For many years and even decades, the legislation of the Russian Federation has provided for a fairly extensive and varied program of support for the population in need of social protection and various financial assistance. The social scholarship for students of 2017-2018 is the very point that is included in this program.
Initially, the main and primary task and significance of scholarships issued to students was to stimulate students in some way, as well as to facilitate living conditions. Today, there are several types and categories of scholarships, each of which has its own characteristics and, of course, differs from each other in conditions and size.
Types of scholarships.
The list of the most basic scholarships that are provided in almost every educational institution in the country includes the following.
- 1. State academic scholarship, which is a basic type of monthly scholarship issued only to successful students throughout all years of study.
- 2. An increased academic scholarship is nothing more than a one-time payment to particularly distinguished students who have shown and demonstrated good results in educational, scientific, cultural and other activities.
- 3. Scholarships from the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, presidents of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the governments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
- 4. Personalized scholarships.
- 5. State social scholarship, which is intended and awarded to those students who experience special social and material needs. This payment is assigned regardless of how the student studies.
All about the social scholarship, size for low-income families.
If you study the issue related to social scholarships in more detail, then, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with full list all those who can count on her. According to the existing law of the Russian Federation, this list includes the following categories and groups of students.
- 1. Orphans.
- 2. Students with the “Disabled Child” category.
- 3.Victims of radiation accidents.
- 4. Contract servicemen who have served in the army or other military formations of the country for more than 3 years.
- 5. Students whose per capita income is below the subsistence level.
If everything is clear with the categories, then now you should carefully and in more detail understand the issue of size. To date, the state has also established the minimum size of all types government scholarships. Thus, the amount of social scholarships currently amounts to and consists of the following amounts.
- 1. For students of colleges, technical schools, schools or other institutions of a secondary professional nature - 730 rubles per month.
- 2.For university students – 2010 rubles.
It is worth noting that this is only the minimum acceptable payment threshold for socially vulnerable students. After all, each educational institution sets the amount of such a social scholarship individually.
Typically, for the size of the total scholarship fund The Government of the Russian Federation together with the municipal self-government bodies of the constituent entities is responsible and bears full responsibility. As a result, the final decision on the amount of social scholarships is made by the management of each individual educational institution in the country.
But, if everything is relatively clear with the size, then another equally significant and important question arises, which is how to apply for the right to receive a social scholarship, what sequence of actions must be followed and at the same time try to save time as much as possible. It is these questions that we will now try to find the answer to.
Procedure for applying for a scholarship.
The procedure and stages that a student goes through in order to receive and provide additional social benefits include the following sequential actions.
Regarding the timing of document review, today it directly depends on each individual educational institution. But according to the rules, this is no more than 2 weeks.
As you can see, the process of receiving a social scholarship is not as simple as it seems at first glance, but the end justifies the means and such an additional source of funds is unlikely to hurt anyone and will be superfluous.
A social scholarship is a payment available to full-time students. Only those students whose education is funded from the local, regional or federal budget are eligible for it.
The rules for issuing social scholarships are stipulated in Federal Law No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation” dated December 29, 2012. More details about this can be found in the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 1000 dated 08.28.13.
The following points are indicated here:
Important!
- The amount of the scholarship is determined by the educational institution itself. The trade union (if there is one), as well as the student council, participate in the decision-making process.
- It is important to know that the amount of payment should not be less than that fixed by Russian legislation. When establishing these values, legislative bodies take into account the level of inflation in the country. The scholarship amount is set for different categories of students.
You can find out more about the amounts of student payments in Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 899 dated 10.10.13. It was adopted to fulfill the requirements of paragraph 10 of Article 36 of Law No. 273-FZ.
In Russia, a full-time student is a certain status that allows in many cases to equate a student at a university until he reaches 23 years of age with minor citizens. This indicates the recognition of full-time students as more socially vulnerable sections of society. But there are special categories of students who need constant financial support measures due to extreme need; a state social scholarship is established for them.
This is a benefit provided for by the Federal Law “On Education” dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ, paid to special categories of students receiving education on a budgetary basis. Students with benefits can study both at the highest level - a university, and at the secondary level - at a secondary school (college, vocational school, technical school).
The procedure for assigning and issuing social benefits to students is specified in detail in Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1000 of August 28, 2013 (Order of the Ministry of Education and Science).
A student applying for a scholarship and a college student who is entitled to financial assistance from the budget must be paid, as a rule, in the form of a monthly payment to a special bank account.
