How many hours can an adult full-time student work?
Answer
An adult full-time student can be hired full-time. If the student is not a disabled person of group 1 or 2, and the work is not classified as harmful, then he can work 40 hours a week.
A student can be hired under an employment contract or under a civil contract (contract, paid services, etc.).
The law does not establish restrictions on the ability of a student to work during study hours.
At the request of an adult student and with the consent of the employer, the employee may be provided with part-time or flexible working hours (Article 93, Part 1 of Article 102 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
In order for a student to have time to both study and work, he can be assigned part-time work or a flexible work schedule (both can be done at the same time). This is determined by agreement of the parties; after concluding an employment contract, the student does not have the right to demand the establishment of part-time work (with the exception of the last 10 months of study, when, at the request of an evening or part-time student, the work week can be shortened by 7 hours, but for the specified 7 hours the employer must pay employee 50% of average earnings. Full-time students do not have such a benefit.)
A fixed-term employment contract can be concluded with a full-time student.
The student has no special guarantees when establishing a probationary period if the special provisions of Art. 70 of the Labor Code (minor, pregnancy, etc.).
Registration of labor or civil law relations is carried out as with all other employees.

1. Answer: Is it possible to hire a full-time student who is studying full-time? Work and school times coincide during the day
The law does not establish restrictions on the ability of a student to work during study hours.*
At the request of an adult student and with the consent of the employer to the employee or (, Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
When hiring a minor student, the employer is obliged - no more than half the norm established for employees of the corresponding age ().
Thus, an employer can hire a full-time student who combines work and study.
2. Answer: Is it possible to establish a probationary period for a student?
The condition of testing an employee is established upon concluding an employment contract and only by agreement of the parties. In relation to certain categories of employees, the legislation contains: Students themselves do not fall into these categories. However, the ban applies, in particular, to minors. Therefore, if a student is under 18 years of age, the employer does not have the right to set him a probationary period when hiring. This follows from the provisions of Article 70 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the employer can establish a probationary period for a student if generally established restrictions on the appointment of a probationary period do not apply to him.
3. Answer: In what cases is an organization obliged to pay an employee for study leave?
Paid study leave must be provided:
Employees who study at universities via part-time, part-time (evening) forms of study ();
Employees who study in institutions of secondary vocational education (technical school, college, etc.) through part-time, part-time (evening) forms of study ();
Employees who study in educational institutions of primary vocational education (college, training center, etc.) ();
Employees who study in evening (shift) educational institutions (schools, gymnasiums, etc.) ().
The employer is obliged to provide study leave to these employees, regardless of how long the employee has worked in the organization. There are no restrictions on length of service giving the right to study leave.
Study leave is subject to payment only if the following conditions are simultaneously met:
An employee receives education of this level for the first time (or the organization sent an employee who already has education of this level to training on the basis of an agreement concluded by it with the employee) ();
Vacation is associated with passing exams or defending a diploma ();
The educational institution has state accreditation (, Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
The organization can also provide study leave to employees who study in institutions that do not have state accreditation. To do this, such a condition must be stated in the labor (collective) agreement (, Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
The success of training is determined by the educational institution in which the employee is studying, in accordance with internal documents, in particular, the charter. Confirmation of the successful training of an employee for the employer is a certificate of challenge issued to an employee combining work with training, and indicating his admission to the next certification: intermediate or final (orders of the Ministry of Education of Russia and). The employer does not need to require any other documents to confirm the success of training (for example, a certificate of absence of debt), nor does it need to wait until the end of the current session to pay for study leave.
The organization is not obliged to provide study leave to part-time workers. The right to study leave arises only for employees at their main place of work. This is stated in Article 287 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
If an employee studies simultaneously in two educational institutions, paid leave is provided only in connection with studying in one of them at the employee’s choice ().
The duration of study leave must be indicated in the summons certificate from the educational institution (). Standard forms of certificates are established by orders of the Ministry of Education of Russia and. The first of these forms is established for employees receiving higher education, the second - for those receiving secondary vocational education.
However, there are restrictions on the duration of paid study leaves. The maximum duration of paid study leave that an organization is obliged to provide to employees is given in.
