(hereinafter referred to as Law No. 273-FZ) paragraph 5 of Art. 36. In more detail, the procedure for providing these payments was approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation in Order No. 1000 dated 08.28.13.

This regulatory document In particular, it says that:

Payouts

In 2019, it is planned by state regulatory legal acts gradation of social scholarship accruals, based on the indicators of the success of the training process with reference to the grounds for its accrual:

1. Social Academic Scholarship- due to all first-year students who entered the budget and continue to study successfully. For the 2018-2019 academic years, the amount will be 1482 rubles. This value is fixed and does not require the provision of additional documents and certificates.
2. Basic social- due to all students, starting from the second semester of the 1st year and until the moment of graduation from a higher educational institution, provided that all session exams are passed not lower than "4". This year, such a payment is equivalent to 2,227 rubles. Unlike academic, it will need to be regularly confirmed after each credit semester.
3. Social- for students whose marks in all subjects are only "4" and "5". Its value is determined by the educational institution independently, based on the internal documentation and powers of the university within the framework of the regional legislative acts in this area. However, it cannot be less than the basic scholarship.
4. Increased social This is the privilege of excellence. As a rule, its size is equivalent to the minimum subsistence level in the region where the student is studying.

Thus, the academic social payment is guaranteed to the student in any case, even if the grades are not very good. But the possibility of increasing this amount will need to be confirmed meritorious learning outcomes.

Those categories of citizens who are brought up in an incomplete family, or one of the parents is a disabled person of the 1st group, are entitled to an increased scholarship.

At the end of each semester, progress is evaluated, and if its result allows you to increase the scholarship without supporting certificates, this is done in automatic mode. All documents - about income, benefits are relevant throughout the year. If a student takes an academic leave, accruals are suspended and will resume when he returns to study.

As for secondary specialized educational institutions, there were no significant changes in the order of accrual of scholarship payments and their amount. As before, in 2019 this amount will be 730 rubles monthly. This applies to those who are trained as part of the training of specialists of the middle category, skilled workers and employees. 2010 rubles for students in higher education.

Who is eligible to receive

Paragraph 5 of Article 36 of Law No. 273-FZ presents a large list of those persons who are eligible for this scholarship. These persons include, in particular:

This list is closed. But in addition to this list, there are also two conditions, which determine the right to receive social scholarships and must be observed at the same time:

• full-time education;
• and in the budget department.

If the above persons study at a paid department and (or) they have an evening or correspondence form of education, then they are not entitled to count on a social scholarship. However, when assigning social scholarships to students, there are some nuances.

The nuances of the appointment of social scholarships

Law No. 273-FZ provides for the case when a social stipend can be paid in excess of the established standards. This case includes needy 1st and 2nd year students who study at the full-time, budgetary department and receive higher education under the bachelor's and specialist's programs. At the same time, these persons must have grades in their academic performance of at least “good and excellent”. The social scholarship for such students is increased to 10,329 rubles (excluding the regional coefficient). And it is appointed according to the results of the intermediate certification.

But in order to receive this scholarship, you need to document prove financial position student families.

If a student falls into (before the child reaches the age of three), due to pregnancy and childbirth, or takes an academic leave, then for this period the payment of a social scholarship does not stop. So it is established in paragraph 16 of the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 1000 dated 08.28.13.

Regarding the scholarship nonresident students, then Law No. 273-FZ and other regulatory documents adopted in accordance with it do not establish a restriction on receiving social scholarships based on the criterion of registration. Therefore, the specified student receives a social scholarship on a general basis.

Design rules

First of all, a scholarship is awarded from the date when the student submitted a document to the educational institution, which confirms his compliance with one of those categories of persons specified in Law No. 273-FZ in Article 36. This document is Certificate issued by the local social security authorities.