A scholarship in the nature of social support does not replace an academic scholarship; its payment does not in any way affect the remuneration due for good academic performance.
Who is eligible to receive
The list of persons entitled to receive social financial assistance is determined at the federal level. Despite the limited list, the normative act provides educational institutions with some freedom in this matter. Management has the right to decide on additional measures to support those in need using funds from the institution’s extra-budgetary fund. These could be:
- Expanding the range of fellows to include additional groups of people in need (for example, members large families, young parents);
- Increase in the federally established monthly payment amount.
The following categories are established by law:
- Orphans, as well as children left without guardians, including those whose both parents or the only parent who raised them died during their education;
- Children who have been disabled since childhood, as well as those who have become disabled with the assignment of the first and second groups of disability, who also received disability due to illness or injury during military service;
- Veterans of combat operations (more details in the law “On Veterans”);
- Contract servicemen who have served in the armed forces for at least 3 years are equated with the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian National Guard, civil defense, state security, and the FSB;
- Persons exposed to radiation or injured during man-made disasters;
- Low-income citizens.
A social scholarship provided for the poor is awarded only if the applicants document their need, namely, the level of income per family member must be less than the minimum subsistence level adopted in each specific region of the country.
- Children from a large family;
- Young parents;
- Children whose parents are recognized as disabled people of non-working groups (I and II).
To receive a monthly social benefit, a student must confirm his status. State social scholarships, in accordance with current legislation, are awarded to persons who have provided supporting documents to the educational institution; they are different for each category of beneficiaries.
The termination of the scholarship does not depend on the student’s academic performance, since the measure is not stimulating, but supporting in material terms. If a person has confirmed his right to receive this benefit, the educational institution cannot refuse him. Termination is only possible:
- upon completion of studies at an educational institution (including upon expulsion);
- in the case when the status that affects the receipt is lost (the student is no longer considered low-income, a decision is made to remove the disability).
For the reason specified in the second paragraph, the recipient of the benefit must notify the dean’s office about this, since if the student receives the benefit without justification, the student may be held accountable.
Is a social scholarship available to payers?
In addition to the established list of persons applying for a social scholarship, the legislation establishes two mandatory conditions. Firstly, training must be carried out on a budgetary basis. Secondly, the form of study chosen by the student is full-time only.
At the same time, if a student is on academic leave or parental leave until he turns 3 years old, this will not be a legal reason to interrupt the transfer of social scholarships. If a student is asked to write any kind of refusal for the period of absence, this will be illegal.
Evening and correspondence faculties are deprived of benefits, because they complete educational programs without interruption from work.
Paying students are also not provided with this privilege. If a student’s education is paid for by himself or his parents, then if he becomes an orphan or recognized as disabled, some universities provide for a transfer to free education. But this becomes possible with high performance indicators. Also, taking into account the financial difficulties of students, management educational institution meets halfway and provides a deferred payment.
Considering the focus social policy in Russia, in 2018 it is planned to establish new benefits for families with children. It is possible that this will also affect student support measures.
When can payments be suspended?
The main reason for suspending payments or not making them at all is low attendance. IN in some cases The reason for this may also be debts on one or more items. Fortunately, the law reserves the student’s right to correct the situation and insist on reimbursement of the entire amount that was not transferred to him for the entire period of the debt.
How is a social scholarship awarded?
The obligation to compile a list of recipients (recipients) is assigned by law to the management of universities. They are also obliged to determine the required frequency of payments - most often this period is one month. Based on this, the social scholarship is assigned for a calendar year and after two semesters, a representative of the “optional” category may lose financial assistance by decision of the rector’s office or dean’s office.
Other types of assistance, such as personal or academic scholarships, do not deprive the student of the right to receive a social scholarship for students in 2017.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the provisions on the assignment of financial assistance at the very beginning school year, since it also indicates the deadline for submitting documents (certificates) to confirm your status. In most cases, the student will have about one month to collect the necessary papers.
What documents are required to receive a social scholarship?
The list of documents directly depends on which of the categories listed above the student belongs to. Payment of social scholarships to students in 2017 is based on:
- for disabled people - a certificate of disability, made according to a standard sample and issued by a medical and labor expert commission;
- for orphans and those who have lost their guardians - a corresponding document from the guardianship and trusteeship authorities.