Study leaves are paid in the same way as annual ones, based on average earnings (). Average earnings are determined based on the employee’s salary for the last 12 months (). In this case, all calendar days of study leave, including holidays, are subject to payment (Regulations approved).
Vacation pay for an employee going on study leave must be paid three days before it begins. At the same time, the period of payment of vacation pay is not affected. This conclusion follows from Article 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

4. Answer: How to set part-time working hours
The normal working week should not exceed 40 hours (). During the week, working time must be distributed so that its total duration does not exceed this limit. The most common option is an eight-hour working day with a five-day working week (weekends are Saturday and Sunday).
The working hours regime in force in the organization must be enshrined in () contracts ().
In addition to the normal working hours, labor legislation provides for a regime. Part-time work means part-time employment of an employee either during the week or during the working day (shift). For example, not five working days, but four, or not eight hours a day (per shift), but six.
Part-time work should be distinguished from. The latter is established for certain categories of employees and is counted as a full labor standard (). If we are talking about a part-time working week, all non-working days in this case are reflected as weekends ().
An organization can transfer any employee to work with a part-time schedule at his request (application) or by agreement of the parties to the employment contract.
Moreover, in some cases, the administration is obliged to establish such a regime for an employee. This must be done as requested:
Pregnant woman;
One of the parents (guardian, trustee) with a child under the age of 14 years (disabled child under the age of 18);
An employee who cares for a sick family member in accordance with a medical report.
This procedure is provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
In addition, the organization can introduce part-time work and.
The establishment of a part-time working regime at the initiative of the employer is allowed (if it exists in the organization) during the period of organizational and technical measures that entail significant changes in working conditions. If such changes could lead to mass layoffs, the administration has the right to establish a part-time working regime for up to six months. Such a restriction is provided for in Article 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
In this case, employees must be notified in writing about the upcoming changes two months before they are carried out (with mandatory familiarization and signature) (). An employee’s consent or disagreement to work part-time can, for example, be written down in the .
If an employee in these circumstances refuses to work part-time, he can be dismissed only in the manner provided for in Part 1 of Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation () (). In this case, he needs to be paid severance pay and average monthly earnings for the period of employment ().
Part-time working hours may be provided for in an employment contract or established by order of the manager. In the latter case, if for an employee this regime differs from the general one in force in the organization, this fact must be reflected in the employment contract (). To do this, enter into an additional agreement with the employee to the employment contract on changing the working hours (). In addition, it may be necessary to make changes to the internal documents of the organization (for example, to the annex to the collective agreement) if they establish a list of employees for whom part-time working hours apply.
An employee who is assigned part-time working hours works less than others. His work is paid in proportion to the established time (or depending on output). At the same time, the duration of annual paid leave is not reduced, the procedure for calculating length of service does not change, and other rights of the employee are not limited. This procedure is established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Employment service notification
The employment service must be notified of the introduction of part-time work in an organization. This must be done within three working days after the decision is made. Such requirements are established in paragraph 2 of Article 25 of the Law of April 19, 1991 No. 1032-1 and explained in.
There is no unified form of notification, so compose it in .
Cancellation of the part-time regime before the period for which it was established must be done - if it exists in the organization ().

5. Answer: How to organize work in flexible working hours
Application of flexible working hours
The procedure for applying the flexible working time regime is given in the approved. The norms of this resolution are subject to application insofar as they do not contradict the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ().
Flexible working hours are introduced to achieve certain goals, for example, for:
Increasing labor discipline;
Employee performance;
Ensuring a combination of employee interests with the interests of the organization.
In continuous production;
In conditions of three-shift work in discontinuous production;
When working two shifts, if there are no free workplaces at the junctions of the shifts;
If there are other production specifics.
Establishing a flexible working time regime in the department
To introduce such a regime for certain categories of employees, for example, an entire division of an organization, write down the application of the flexible working time regime in (, Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Establish a summarized recording of working hours for employees working in flexible working hours if the daily or weekly working hours provided for this category of employees cannot be observed (). The procedure for applying summarized accounting is indicated in the Labor Regulations ().
Establishing flexible working hours for individual employees
It is not necessary to include information on the application of the flexible working time regime in the Labor Regulations if the regime is established by agreement with an individual employee, for example:
To a new employee when hiring him;
Already working employee.