To get this help would need:

• passport (or other identification document);
• a certificate indicating the form of study, course and other similar data. This document is issued by the educational institution where the student is studying;
• certificate of the amount of the scholarship for the last three months. It is issued by the accounting department of an educational organization.

For nonresident students additionally required:

• a copy of the certificate of registration in the hostel, or a certificate in the form No. 9. This form is a document confirming the local registration of a nonresident person. Receive it at the place of registration;
• receipts confirming payment for accommodation in the hostel. Or you need to submit a certificate issued by a passport officer at the student's place of residence, stating that he does not live in a hostel.

For poor citizens Additionally, you must submit:

As soon as everything is collected, the social security authority draws up a certificate for receiving a social scholarship, which is transferred by the student to his educational institution. It is worth noting that very often it is required to submit the specified certificate during September so that the student can quickly receive the necessary assistance. These terms should be clarified with the educational institution itself.

As soon as the certificate is submitted, the scholarship is awarded. The basis for the actual payment of this income is the administrative local act issued by the head of the educational institution. The scholarship is paid every month. But the certificate confirming the right to a social scholarship is valid for only one year. Therefore, for the next academic year, you will have to draw it up again.

It is worth noting that the termination of the payment of a scholarship can be made if the student is expelled or there is no reason to receive it (i.e., a certificate from the social security authority is not submitted).

Who can receive this type of state assistance is described in the following video:

And academic. It is paid to students who study full-time only. Of course, the size of both types of scholarships is very small, and students cannot live on one scholarship. But it can be considered as an additional pleasant compensation for one's strength for training.

This type of training payment does not depend on the success of the student's education. The purpose of its payment is connected with the individual position of a teenager in society. It is eligible for non-full-time college students who have the status of:

• disability;
• orphans;
• from unsecured families in which the income for each family member is less than the subsistence level;
• victims of radiation emergencies;
• who served in the military units of Russia for more than 3 years;
• children with children of their own.

In 2019, the amount of the social scholarship is established by law in the amount of 730 rubles. This payment does not depend on the success of training, but it is affected by the timeliness of passing exams and tests. If a student does not show up for a session, the college has the right to withhold tuition payments until the student receives positive marks and successfully completes the semester.

Persons studying on a commercial basis cannot count on these funds.

The established minimum payment of 730 rubles is not a prohibition of the college to set a higher payment. What kind of scholarship will be paid at a particular college depends on the institution itself.

The procedure for applying for a social scholarship

If a student, under certain circumstances, is entitled to receive such a tuition fee, he must complete the necessary documents in the prescribed manner:

1. Get a certificate from the college stating that he is a student of this educational institution.
2. Surrender all debt for an open session.
3. Get a certificate of family composition in the passport office.
4. Documents confirming the family income in the amount per family member is less than the subsistence minimum. Such documents include: 2-NDFL certificates for the last 6 months, work books of non-working family members.
5. Get a certificate from the college accounting department for the last three months about the tuition payments that were issued to the student.
6. Collect other necessary documents confirming the student's right to receive social education benefits.
7. Issue a certificate from social authorities about living in a socially unprotected family and submit it to the college.

In addition to the collected certificates, when submitting an application, a teenager must have originals and copies of:

• student ticket;
• certificate of student status;
• the passport.

How to fill out an application

An application is an official document on the basis of which a payment is made. Therefore, it must be completed in accordance with legal regulations. Filling order:

1. In the upper right corner is the name of the rector of the college to whom this document is being submitted. And also the full name of the educational institution is prescribed.
2. The following is the personal data of the student, including his passport data and registration.
3. Document's name.
4. Next, a petition is written for the issuance of a social scholarship and the basis for receiving it is indicated.
5. Date and signature of the applicant.

Based on this document and all attached papers, a monthly payment is assigned for the duration of one semester. After its completion, you must repeat the procedure for submitting papers again.

Academic Scholarship

This type of tuition fee directly depends on the success of the student's education. To receive it, the student must study full-time. In 2019, its size is 487 rubles. It is paid monthly. Commercially educated individuals are not eligible to claim government benefits from the college.

