“Learning is light, not learning is a SHADOW,” as the protagonist of the series “Real Boys” says. But, now we will not talk about this, but about a more pressing issue regarding the material world. I think everyone knows that the Scholarship is an incentive for students of colleges, schools, institutes and universities. And that there are several types, the main and main one is academic, and if the student falls under the category of those in need, then additional social services are provided for such citizens. support regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
And today we would like to tell you what documents a poor student will need to receive a social scholarship in 2018. We will also consider a list of citizens who have the right to count on it and its size. But first, let's start with what it is? In simple terms, this is a monthly cash payment, which is one and a half times more than the academic one, but at the same time comes to the account along with it. And hence the conclusion follows that financial assistance is provided only to state employees!
How to apply?
First of all, it is worth noting that on the basis of the Federal Law of July 3, 2016 No. 312-FZ, only those students who have received state social assistance can apply for it.

- who have served at least three years in the RF Armed Forces under a contract
Also, do not forget that payments are possible only if you study full-time and on a budgetary basis. For correspondence students and evening students, this possibility is not provided.
Also, on the basis of paragraph 16 of this order, during academic leave, maternity leave and parental leave until he reaches 3 years of age, payments DO NOT STOP!

Sample Application
After it is ready, you should take it to the dean's office and the money will be credited to your account from the next month.
Amount and exact amount of payments

In the case of training in the regions of the Far North, any territories equated to them, payments can be increased by the size of the district coefficient (Law of the Russian Federation of February 19, 1993 No. 4520-1)
Peculiarities
Also, students of the 1st and 2nd courses of universities, full-time students with "good" and "excellent" grades can count on increased social support in the amount of 6307 rubles., if they meet the necessary criteria specified above. The amount may vary depending on the place of study.

For children in such families, separate options for benefits are allocated and it is necessary to understand whether social scholarships are due to low-income students in Russia in 2019.
Necessary information
Social support for children in the country is carried out at different levels. For low-income families, funds are allocated both for everyday things - food, clothing, items for school, and for more specific ones - free visits to places of culture.
Children from low-income families have the opportunity to apply for benefits at the federal and local levels. At the expense of such funds, citizens are supported and ensured that they receive everything they need.

Concept definitions

Who is eligible to receive payments
Only a separate list of students can apply for a social scholarship. Initially, a certain framework was created according to the conditions:
- full-time implementation of training and the absence of passes in the classroom;
- training should be carried out only on a budgetary basis with the successful passing of the exam or the exam.
| Children deprived of parental care or recognized as orphans | Payments are made in respect of them up to the age of 23 - in the case of a constant increase in the level of education |