Since the flexible working time regime applied to an employee will differ from the generally established working regime in the organization, then:
For a new employee, include a provision for flexible working hours in the employment contract;
For an already working employee, add to his employment contract.
Such rules are established in Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
An employer (budgetary institution) plans to hire a full-time student who has reached the age of 18 as a part-time cleaner (0.5 rate).
Can a full-time student combine study and work?
ABOUT:
Having considered the issue, we came to the following conclusion:
A person receiving full-time education has the right to combine study with work.
Rationale for the conclusion:
According to part one of Art. 2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, one of the principles of legal regulation of labor relations is freedom of labor, including the right to work, which everyone freely chooses or to which they freely agree. Discrimination in employment is prohibited. Everyone has equal opportunities to exercise their labor rights. No one can be limited in labor rights and freedoms or receive any advantages, regardless of gender, race, skin color, nationality, language, origin, property, family, social and official status, age, place of residence, attitude to religion, political beliefs, membership or non-membership in public associations, as well as other circumstances not related to the employee’s business qualities. The right to work can only be limited by federal law (Article 3 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Labor legislation does not contain a ban on combining work and full-time study. On the contrary, for example, paragraph nine of part two of Art. 59 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation directly provides for the possibility of concluding fixed-term employment contracts by agreement of the parties, including with persons studying full-time. In addition, Art. Art. 173-177 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation for persons combining work with training, additional guarantees are provided.
Thus, an employment contract can be concluded with a student studying full-time, either a fixed-term one (part two of Article 59 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) or for an indefinite period. A similar opinion is shared by the representative of Rostrud I. Shklovets (see the answer to the question: “We want to conclude an employment contract with a full-time student. He has a certificate of transition to free attendance. Is it possible to conclude a full-time contract?”, (The contract is the basis labor relations (I. Shklovets, “Actual accounting”, N 8, August 2011)).
Therefore, a full-time student has the right to combine study with work.
With students who have reached the age of 18, an employment contract is concluded in the usual manner, as with other employees.

The material was prepared on the basis of individual written consultation provided as part of the service
Students, as one of the most socially and financially vulnerable categories of citizens, receive assistance from the state in the form of various benefits. At the same time, more are provided to full-time students. Evening and correspondence students are somewhat limited in government assistance, but can count on some privileges.
general information
Discounts for travel on public transport are not provided to part-time students. Moreover, these students do not have student cards because they simply do not need them in everyday life. It is assumed that the majority of part-time students are working citizens who receive higher education in parallel with work. That is why the bulk of the benefits fall on labor aspects.
Benefits for evening students usually involve concessions on the part of employers, who are required by law to provide student workers with benefits in the prescribed manner.
Vacation
The provision of student leave is regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. First of all, employees receiving higher education are entitled to leave with pay for the period of passing the exam. This period can range from 40 days to 4 months, depending on the curriculum.
That is, the employer is not only obliged to release the employee from work during this time, but also to maintain all payments. If an employee cannot exercise his right due to a manager’s ban, then this is a reason to contact the labor inspectorate.
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation implies that a student has the right to go to take the exam, and the employer is obliged to maintain his job and salary. Otherwise, it is contrary to the law and entails punishment for the legal entity.
In addition, the employee may be granted leave while preparing for entrance examinations and for passing the final certification of preparatory departments of educational organizations of higher professional education. In such cases, the future student’s salary is not retained, and leave is granted in the amount of 15 calendar days.
Directions
A student cannot demand payment for travel more than once a year. In this case, the choice of period remains the priority right. For example, in the summer session, when tickets are much more expensive than in winter.
Paying for travel involves traveling there and back to the educational institution. If the employer does not fulfill his obligations, then he will face the punishment provided for by labor legislation.
In addition, the law stipulates that payment is made only in case of successful completion of the relevant curriculum.
Session
In addition to the fact that the employer is obliged to release the employee to take the test, maintaining his place and salary, during the preparation period he must shorten the employee’s working week or provide him with an additional day off. During the period of release from work, the employee retains 50 percent of the average earnings at his main place of work, but not less than the minimum wage. Such a relaxation is established solely by agreement of the parties and only for those who study in state-accredited educational institutions.