All newly enrolled applicants receive this payment from the educational institution in the first semester. Further receipt of scholarships directly depends on the success of the first session.

In the first year, students can only receive the minimum specified by law. In subsequent years of study, the management of the educational institution has the right to motivate students with a higher level of payments for special academic achievements.

In order to apply for a scholarship in the first year, you must indicate your current account along with the documents that are submitted upon admission to college. In the future, funds will be transferred to it. It can also be issued from the cash desk in cash.

The order for the accrual of an academic scholarship is issued before the session. In the future, this order includes those students who passed the previous session on time and successfully. Students do not need to fill out additional documents and applications.

Also, regardless of the success of the training, the management of the educational institution may include in the order for the calculation of tuition fees students who take an active part in sports or other events.

If a teenager is excluded from the order for tuition payments, he can correct this situation only in the next semester by successfully passing all exams and tests.

Of course, with the help of a scholarship, an educational institution can easily motivate its students for successful education, as well as participation in various events.

A social scholarship is a payment due to full-time students. Only those students whose education is financed 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.

Here are the following items:

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, is involved in the decision.
• It is important to know that the amount of payment should not be less than that fixed by Russian law. When setting these values, the legislature takes into account the level of inflation in the country. Scholarships are set for different categories of students.

You can learn 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 the age of 23 with minors. This indicates the recognition of full-time students as more socially vulnerable strata of society. But there are special categories of students who need permanent support measures of a financial nature due to the extreme degree of need, for them a state social stipend is established.

This is the allowance 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. Beneficial students can study both at the highest level - a university, and at the middle level - at a secondary school (college, vocational school, technical school).

The procedure for assigning and issuing social benefits to students is detailed in the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1000 dated 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 material assistance from the budget should be paid, as a rule, in the form of a monthly payment to a special bank account.

A scholarship that has 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 regulation provides educational institutions with some freedom in this matter. The management has the right to decide on additional measures to support those in need at the expense of funds from the off-budget fund of the institution. These may be:

• Expanding the circle of scholarship holders by including additional groups of people in need (for example, members of large families, young parents);
• Increasing the federally mandated monthly payment.

The following categories are legally established:

1. Orphans, as well as children left without guardians, including those whose both parents died during the period of study or who raised a single parent;
2. Disabled children from childhood, as well as those who became them with the assignment of the first and second groups of disability, who also received disability due to illness or injury while serving in the army;
3. Veterans of military operations (more details in the law "On Veterans");
4. Contract servicemen who have served in the ranks of the armed forces for at least 3 years are equated with the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Russian Guard, civil defense, state security, the FSB;
5. Persons exposed to radiation or injured during man-made disasters;
6. low-income citizens.

The social stipend provided for the poor is assigned only with documentary confirmation by the applicants for the allowance of their need, namely, the level of income in terms of one family member must be less than the subsistence minimum adopted in each particular region of the country.

• Children from a large family;
• young parents;
• Children whose parents are recognized as disabled non-working groups (I and II).

To receive monthly social assistance, a student must verify their status. The state social scholarship, in accordance with the current legislation, is granted to persons who have submitted documents to the educational institution - grounds, for each category of beneficiaries they are different.

The termination of the payment of a scholarship does not depend on the student's academic performance, since the measure is not stimulating, but financially supportive. If a person has confirmed his right to receive this benefit, the educational institution cannot refuse him. Termination is only possible:

• upon graduation from an educational institution (including upon expulsion);
• in the case when the status that affects the receipt is lost (the student ceases to be considered poor, a decision is made to remove the disability).

On the grounds 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, he may be held liable.

Are social stipends due to payers?

In addition to the established list of persons applying for social scholarships, the legislation establishes two mandatory conditions. First, training should be provided on a budgetary basis. Secondly, the form of study chosen by the student is only full-time.