| Students who have served under contract | From 3 years in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB or executive authorities |
| The poor | It is imperative to confirm the absence of a proper financial situation - a certificate from social security is issued |
Legislative regulation
Initially, the package of regulations should include the main existing papers. So, one should rely on Federal Law No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”.This document establishes indicators for the size of government payments of such a plan. All scholarships are paid in accordance with Article 36 of this Federal Law. Paragraph 17 of the article talks about how the amount of the allowance should be formed.
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 899 “On the establishment of standards for the formation of a scholarship fund at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget” forms indicators for the size of payments of social scholarships.
Since funding is directed from all-Russian funds. And for all students, the allowance will be the same. There is also a separate document on increased payments with its provisions.
This is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 679 “On increasing scholarships for first- and second-year students of federal state educational institutions of higher professional education who are in full-time education at the expense of the federal budget for undergraduate programs and specialist training programs and who have grades of “good” and "Great"".
And the creation of this document was started after the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 599 “On measures to implement state policy in the field of education and science” was put into effect.
How to apply for a state social scholarship for low-income students
This type of allowance is issued at the request of the student. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for a number of requirements and actions. Initially, you need to understand that receiving state assistance in this area is based on the success of a citizen in learning.
Photo: the procedure for applying for a social scholarship
It is to stimulate his high achievements that funding has been introduced. The procedure itself involves several stages.
And in this case, the most important will be:
- order of registration;
- collection of documents.
In order to receive financial support, you must constantly attend classes at an educational institution and receive high marks for the work done.
Registration procedure
Obtaining financial assistance of the state standard requires a number of steps:
| Draw up a certificate stating that the student is studying at the institution | This document can be obtained from the dean's office of an educational organization - universities or colleges |
| The dean's office also draws up a document on the amount of income for the last three months | In their absence, a document is still drawn up indicating zero indicators for the allowance |
| Turn in all points in the session without debt | In the event of any “tails”, social scholarship payments are terminated |
| Confirm the status of a low-income family - according to all the norms established by law | All documents are transferred to the educational institution for verification and reporting |
This algorithm should be carried out every session. Since the social scholarship is awarded only to excellent and good students and on certain conditions, you need to constantly confirm the status.
The collection of certificates and the calculation of payments should be started in advance so that there are no delays and long breaks in terms of assistance. The student is responsible for this.
Usually, it is required to collect documents in the first month of the semester in order to make accruals on payments on time. More detailed terms are set at the place of study - there you need to get advice on registration.Usually, applying for a scholarship does not take a lot of time at the university. Therefore, it is worthwhile to obtain the status of a low-income family in advance so that there are no problems in further registration.
After the documents have been transferred from social protection to a higher or secondary educational institution, an administrative act of local significance is issued.
List of documents
The basic set of papers includes the following items:
For non-resident students, additional paperwork options must be provided:
- confirmation of the presence of registration in a hostel or residential premises in form 9;
- receipt of payment for accommodation in the hostel and the absence of debt.
If a citizen does not live in a hostel, you must provide an appropriate certificate from a passport officer.
The amount of assistance in the current year
Assistance benefits are determined based on several factors. So, there is an indicator of the student category, which is within the following limits:
| Place of study, degree | Amount of social stipend, rubles |
| technical schools | 890 |
| Colleges | 890 |
| Higher educational institutions, universities | 2.5 thousand |
| PhD students, assistants, residents | 3.1 thousand |
| Postgraduate students in the field of technical and natural, scientific areas | 7.7 thousand |
These figures constitute payments with included indexation. In 2019, the level of the allowance for social scholarships will be 4%. Therefore, in the first academic semester, the payment is less than in the second.
Advantages and disadvantages
It must be understood that this type of payment has its own nuances:
In the near future, no increase in this category of scholarships is expected in Russia. Therefore, the poor cannot count on privileges and will receive the same amount of assistance.The only way to increase income is to receive a survivor's pension. Although such a payment is available only to certain categories of citizens.
The scholarship is a form of incentive for students.
The purpose of its provision is to support students in their development of the educational program.
However, this form of incentive is not available to everyone!
What it is?
This type of scholarship is one of the payment options that are due to full-time students only. In addition, a social scholarship is issued only to those students who study at the expense of appropriations provided from the federal and/or regional and/or local budgets.
The procedure for its issuance regulated primarily by Federal Law No. 273-FZ "On Education in the Russian Federation" dated December 29, 2012. (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:
- the amount of the scholarship is assigned by the educational institution, but taking into account the opinion of the trade union of this institution (if any) and the opinion expressed by the student council of the same institution;
- at the same time, the amount of the scholarship cannot be less than the amount established by the Government of the Russian Federation. These standards are established taking into account the current inflationary level, for each category of students and the level of their vocational education.
Познакомиться with the size of the social scholarship it is possible in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 899 dated 10.10.13. This Decree was adopted to fulfill the requirements of paragraph 10 of Article 36 of Law No. 273-FZ.
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:
- 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.
- 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 2227 rubles. Unlike academic, it will need to be regularly confirmed after each credit semester.
- 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.
- 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 registration criterion. 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 scholarship payment can be terminated 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:

receives a scholarship
Types of scholarships
I am from a wealthy family, I don’t participate in Olympiads and I don’t play for the volleyball team of the faculty. But I won the competition of the Potanin Charitable Foundation and I study well and perfectly.
In this article - how to get additional scholarships and payments even with triples in the test.
Ask for social assistance
These are scholarships and payments related to the insufficient provision of parents and the material condition of the family. They are paid by the university, city, country and even charitable foundations.
State social scholarship
Some students are eligible for a social scholarship, even if they study for triples. Orphans, the disabled, veterans, contractors and victims of radiation disasters can receive social stipends. Another social scholarship can be assigned to those who receive state social assistance, for example, poor students.
To arrange everything, you need to contact your social security department or the MFC. There they will calculate the income, assess the life circumstances of a particular student and, if necessary, within ten days they will issue a certificate for the university - on paper or in electronic form, if issued through the public services website.
If a student lives in a dormitory and receives only an academic scholarship of 1,484 rubles, he may be recognized as a "lonely poor person." Social workers will ask if you receive money from your parents and how much. But there is no need to prove it with any documents.
Documents that may be requested by the social security authorities:
- The passport.
- Certificate of registration in form No. 9 or certificate of registration at the place of residence in form No. 3.
- Certificate from the university indicating the course, form and period of study.
- Certificate of ownership of the property.
- A document confirming the right to benefits: a certificate of serving a sentence by parents, a death certificate of parents, a certificate of disability, etc.
- Documents confirming income.
The social scholarship is appointed for a year from the date of issue of the certificate. If the certificate was issued in May 2017, and the student brought it to the university only in September, then the social scholarship will be paid from September 2017 to May 2018, while the certificate is valid. Then the documents will have to be reissued.
The university will help you understand the rules for assigning social scholarships: they follow the laws and know who and what is supposed to. But they may not specifically talk about the new rules. It is better to go to the dean's office and personally find out what a particular student in a difficult life situation can receive from the state.
Increased social scholarship
Sum: no less than an increase to the living wage.
Payouts: once a month for a year.
Innings: at the beginning of the semester.
Specialists and bachelors of the first and second year can apply for an increased social stipend if they already receive a regular social stipend, and also if they have only one parent - a disabled person of the first group. This scholarship is paid only to good students and excellent students.
The size of the increased scholarship is set by the university, but it must increase the student's income to the subsistence level per capita. This standard is set by the government. The cost of living is taken for the fourth quarter a year before the formation of the scholarship fund. For example, in the fourth quarter of 2016, the subsistence minimum per capita amounted to 9,691 rubles. That is, if a student of St. Petersburg State University, who receives an academic and social scholarship of 1485 and 2228 rubles, wins the competition for an increased social scholarship, it should be at least 5978 rubles.
The exact amount of the increased scholarship is established by the university, taking into account the educational program, the course and the size of the scholarship fund. At St Petersburg University, a competition for such a scholarship is held once a semester. In other universities it may be different, so it is better to check with the dean's office or the educational department.
Material aid
Sum: no more than 12 social scholarships.
Payouts:
Innings: announces the university.
The criteria for receiving material assistance are much broader than for social scholarships. The university pays it from its own budget once a quarter, and the minimum amount is not fixed anywhere. Often, payments depend on how many students needed help in that quarter.
You can ask for financial assistance from the university if your parents are divorced, if you have children, or if you fell ill and bought expensive drugs. The university will need to provide a birth certificate for the child, contracts for treatment and receipts for medicines.
A complete list of situations in which the university helps needy students should be sought in official documents. St. Petersburg State University pays students from other cities and countries tickets from St. Petersburg home and back for the holidays, and St. Petersburg State University of Economics “donates” money for students’ weddings.
Scholarship program "Five plus"
If you study without triples, then a poor student can apply for a scholarship "Five with a plus" from the "Creation" charity foundation. Students under the age of 21 can participate in the competition. The advantage is given to excellent students and winners of olympiads, competitions, sports competitions. Achievements are taken into account for the last two years.
Documents for the program "Five with a plus":
- Request.
- Certificate of achievement with the seal of the university.
- Copy of the passport.
- Documents confirming that the student is under guardianship and guardianship, and other documents providing benefits (for members of foster families, disabled people, refugees, etc.).
- Certificate of income of all family members in the form of 2-personal income tax or a certificate of recognition of the family as poor.
- An extract from the house book on the composition of the family, certified by the original seal.
- Letters, diplomas, award lists of the student for the last two years of study.
- Photo (any, not on the passport).