Deadlines
- In the first and second year of study, an employee can receive a vacation of at least 40 calendar days, while maintaining his salary during the final session (summer).
- In the third and subsequent courses it increases by another 10 calendar days and reaches 50 calendar days. The employee's average salary is also maintained.
- When passing state exams and writing and subsequently defending a thesis, 4 calendar months are allotted, in accordance with the curriculum, with the same salary.
- The employee takes all other additional vacations necessary for training at his own expense, or they may be provided for by the collective agreement.
Conditions for receiving benefits
In order to receive the benefits due, the employee must provide the employer with a document confirming his studies at a higher educational institution. Without this, the employee’s right to receive labor privileges cannot arise. In addition, the student is required to write a statement, which must be signed by the supervisor or authorized person.
The summons certificate, the form established by the state and the schedule of training and passing the main exams and tests drawn up and signed at the educational institution are the basis documents for receiving the benefits due. The employer does not have the right to ignore this document, since it confirms the employee’s need to temporarily leave his position.
The Education Law implies that a working student studying part-time or part-time cannot miss a session or take required tests and exams without a valid reason. However, work is not this reason.
Which students receive benefits?
The legislation does not provide benefits to all students. Thus, only those persons who are receiving higher education for the first time, as well as those who were sent for training by the employer themselves, regardless of the presence of another diploma, can exercise their right to privileges.
In addition, only those citizens who study at Russian universities that have state accreditation can receive benefits.
If training takes place in a branch of a foreign educational institution, then the right to privileges remains at the discretion of the employer.
General rights
Regardless of the form of training, students have the right to complete the session early if they are from out of town.
In addition, all students, without exception, can use the educational materials available to the university free of charge and at any time specified in the institution’s charter.
The 13% tax deduction is also refundable, regardless of the form of study, directly to the tuition payer.
The collective agreement may provide for other guarantees and compensation in relation to an employee who is receiving education. A collective agreement may also provide for benefits when an employee is trained in an educational organization that has not passed state accreditation.
Important! If an employee receives education in several educational institutions via correspondence or evening courses, guarantees and compensation are provided only in connection with receiving education in only one of these organizations.
Dear readers!
March 18, 2017, 07:40 Oct 13, 2019 18:09 
The first month of school is coming to an end. Relaxed during the two months of vacation, young people began to get used to a busy schedule, and life in institutes and universities began to bustle. True, many young people did not manage to relax normally over the summer. After all, according to statistics, more than 50% of former and current students have combined and are combining university studies with work. Is it good or bad?
As you know, professors and teachers usually dislike overly active guys who get a job almost from the first semester. Like, I entered the institute - if you please, gain knowledge. If you want to earn money, transfer to correspondence. But, oddly enough, the guys who, due to a busy work schedule, are forced to skip lectures and master the program on their own, sometimes absorb new things with much more pleasure and even finish the session faster than those who are busy only with university affairs. Paradox? But no: work teaches you independence, efficient use of time and simply an adult outlook on life. This was proven by a study recently published by the All-Russian Center for the Study of Public Opinion (VTsIOM), Komsomolskaya Pravda reports.
As it turned out, over the past 15-20 years, the attitude of adults towards the fact that smart students succeed here and there has changed a lot. This is understandable: no distribution has existed for a long time. And getting a job after the fifth year, if you don’t have at least minimal experience in your specialty, is almost impossible. Even with honors.
Full-time students are not paid study leave
Contrary to popular belief, studying full-time and working at the same time is not as convenient and profitable as it seems at first glance! Firstly, study leaves last almost two to three times less than those provided to part-time and evening students. Compare: correspondence students, according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, can worry-free prepare for the session for forty and even fifty (in the final years) days. But diaries are given such leave for only fifteen. And besides, these “vacations” are not paid!
Secondly, not four, like an ordinary correspondence student, but only three months you can ask your boss to prepare and defend your diploma. Or take a month off at your own expense so that you can come to the state exams fully armed.
Thirdly, when the whole country and all ordinary clerks have been celebrating the New Year holidays for more than a week, the full-time students are busy passing the winter session. And during the holidays he relaxes, because all he has to do is work!