However, if a student is on academic leave or parental leave until he is 3 years old, this will not be a legitimate reason for interrupting the transfer of social scholarships. If the student is asked to write any kind of refusal for the period of absence, this will be illegal.

Students of evening and correspondence faculties are deprived of receiving benefits, because the development of educational programs for them takes place on the job.

Paying students are also not eligible for this benefit. If the student's education is paid for by him or his parents, then if he becomes an orphan or is recognized as disabled, some universities provide for transfer to free education. But this becomes possible with high performance. Also, taking into account the financial difficulties of students, the management of the educational institution meets halfway and provides a deferred payment.

Taking into account the direction of social policy in Russia, in 2018 it is planned to establish new benefits for families with children. It is possible that this will also apply to student support measures.

When can payments be suspended?

The main reason for suspending payments or not making them at all is low attendance. In some cases, the reason for this may be debts for one or more items. Fortunately, the law reserves the right for the student to correct the situation and insist on reimbursement of the entire amount that was not transferred to him for the entire period of debt.

How is a social scholarship awarded?

The obligation to compile a list of recipients (recipients) is assigned by law to the leadership of universities. They are also obliged to determine the required frequency of payments - most often this period is one month. Based on this, a social scholarship is assigned for a calendar year, and after two semesters, a representative of the “optional” category may lose material assistance by decision of the rectorate or dean’s office.

Other types of assistance, such as nominal 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 provision on the appointment of material assistance at the very beginning of the academic year, since the deadline for submitting documents (certificates) to confirm your status is also indicated there. In most cases, the student will have about one month to collect the necessary paperwork.

What documents are required to receive a social scholarship?

The list of documents directly depends on which category of the above the student belongs to. The payment of social scholarships to students in 2017 is due:

• for disabled people - a certificate of disability, made according to a standard model and issued by a medical and labor expert commission;
• for orphans and those who have lost their guardians - an appropriate document from the guardianship and guardianship authorities.

A little more complicated is the procedure for obtaining scholarships for representatives of low-income families. To apply for this type of financial assistance, they will need a certificate from the Department of Social Protection of the Population, which territorially serves the place of registration of the student. This organization will need to provide the following list of documents:

1. Copies of passports (or documents replacing them) and birth certificates of all family members.
2. Extract from the house book or financial and personal account. Both documents are provided by multifunctional centers, as well as passport offices.
3. A certificate from a university or college, which indicates enrollment or education on a budgetary basis.
4. Copies of a work book or certificate from the labor exchange for all unemployed able-bodied family members.
5. Statement of the confirmed total income of all family members for the last quarter.

Receipt 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, the 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 subject of the Russian Federation.

If this figure is lower, the family is recognized as low-income and the student receives an appropriate certificate. This document must be submitted to the management of the faculty (institute), or to the accounting department. In the same place, the student will be asked to complete an application for a social scholarship.

An important point: the validity of a 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 above procedure again.

The amount of the social scholarship

The size of the state social scholarship to students is determined, paid and determined directly by the educational organization (school, technical school, university) and cannot be less than its minimum amount established by the Government of the Russian Federation for each level of vocational education and categories of students, taking into account the level of inflation. In 2018, the size is next.

First and second year students studying in federal state educational institutions of higher education in educational programs of higher education (bachelor's degree programs, specialist's programs), having grades of "excellent" or "good" or "excellent" and "good" and related to the categories of persons Those who are 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 assigned a state academic and (or) state social scholarship in an increased amount.

Increased social scholarship

The amount of these increased scholarships cannot be less than the subsistence minimum per capita for the whole of the Russian Federation, established by the Government of the Russian Federation for the fourth quarter of the year preceding the year in which the formation of the scholarship fund of this federal state educational organization of higher education was carried out.

The payment of state social scholarships to students is carried out by the educational organization on a monthly basis.