State universities pay higher scholarships to successful students. Achievements are taken into account in five areas: study, science, sports, social activities and creativity.
At St Petersburg University, achievements are evaluated by points. The more areas covered, the higher the chances of getting a scholarship. A student with a TRP badge who wins an environmental poster competition will receive more points than a student who wins five Olympiads in one subject. At the same time, grades are only one of many criteria; it is not necessary to study excellently to participate in the competition.
The increased state academic scholarship (PGAS) is about 10,000 rubles at St. Petersburg State University, from 5,000 to 30,000 rubles at the Higher School of Economics. In most universities, the size of the scholarship changes every semester: it depends on the size of the fund, the number of students and their achievements. There are universities where the size is fixed. For example, active students at St Petersburg University are paid 8,000 rubles each. PGAS is paid once a month during the semester. Documents for PGAS must be submitted at the beginning of the semester.
Community Service Scholarship
In order for the university to take into account your achievements in social activities, you need to participate in the organization of university events or cover them in social networks, student newspapers. The student who helped organize the KVN and covered the event in the KVN group on Vkontakte will receive more competitive points than the student who organized the KVN and What? Where? When?".
For example, you can volunteer to help with a scientific conference - distribute badges to participants - and ask for a confirmation letter from the department. Other options: open a student debate or cross-stitch club, write about the Miss University contest in the student newspaper.
It is worth checking with the commission what documentary evidence is needed. At St Petersburg University, for example, they accepted a screenshot of a list of group administrators and a link to a page on Vkontakte as confirmation.
Scholarship for creativity
Victory in competitions, public exhibitions and performances, organization of events are considered creative achievements. If you participated in an exhibition or performed at an evening of stand-up comedians, ask for certificates from the organizers. If this is not expected, prepare the document yourself and ask the organizer to sign and stamp it.
You can search for creative competitions on the websites “All competitions”, “Enti-inform”, “Grantist” and “Theory and Practice”, on the website and in social networks of your university. Many competitions themselves involve a cash prize. For example, for the best design of a paper bag, you can get 1100 euros, and for an essay on the novel by Ayn Rand - 2000 dollars.
Sports Achievement Scholarship
In order for the scholarship commission to accrue competitive points for sports success, you must either win competitions, or participate in "socially significant sporting events", or pass the TRP standards for a gold badge. How significant the event is will be determined by the university.
Petersburg, TRP testing centers were opened in every district. In many universities, sports departments organize the delivery of standards for students and staff. At St Petersburg University on February 26, 2017, they passed the cross-country skiing test, and on May 15 - shoot and run. To get a golden TRP badge, you need to pass eight of the eleven tests. Four tests are required: a hundred-meter run, a three-kilometer run, a pull-up or snatch of a 16-kilogram kettlebell, and a forward bend from a standing position on the gymnastic bench.
Points of the increased scholarship for sports achievements cannot be received simultaneously with the President's scholarship for athletes. Members of the Russian teams in Olympic, Paralympic and Deaflympic sports, as well as candidates for them and coaches, are paid 32,000 rubles a month, regardless of whether they study at a university or not.
Study well and publish scientific papers
Excellent students and young scientists can apply not only for PGAS. Such students are encouraged by many: the President, and the Ministry of Education, and regional authorities, and banks with charitable foundations. Some universities raise scholarships for students immediately after an excellent session. For example, at St. Petersburg State University, excellent students are paid 4,000 rubles, while good students are paid 2,000.
Check the deadlines for applying for all these scholarships at universities, foundations or companies. In universities, applications are most often collected in the spring.
Enhanced Academic Scholarship
There are three options for earning PGAS points for academic excellence:
- pass two sessions in a row with excellent marks;
- receive a prize for a project or development work;
- win a thematic competition, such as the Olympics.
Achievements are taken into account only for the past year.
A scientific achievement is a prize or grant for research work, publication in a scientific journal, or a patent for an invention.
How to publish an article in a scientific journal
Conferences of young scientists are held by almost all universities. Scientific competitions and conferences for students can also be searched on the websites "All competitions", "Enti-inform", "Grantist" and "Theories and Practices", and also on specialized ones - "Scientific Conferences of Russia", "All Sciences", on the website Department of Scientific Research of St. Petersburg State Institute of Technology and in the scientific calendar "Lomonosov".
Usually, for the application, you need to write the abstract of the report that is supposed to be read at the conference, sometimes you need to send the entire article. The abstracts will then be published in the conference proceedings, and this can be provided to the scholarship committee. For the presentation, you can receive a prize and an invitation to print a full article in a scientific journal or extended collection.
