criteria for its applicants, each university determines independently.

If you are planning to compete for an advanced academic scholarship, it is important to know that:

• the scholarship is awarded on a competitive basis;
• only 10% of students receiving a regular scholarship can qualify for increased payments;
• The award decision is reviewed every semester.

For students of the Siberian Federal University, an information video was released on how to get an increased scholarship. It may shed some light on some of your questions.

Named government and presidential scholarships in 2017-2018

For outstanding academic achievement and scientific work students of higher education institutions of the Russian Federation are provided with a Presidential scholarship, which in the 2017-2018 academic year will be provided for 700 students and 300 graduate students in the amount of 2000 rubles. and 4500 rubles. respectively.

The number of students of a particular university will be determined by allocation of quotas. The largest number of Presidential Fellows this year will be received by:

The distribution of quotas for graduate students for 2017-2018 gives the right to assert that the President's scholarship will be more accessible to scientists from such universities:

№	university	Quota
1	Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology	7
2	National Research nuclear university"MEPhI"	7
3	St. Petersburg National research university information technologies, mechanics and optics	7

In addition to presidential, students can compete for other nominal payments:

• Moscow government scholarships;
• regional scholarships;
• scholarships from commercial organizations: Potaninskaya, VTB Bank, Dr. Web, etc.

Why you can lose scholarships

Most budget students expect to receive a scholarship upon admission. But, in practice, not all university students maintain a high level and receive financial assistance throughout the entire period of study. The loss of a scholarship is a serious problem for many, and therefore it is worth knowing in advance what can lead to such negative consequences and strive to avoid such situations.

So, in the vast majority of cases, a student is deprived of a scholarship if:

• the student systematically skips couples;
• at the end of the academic semester there is an academic debt;
• grades below the level of "good" appear in the record book.

You will also have to say goodbye to the scholarship when switching to part-time education and when applying for an academic leave. However, all these reasons are well known and lead not only to the loss of scholarships, but also to departure from the university.