The fact that a student is on academic leave, as well as maternity leave, leave to care for a child until he reaches the age of three years, is not a basis for terminating the payment (appointment) of a state social scholarship.

Scholarship deadlines

If successful, the student will be awarded a social scholarship for a period of one year from the date of registration and only during school hours (June-August pause). After that, the entire registration process will have to go through again.
In order to find out more precisely about the terms and rules for obtaining a social scholarship, the student should go to the dean's office and ask there. And also read the content of the Federal Law "On State Financial Assistance".

How to get an increased social scholarship for students

Size: not less than the amount missing to the subsistence level.
Payment frequency: monthly, throughout the year.
Submission: at the beginning of each semester.

"Chip": only 1-2 year students can apply, subject to receiving a social scholarship. Also, to receive it, you need to study for “good” or “excellent”.

Who will determine the amount of the increased scholarship

University, based on the student's income statement. As for the size of the subsistence minimum, it is established by the state. At the same time, the indicator for the IV quarter of the year before the formation of the scholarship payment fund is taken, for students in 2018 it will be the fourth quarter of 2017 and the indicator is 9786 rubles. That is, if a student receives a social scholarship of 2,227 rubles, the usual 1,484 rubles, this income is deducted from the subsistence level and a potential “increase” of 6,075 rubles is received.

For migrants

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of August 28, 2013 N 1000, foreigners, migrants and stateless persons have the full right to provide social scholarships in the general manner. At the same time, they should also be trained at the expense of the federal budget. All of the above requirements apply to them as well.

Also, the provision of material assistance may be regulated by international treaties that the Russian Federation has concluded with other countries. Consequently, along with other students, a social stipend is also due to immigrant students. 2017 did not bring any changes to the current state of affairs in this context.

Can I get financial aid for a scholarship?

Yes, a student has the right to request material assistance from the university budget in the amount of a multiple of up to 12 social scholarships. At the same time, it will be paid once a month, but within 1 semester, after which you need to apply again. You can find out about the deadlines for applying in the dean's office of your university.

Requirements for applying for financial aid

The requirements here are higher than for applying for a regular social scholarship. Since we are talking about accrual from the budget of the university, the amount of material assistance may vary. For example, depending on how many students receive it.

In what situations can a student request financial assistance?

1. single parents;
2. Students from an incomplete family;
3. With the loss of a breadwinner;
4. Students from a large family;

The nuances of the appointment of social scholarships

Law No. 273-FZ provides for the case when a social stipend can be paid in excess of the established standards. This case includes needy students of the 1st and 2nd courses who study full-time, budgetary department and receive higher education in bachelor's and specialist's programs. At the same time, these persons must have grades in their academic performance of at least “good and excellent”. The social stipend for such students is increased to 6,307 rubles (excluding the district coefficient). And it is appointed according to the results of the intermediate certification.

But in order to receive this scholarship, you need to document the financial situation of the student's family.

If a student goes on leave in connection with caring for his child (until the baby reaches the age of three), for pregnancy and childbirth, or takes an academic leave, then the payment of a social scholarship does not stop for this period. So it is established in paragraph 16 of the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation No. 1000 dated 08.28.13.

As for the receipt of scholarships by nonresident students, Law No. 273-FZ and other regulatory documents adopted in accordance with it do not establish a restriction on the receipt of social scholarships based on the registration criterion. Therefore, the specified student receives a social scholarship on a general basis.

Outcome

Social scholarship is one of the forms of social assistance for students of higher secondary educational institutions. Only those who study full-time at the expense of state appropriations, including migrants, foreign citizens and stateless persons, can count on receiving it. State social scholarship is assigned to students from the following population groups:

• disabled people of I and II groups;
• orphans;
• affected by radiation and natural disasters;
• low-income;
• past 3 years of contract service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

In all cases, confirmation of belonging to one of these categories falls on the shoulders of the student himself. A certain period is allotted for the submission of documents (mainly a month from the beginning of the academic year), registration is required every two semesters, regardless of whether you received payments in the past.