In Russia, scientific journals are certified by the Higher Attestation Commission (Higher Attestation Commission), but publication in a journal included in the RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index) or Elibrary.ru Scientific Electronic Library may also be suitable for a scholarship. The conditions for publication in each journal are different. For example, according to the rules of publication in the monthly magazine "Young Scientist" you need to pay 210 rubles for the first page and 168 rubles for the next. The article is reviewed by the editorial board of the journal for 3-5 days, it will be published in the next issue, and a certificate of publication will be sent immediately after payment.
For the competition, prepare the same diplomas, certificates and publications. The selection is not as strict as for state scholarships to scientists, therefore, as an achievement, a speech at a conference, and not just a victory, can be taken into account.
Also prepare a resume and motivation letter template. BP and Ak Bars invite students for interviews. Google asks for a letter of recommendation from a teacher, supervisor, or instructor.
win the business game
Business games are an option for the charismatic and courageous. The jury will look at leadership qualities, teamwork and creativity. There are many such student competitions, but not all of them provide real scholarships. For example, the Troika Dialog Scholarship Program is only called a scholarship program: students are paid for transfers to Skolkovo and accommodation there, and finalists are invited for internships at the program's partner companies.
Potanin Foundation Scholarship Program
Sum: 15,000 rubles.
Payouts: once a month from February until the end of training.
Innings: autumn.
The Potanin Foundation pays a scholarship to full-time masters. They don’t look at grades: I graduated from the specialty with triples, but that didn’t stop me from winning.
The competition has two stages of selection. In absentia, you need to fill out a questionnaire with personal data, the topic of a master's thesis, work experience and volunteering. You will have to prepare three essays: a popular science essay on the topic of your dissertation, a motivation letter and an essay about five memorable and significant events in life.
Documents for the Potanin Foundation scholarship:
- A copy of the diploma of higher education (bachelor, specialist).
- Recommendation of the supervisor (head of the master's program, head of the department).
The second round is a business game. From morning to evening - tests for teamwork, leadership qualities, creativity. Every year there are new competitions. I entered the competition in 2015. In one competition, it was necessary to write five associations to the word "blue", in another - to distribute the budget of the charitable foundation together with a group of students.
The hardest part was multitasking. It was necessary to lead the company and distribute vacations, hold meetings, and calculate profits during the working day. A sheet with the calculation of profits stuck to my folder. I noticed this when the 40 minutes for the task was up. I had to quickly "delegate" the task to one of the "employees".
The ability to negotiate with people was tested by the role-playing game "Barriers". Two students had to coordinate their project in three instances. The "barriers" were other students. For example, children's excursions in the Peter and Paul Fortress had to be approved by the head of the excursion department, the PR manager and the director of the museum. The authors of the project had to understand why their project "does not let" the barrier and offer a compromise.
I volunteered to "manage" the department of excursions in Petropavlovka. In the game, I was "afraid" that the children would interfere with tours for foreigners. At first, the authors told how the excursions would raise the image of the museum. He didn't worry me. As a result, they promised that the groups would be small - five or six children each - and always with a teacher. I let them through to the next barrier.
At lunch, the thought that you are constantly being evaluated did not allow me to calmly sit down with a tray. And if this is a test, they will watch me and decide that I don’t get along well with people if I sit at an empty table?
The last test is the traditional game “What? Where? When?". My team didn't get many points, but I still got the scholarship. I have always volunteered to present the results of teamwork, even if it is an ugly poster that I am ashamed of.
Scholarship "Consultant Plus"
Sum: 1000-3000 rubles.
Payouts: once a month during the semester.
Consultant Plus pays a stipend to those who know the system and can use it to solve a legal case. Competitions are held in Moscow universities among students of 1-4 courses of economic and legal specialties.
At the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, a competition is held among sophomores after a course of lectures. In the first round, students take a test on the knowledge of the system and look for legal acts in it. The second round is an analysis of the legal situation using the service.
"Consultant Plus" advises you to find out at the Department of Informatics whether the competition is held at your university. To prepare for the competition, study the educational and methodological materials of the service and take part in seminars. The materials published a collection of test tasks - "Training and Testing System".
Maximum Scholarship Amount
I calculated the maximum scholarship that one student can physically receive per month - a master of economics from St. Petersburg State University living in a hostel.
Suppose that he has no income other than a scholarship of 1485 rubles. He lives in a hostel. He studies excellently, publishes a lot in scientific journals and receives grants for his research. Passed the TRP standards for a gold badge, heads the university club “What? Where? When?". Here's what happened.