The procedure for applying for scholarships for representatives of low-income families is a little more complicated. To apply for this type of financial assistance, they will need a certificate from the Department of Social Protection of the Population, which geographically serves the student’s place of registration. This organization will need to provide the following list of documents:
- Copies of passports (or documents replacing them) and birth certificates of all family members.
- Extract from the house register or financial and personal account. Both documents are provided by multifunctional centers, as well as passport offices.
- A certificate from a university or college indicating enrollment or study on a budget basis.
- Copies of a work record book or certificate from the labor exchange for all unemployed able-bodied family members.
- A statement of the confirmed total income of all family members for the last quarter.
Receiving process
Simultaneously with the provision of all the above documents, the student will be asked to fill out an application for a certificate. After its adoption, employees of the Department of Social Protection of the Population will check the information given to them and calculate the average income and compare it with the minimum indicators for your constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
If this figure is lower, the family is recognized as low-income and the student receives a corresponding certificate. This document must be submitted to the leadership of the faculty (institute), or to the accounting department. There, the student will be asked to submit an application for a social scholarship.
An important point: the validity period of the certificate of low-income family is one calendar year from the date of receipt. That is, to receive a social scholarship two semesters later, you will have to repeat the procedure described above again.
Social scholarship amount
The amount of the state social scholarship for students is determined by payment and determined directly by the educational organization (college, technical school, university) and cannot be less than its minimum amount established by the Government Russian Federation for each level vocational education and categories of students taking into account the level of inflation. In 2018 the size is as follows.
First and second year students studying in federal state educational organizations of higher education educational programs higher education (bachelor's degree programs, specialist's programs) with academic performance ratings of “excellent” or “good” or “excellent” and “good” and belonging to the categories of persons entitled to receive a state social scholarship, or who are students under the age of 20 who have only one parent - a disabled person of group I, are awarded a state academic and (or) state social scholarship in an increased amount.

Most of the poor, incompetent, and disabled people who have entered a state university think about what a social scholarship is and how to apply for it correctly. Russian legislation designates a number of people who can receive these payments, among them not only students, but also students with disabilities and insolvents.
The situation regarding who is entitled to receive additional payments has not changed for 10 years. There are four types of payments to students, each of them has its own rates and nuances:
- support of the President of the Russian Federation;
- state academic assistance;
- state social payments;
- personal scholarships.
Social assistance is provided to those students who do not pay anything for their studies. This is the only type of scholarship that is not influenced by the student's academic achievements.

A person must go through several stages to receive additional benefits:
- Before submitting an application, the applicant must obtain clarification of information from the authorized bodies at the place of registration, where the documentation is indicated:
- student identification;
- information about everyone living in the family along with data from the house register - this certificate can be obtained from the housing and communal organization;
- a receipt for the income of everyone living in the family for the last few months is issued at work;
- confirmation that the student is studying free of charge;
- if necessary, depending on the situation, additional data is requested.
The level of the cost of living changes every year, so you should independently clarify what is currently in effect.
- After the specialist accepts the application, the necessary submitted documentation is taken into account in the registry documents, during which time the specialists verify all the data, calculate the family income and enter a signature into the certificate on the form, which proves the possibility of providing social assistance.
- Then the student personally submits the certificate to the university dean’s office, where he fills out a special form according to the template.

IN summer period persons are paid social assistance. But the right to receive a pension with benefits is canceled in case of problems with studies, if an order was signed to expel a citizen from a higher educational institution, or when leaving the status of a low-income family.

It is important to note that after all the certificates and documents are collected, the student writes an application addressed to the rector with a request to assign him a social scholarship. After registering the application, the university council checks the documents for authenticity and if everything is in order, as a rule, it accepts it. The funds flow through the pension fund, but there are usually no delays in payments. The scholarship is awarded for 1 year, after which the certificate is updated.
Illness is not a basis for stopping accruals; only for this, the student must necessarily bring a certificate from a doctor. If a person leaves the university, then accruals stop at the same moment. Typically, the scholarship is awarded in cash through the university’s accounting department, but in Lately many educational establishments have entered into agreements with banks and transfer money to student debit cards (accounts).
You need to understand that a social scholarship is awarded only to those who master the material well and successfully pass exams and tests during sessions. So, only those students who study well should take up the task of completing it, since otherwise the pedagogical council will simply reject the request and will not satisfy the application for payment of benefits. The university management regularly provides information to the Ministry of Education about the number of people receiving social scholarships, which helps make allocations.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that Russian government takes all measures to stimulate and encourage students even from poor families.