Students and college students are rewarded with a scholarship for successful studies. Social scholarship has a slightly different character: it is designed to ensure the interests of vulnerable segments of the population. What changes await this benefit in 2018?

On the grounds 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, he may be held liable.

Are social stipends due to payers?

In addition to the established list of persons applying for social scholarships, the legislation establishes two mandatory conditions. First, training should be provided on a budgetary basis. Secondly, the form of study chosen by the student is only full-time.

However, if a student is on academic leave or parental leave until he is 3 years old, this will not be a legitimate reason for interrupting the transfer of social scholarships. If the student is asked to write any kind of refusal for the period of absence, this will be illegal.

Students of evening and correspondence faculties are deprived of receiving benefits, because the development of educational programs for them takes place on the job.

Scholarships for Russian students are significantly inferior to similar payments in developed European countries.

State assistance is all that a university student can count on, otherwise he will be forced to devote less time to study and be torn between pairs and part-time jobs.

Conditions must be created in the country that allow one to focus on knowledge, so a scholarship is a very burning issue.

The legislative framework

The procedure for paying scholarships is regulated by Article 36 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”.

A scholarship is a monetary payment assigned to a student so that he strives to master the corresponding educational course. Only the student and graduate student who has chosen the full-time department for study can count on receiving.

If we talk about the timing, then the scholarship should be paid at least once a month.

Kinds

Among the main types of scholarships can be distinguished:

• academic;
• for graduate students;
• social.

Academic directly depends on academic performance and scientific work, and is assigned to students in need of social support.

scholarship fund - this is a source of payment of scholarships, the distribution of which is carried out on the basis of the charter of the institution and in the manner established by the council of the higher education institution. The approval of the document cannot be carried out without the student union and student representatives.

In order to be appointed academic scholarship , the head of the educational institution must sign the relevant order submitted by the scholarship commission. Such a payment terminates 1 month after the student was issued an order to expel the student (due to poor progress or graduation). The scholarship committee may include a student union member or student representative. A student studying for "excellent", or "good" and "excellent", or only "good" can count on an academic scholarship.

Graduate student begins to receive a scholarship immediately after the rector signed the enrollment order. Further payments depend on the results of the annual assessment of knowledge (exams).

If a student or graduate student is very interested in educational and scientific activities and has achieved success in it, then he may be assigned increased scholarships. To do this, he needs to write an application to the dean's office and attach all the necessary documents to it.

Who is eligible to receive a scholarship?

The first scholarship is the most enjoyable moment for a student. Anyone who has entered a budgetary place, a full-time department, can count on the usual payment. If a freshman is or, then he should also be paid a social stipend.

Withdrawal can occur after any failed session.

Payouts

At present, scholarships of various kinds (15 titles) are paid on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The amount of this monetary allowance is such that it is unlikely that the student brethren can rejoice at it very much.

Graduate students, residents, interns and doctoral students receive a little more, but it is still very far from what is necessary. True, if a student or graduate student does not have any other source of income, then he has the opportunity to receive some additional scholarship. The most successful manage to receive about 20 thousand rubles a month.

Minimum Scholarship a student in a university is 1571 rubles, in a vocational school - 856 rubles. Despite the not very modest amount, a student studying in a higher educational institution without “triples” can receive about 6 thousand rubles. And if the passing of the session showed “excellent” results, then you can think about higher scholarship , the size of which in different educational institutions varies from 5000 to 7000 rubles. A similar payment for a graduate student ranges from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles. True, in order to receive such substantial scholarships, a student or graduate student must not only shine with knowledge, but also show interest in the social and sports life of the university.

During the debates, representatives of the Ministry of Education of Russia planned to increase student payments in 2018 by 4.0% which will remain in effect until the end of 2019.
