The Ministry of Education aims to create favorable conditions for education in all regions of the country. In addition to providing effective work it takes care of the low-income and socially unprotected category of students. To do this, needy students are assigned a social scholarship.

Definition

Social scholarship is one of the measures state support aimed at financial assistance low-income and vulnerable segments of the population. It is provided to students, while its distribution occurs at two levels of education.

1. Average. These are colleges, technical schools and other educational institutions that implement programs of secondary vocational education.
2. Higher. This category includes universities - universities, academies, institutes. At the same time, the scholarship is provided for not only bachelor's programs, but also master's programs.

The social scholarship does not depend on the educational one - it is assigned only on special grounds. Moreover, it is charged monthly and has a fixed amount.

This type of financial assistance is regulated by certain regulations.

Normative base

The accrual of social scholarships occurs on the basis of the following laws.

Who is entitled to a social scholarship?

Not all students are entitled to social scholarship. To receive it, you must meet the following criteria:

• study for full-time department;
• be on budget education;
• not have academic debts.

In addition, the scholarship is only available certain categories citizens.

1. Orphans. These include students who do not have parents (due to the death of the latter) from birth or who have lost them before the age of 18.
2. left without parental care. This category includes children whose mother and father were deprived of parental rights.
3. Disabled people of the first and second groups. The presence of a disability must be documented by a medical certificate.
4. Poor citizens. The income of the student's family (or his own) does not exceed the subsistence level established in the region.
5. Students exposed to radiation as a result of an accident at Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other radioactive disasters.
6. Students who have served under contract for three or more years in the armed forces of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other military structures.

Additional help from the university

Some universities provide assistance to state employees who find themselves in difficult living conditions or suffering incurable disease. In these cases, the administration of the educational institution can independently establish the types of scholarships for needy students. Such a measure is not a state one - it is an initiative of the university itself.

As a rule, material support is provided:

• poor students;
• student families with small children;
• disabled people and other categories of citizens.

The assistance provided is always realized only in the form of cash payments- it can take the following forms:

• free meals in the canteen;
• scholarship supplement;
• preferential living conditions in a hostel;
• survivor benefits;
• one-time financial assistance for food, clothes and other necessary things;
• provision of teaching materials (notebooks, textbooks, stationery);
• others at the discretion of the university.

Peculiarities

Social scholarships differ from ordinary (academic) and have their own characteristics.

1. Providing payments for a period of one calendar year. Social allowance is assigned only for the full 12 months. After the expiration of this time, you need to re-apply for an extension of payments. If this is not done, the scholarship will cease to accrue.
2. Year-round provision. Indicated species social assistance is continuously valid throughout the year. During the holiday period, the scholarship continues to be paid. The same applies to maternity and academic leave.
3. Progress. Estimates do not affect the receipt of this type of payment. Even if a student has unsatisfactory grades in his attestation book, this is not a reason for cancellation social scholarship.

Along with this, there are reasons on the basis of which the termination of payments occurs.

1. Change or cancellation of the basis that previously gave the right to receive a social scholarship. For example, for poor students it is an increase in the level of family income (above average). In this case, it is necessary to inform up-to-date information to the university, otherwise the payments received will be considered illegal.
2. Repeat course. If a student is left for a second year of study, the payment of the scholarship is terminated.
3. Debts. Many are interested in the question of whether there is a concept of "suspension of social scholarships." Yes, in the presence of academic debts and an open session, payments are not accrued. But if the student removes this cause, they will be renewed.
4. Deduction. One of the weighty reasons for canceling social assistance is the expulsion of a student from an educational institution. It does not matter whether he was expelled for poor performance or left the university of his own free will. But upon restoration, the student has the right to re-appoint the scholarship.

These are the main reasons on the basis of which the accrual of social scholarships can be terminated. Its cancellation can also occur on the personal initiative of the student, but this exception is rare.

The size

The amount of social assistance is small. It will not be enough to meet the basic needs of life for one month. Payments are only minor material assistance.

The university sets the amount of the scholarship on its own, but it cannot be less statutory minimum.

For any student one of the most important issues in training is the scholarship and its amount. Usually scholarships are awarded to "good students" and "excellent students", but there are types of scholarships that are awarded regardless of the student's grades. These include social scholarship. But in order to get it, you need to collect a certain list of documents.

Only those students who study at budgetary basis(for funds allocated from the federal budget). The appointment of social Scholarship assistance only occurs if a person is in dire need of it.?

Each educational institution can independently determine the amount of the payment, but it cannot be lower than the minimum amount of scholarship assistance issued by the university.

The purpose of a social scholarship, especially with regard to its size, depends on the place of residence and study. So in Moscow, the size of this social payment will be much higher than in a provincial city. It should be noted that periodically there is an increase in the amount of this type of scholarship. Therefore, to find out right size payments, you can contact the relevant authorities that deal with its registration and payments.

How to get a

So we figured out what to get needed help in social. scholarships can only count certain groups persons studying in higher educational institutions. You should know that the accrual of this payment occurs regardless of the success of its designer in school. Thus, even “triple students” can count on receiving it. In addition, persons belonging to the required social category can apply for one-time material support. Funds for its issuance are allocated by the Social Protection Fund for students. Graduate students can also count on receiving it.

To apply for this assistance, students who fall into the established categories must contact the dean's office of their faculty with the required list of documents.

In the event that a student falls under social category(orphan, disabled, low-income family etc.), he should initially apply to the bodies that carry out social protection of the population. The necessary branches of this state structure for processing payments are located at the place of residence of the applicant. The following list of documents must be brought to these authorities:

After the above documents have been accepted, the applicant receives a certificate in his hands, which is drawn up in a certain way. It must contain the following information:

1. FULL NAME. this citizen;
2. place of his residence;
3. the average per capita income of his family;
4. the amount of the established subsistence minimum, which is valid at the time of issuance of the certificate;
5. a phrase that confirms the fact that the recipient person is related to the poor category of citizens, as well as the fact that he has all the rights to receive such a form of material assistance as social. help;
6. round seal and stamp of this department of the social protection body.

This certificate should be brought to the dean's office of the faculty of the university. After that, an appropriate order for the award of payments will be issued.

It must be remembered that payments are made only throughout the year. At the end of the period, the procedure should be repeated. Thus, social scholarship is different from regular topics that it is material support, which is designed to support people who need it. It is paid regardless of educational achievements citizen. Its payment is terminated only in the event of the expiration of the validity period, the disappearance of the reason for its appointment, as well as in the event of expulsion of a person.

But in the presence of academic debt, the payment of this assistance is suspended until it is repaid. The presence of such payments does not prevent the student from receiving academic scholarship. Despite the fact that the size of this state payment is not large, it should be dealt with, since additional money will never be superfluous, and the registration procedure is not so complicated as to be simply neglected.

The legislation of Russia designates a number of people who can receive these payments, among them not only, but also students with disabilities and insolvent ones.

The regulation on who is entitled to receive additional payments has not changed for 10 years. In total, 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 tuition. This is the only type of scholarship that is not affected by the academic progress of the student.

Social payments have the right to stop if the student has serious debts for the next year, threatening expulsion. After the citizen submits required exams and improves his situation in educational institution, he applies for renewal and continuation of payments.

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