Well, fourthly: in the summer, when the bulk of the employees either leave or return from vacation, the full-time student works at full capacity. Because in the absence of colleagues, you can prove yourself excellently by coping with their work with a bang.
What do college students expect?
If you did not enroll in college, but as a full-time student at a college, technical school or college, you can also count on some benefits.
For example, you have every right to ask your boss to grant you study leave. Unpaid, of course. True, you will be allowed to prepare for the session for only 10 days, for state exams - exactly a month, for the defense of your thesis - two.
It’s difficult to combine a session with a busy work schedule, but it’s necessary. To receive legal study leave while taking exams, you must at least study well.
What benefits are available to working students?
1. Is it possible to study at two faculties or at two universities at once?
Yes. The Federal Law “On Higher and Postgraduate Professional Education” (dated August 22, 1996, 125-FZ) does not prohibit this. But you will receive the guarantees and compensation required by law (see below) only once.
2. Are there any benefits for working students?
Yes. An employee who combines part-time or evening studies with work may have a shortened working week if he or she wishes. During the period of release from work, 50 percent of the average salary is due, but not less than the minimum wage.
3. Should the university provide textbooks for correspondence and evening students?
Yes. Students of state universities, regardless of the form of study, have the right to use libraries and information collections for free, that is, they can count on full provision of all types of teaching aids (clause 5 of article 16 of the Federal Law).
4. What to do if your boss or the rush at work does not allow you to pass your exams on time?
You are sorting out this problem at the university. Typically, such cases are reviewed by the deputy dean for academic affairs. And if you are in good standing, then they will almost certainly meet you halfway and find a compromise solution. If not, you will most likely receive disciplinary action for failing to appear for the exam on time.
5. How long is the study leave?
In accordance with the Labor Code, university students combining study with work have the right to study leave. At the same time, the student employee retains his average salary.
But to get a vacation, you need:
- study successfully (that is, have no debts) in part-time or evening classes;
- this must be the first higher education;
- the educational institution must have state accreditation.
As for the duration of the vacation:
- for passing exams in the 1st and 2nd courses - 40 calendar days during the entire period of study in each course;
- in the third and each subsequent course – 50 calendar days;
- for preparing, defending a thesis and passing final state exams – 4 months;
- for passing only final state exams – 1 month.
The employer is obliged to provide leave to both the employee-entrant and the student of the preparatory departments - 15 calendar days. True, unpaid.
6. Is it possible to reschedule a session?
Only contract military personnel have the right to this. In other cases, it is at the discretion of the university. Many educational institutions provide the opportunity to take exams ahead of schedule, for academic success, as well as for correspondence students from other cities.
7. Why can they be expelled?
- for academic failure;
- for violation of discipline (for example, if he was reprimanded 3 times during the year);
- if you study in a paid department - for non-payment;
- for appearing at a university under the influence of alcohol or drugs;
- for committing immoral acts (rudeness towards teachers, fighting, etc.).
Expulsion of students during their illness, vacation, academic leave or maternity leave is not allowed.
If a student believes that he was illegally expelled, he can appeal this decision:
- from the rector of the university;
- contact the government agency in charge of the university;
- in a court.
8. Can a second higher education be free?
No. An exception is only for military personnel who were transferred to the reserve after 15 years of service, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staffing events.
The scholarship for Russian students is significantly inferior to similar payments in developed European countries.
State aid is all that a university student can count on, otherwise he will be forced to devote less time to study and be torn between classes and part-time jobs.
The country must create conditions that allow one to focus on knowledge, so scholarships are a very pressing 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 awarded to a student in order for him to strive to master a relevant educational course. Only those students and graduate students who have chosen to study full-time can count on receiving it.
If we talk about timing, 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 scholarship directly depends on academic performance and scientific work, and is assigned to students in need of social support.
Scholarship Fund is a source of payment of scholarships, the distribution of which is made on the basis of the institution’s charter and in the manner established by the council of the higher educational institution. Agreement on 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 corresponding order submitted by the scholarship committee. Such payment stops 1 month after the order to expel the student (due to academic failure or graduation) was issued. The scholarship committee may include a member of the student union or a student representative. A student who studies with “excellent” grades, or “good” and “excellent” grades, or only “good” grades, can count on an academic scholarship.
Graduate student begins to receive a scholarship immediately after the rector has signed the enrollment order. Further payments depend on the results of the annual knowledge assessment (exams).
If a student or graduate student is very interested in educational and scientific activities and has achieved success in them, 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 pleasant moment for a student. Anyone who is admitted to a budget-funded, full-time place can count on the regular payment. If a freshman is or, then he must also be paid a social stipend.
Disqualification may occur after any unsuccessful session.
Payment amounts
Currently, scholarships of various kinds (15 types) 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 be very happy about it.
Graduate students, residents, interns and doctoral students receive a little more, but this 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 ones manage to receive about 20 thousand rubles monthly.
Minimum stipend student at a university is 1,571 rubles, at a vocational school - 856 rubles. Despite the not very modest amount, a student studying at a higher educational institution without “C” grades can receive about 6 thousand rubles. And if the session showed “excellent” results, then you can think about increased scholarship , the size of which in different educational institutions varies from 5,000 to 7,000 rubles. A similar payment for a graduate student ranges from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles. True, to receive such significant 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.
Increase in scholarships in 2018-2019
Last year, the Ministry of Education raised the issue of increasing scholarships for all students studying in educational institutions of the Russian Federation. During the debate, representatives of the Russian Ministry of Education planned to increase student payments in 2018 by 4.0%, which will be valid until the end of 2019.
During the first half of this year, it is planned to index scholarships by 6.0% (of the inflation rate) for the 2017-2018 academic year. Thanks to this, payments to students will be increased once again.
Scholarships for the 2018-2019 academic years will increase in the following way:
- for 62 rub. for university students;
- for 34 rub. for technical school students;
- for 34 rub. for college students.
Features and amount of social scholarship
Receive social scholarship are entitled to:
In addition, a student who has a certificate in hand stating that his family income does not reach the amount established at the place of his registration can apply for a social scholarship. This document must be updated annually.
The social scholarship is stopped paid if the student has unsatisfactory grades and is restored as soon as he has passed the required subjects from the moment the payment was suspended.
Along with a social scholarship, a student has the right to receive an academic one on a general basis.
The procedure for calculating and paying presidential and government scholarships
Presidential scholarship can be received by all students who have chosen specialties that are considered a priority for the country’s economy. Graduate students studying in the Russian Federation can count on receiving only 300 scholarships. The appointment is made annually for a period of 1 to 3 years.
Students who have achieved success and special merit can also receive a presidential supplement. The awarding of such a scholarship requires the development of a list of areas in which the development of students will ultimately result in significant benefits for the state.
Primary requirements to receive the presidential supplement:
- day department;
- half of the subjects during 2 semesters must be passed with “excellent” marks;
- active scientific activity leading to achievement of success confirmed by diplomas or certificates;
- development of innovative inventions or derivation of theories, information about which was published in any Russian publication.
A student who has earned a presidential scholarship has the right to undergo an internship in Germany, France or Sweden.
A student of a state educational institution of higher and secondary education can also count on receiving government scholarship. To do this, the institution’s teaching council must nominate several candidates (full-time, budgetary basis) studying in the 2nd year (for a college) and the 3rd year (for a university). A graduate student can be admitted to the competition no earlier than the 2nd year.
The nominated candidate must meet the following requirements:
- high level of academic performance;
- publication in a scientific journal;
- participation or victory in any competition, festival or conference held at the All-Russian and international level;
- participation in a grant, all-Russian and regional scientific exhibition;
- the presence of a patent indicating the authorship of a scientific discovery.
Other aids for students
The occurrence of certain circumstances may result in payment to a student or graduate student lump sum benefit, for example, if he has . To do this, the head of the educational institution must receive an application from the student, and the group in which he is studying and the student trade union organization must approve it.
A graduate student annually receives an allowance equal to 2 scholarships for the purchase of textbooks. An orphan student or one without parental care receives an annual allowance for the same needs in the amount of 3 scholarships.
In addition, students are entitled to various types of compensation:
- for successful full-time studies at the expense of budget funds;
- academic leave in accordance with medical indications.
