Social scholarship is a measure state support for financially disadvantaged students of colleges, schools, technical schools, universities and institutes. It also applies to graduate students and doctoral students.

A student is entitled to a scholarship only if full-time education on the budgetary basis. Thus, students who pay for their own education are not entitled to social payments. They can only count on receiving special grants for good academic performance (presidential, gubernatorial, etc.).

Educational institutions have the right to determine the amount of support on their own, but the state has established minimum threshold payments. For secondary specialized educational institutions, it is 730 rubles. University students will not be able to receive less than 2010 rubles. per month. For students with good academic performance (having only good and excellent marks), increased social payments are provided in the amount of at least 6307 rubles. In 2016, these limits were not revised.

State assistance is issued according to the principle of need, i.e. the student's family must first be recognized as indigent. The average per capita income should not exceed the subsistence minimum established in the region. But some categories of students may qualify for it regardless of their family income. Among them:

• disabled people of the 1st and 2nd groups, disabled children;
• orphans and children left without parental care (up to 23 years old);
• students who were exposed to radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (living in the Chernobyl zones) and the Semipalatinsk test site;

Therefore, it is in the interest of the student to maintain his financial situation study well.

With positive academic performance, even omissions and delays cannot become a basis for deprivation of social benefits. Even C students who do not have debts and unpaid offsets are required to receive payments in the minimum amount. Moreover, the termination of payments without a good reason is punishable by law and the administration of the university may be held liable for the abuse of its powers.

Definition

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

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

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

This type of financial assistance is regulated by certain regulations.

Normative base

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

Who is entitled to a social scholarship?

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

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

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

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

Additional help from the university

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

Usually, material support turns out:

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

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

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

Peculiarities

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

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

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

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

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

The size

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

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

Table 1. Minimum amount of social support

How to get a?

In order to receive a social scholarship, you need to perform a series of consistent steps. They involve collecting required package documents and its submission to the state body.

The procedure is as follows.

1. Prepare the necessary documents.
2. Contact the authority social protection or MFC at the place of registration or residence. The order in which they are issued is the same.
3. To write an application. The sample will be provided by the staff.

After the application is accepted, the student will be entered into the database and the information provided will be verified. Based on this, a certificate will be issued stating that the student has the right to receive a social scholarship. The term for the preparation of the document is no more than 14 days. Based on it, he will be charged monthly payments from the university.

What documents are needed for registration?

• Information about the composition of the family.
• Identification.
• Income statement.
• Certificate of study at a particular institution (issued at the university).

Advice

The exact list of documents can be found in the city administration. AT different subjects it may not be the same, as it depends on local legislation.

After receiving the certificate, you must contact the rector's office or admission department your educational institution.

In addition to information from social body must be provided:

• the passport;
• educational and other documents required in a particular educational institution.

So, only needy students have the right to receive a social scholarship. It is appointed as state support, if there are grounds, it can be canceled. It is also possible to suspend the scholarship - in this moment it is carried out in the presence of academic debt.

Hello student! Studying is always great, but I want to talk about financial side question. And what, for diligent study at the university, a kind of “ wage”, which everyone simply refers to as a “scholarship”. It is precisely these social payments that I would like to talk about in more detail, since for many university students this is the main source of income.

Social scholarship is called a monthly cash payment, which has a fixed value, and is provided as material assistance to needy graduate students and students.

The amount of such payments is different for each academic year, moreover, the social scholarship of different regions also has excellent performance; but it depends on the city budget, which is formed each time at the beginning of the calendar year.

Only students who study for free, that is, on the budget, can count on this form of payment, and this fact is explained by the fact that the money is allocated from the federal budget.

it good help student, therefore, if possible, you should not refuse to receive it, but provide it to the appropriate authorities (in this case to the dean's office of the university) all the necessary documents.

Academic and social scholarship are two different concepts, and the assignment of the latter does not in any way affect the scholarship that students with an average score of 4 and above receive every month in approximately the same period.

The social stipend is paid additionally, and the income received per month allows you to feel at least a slight financial independence and confidence in the future.

The amount of the social scholarship increases every year, however, as well as the standard of living modern student. If in the 2010-2011 academic year the amount was 1650 rubles, then in the academic year 2013-2014 this figure increased to 2010 rubles (minimum).

By the way, not only university students, but also students of colleges or vocational schools, and the monthly payment for this category is 730 rubles (minimum).

It would seem that the money is small, but you should not refuse them, because, as you know, they certainly will not be superfluous, especially for a student with his unlimited needs.

Who is entitled to a social scholarship?

It should not be naive to believe that all categories of students can count on a social scholarship.

This is an erroneous reasoning, and only the following categories of students of universities, colleges, vocational schools can receive monthly payments:

1. Children are orphans;

2. Disabled people of only 1 and 2 groups;

3. Children - Chernobyl victims;

4. Disabled and combat veterans;

5. Students raising children;

6. Students from large families;

7. Family students;

8. Students with disabled parents of groups 1 and 2;

9. Students from incomplete families;

10. Students with disabled children of the 3rd group.

To obtain due payments, the first step is to contact Training Division university, and then submit all the required documents to officially confirm their status.

However, as practice shows, students of these categories can not always count on cash benefits.

What are we talking about?

1. It is not possible to get a social scholarship if the university or other educational institution do not have sufficient funds in the scholarship fund to provide students with social scholarships.

2. If during September (of the next academic year) the student does not submit to the trade union committee a certificate from the social protection authority at the place of residence on the provision of social scholarships, then he certainly will not see the promised payments, at least the current academic year.

So it is very important not to delay the solution of this issue, because the money will definitely not be superfluous!

So the possibility of receiving social benefits depends not only on the rights and regulations, but also on the financial capabilities of the university, and the promptness of students.

Documents required to receive a social scholarship

To receive a social scholarship, a student must collect a package of documents standard for all regions of the Russian Federation, and then submit it to the social security at the place of registration.

Of course, you will have to run through different instances, but in the end the result is worth it.

So what information is required in the social security?

1. Certificate of family composition from the Housing Office at the place of registration;

2. Certificate from the dean's office about studying at the university on a budgetary basis;

3. Certificate from the accounting department of the university on accrual or not accrual of scholarships;

4. Certificates of income of all family members;

5. Additional edits as needed.

When the package of documents is available, it must be submitted to the social security, and its employees, after carefully studying the application and the documentation attached to it, will determine the appropriateness of the social scholarship.

If it is set, then a certificate “on the provision of social benefits” will be issued on a special form, with which it is necessary to appear at the educational department of the university.

Payments usually start from next month. They do not depend on the size of the academic scholarship, although they can enter the same bank account.

Requirements for a certificate of social scholarship

In order not to confuse anything or make a mistake, I decided to write those important points, which relate to the certificate itself and the requirements for its execution, provision:

2. The certificate must be subsidized in September of the current year, otherwise it will not be taken into account for the provision of social scholarships.

3. The decision to provide a social scholarship must be made before October 10 of the current year.

4. The certificate ensures the receipt of a social scholarship for a period of one year.

5. In addition to a certificate issued on a special form, the trade union committee of the university is also required to additionally present all copies of the documents on the basis of which the social scholarship was awarded.

Only after all these nuances and actions can one safely count on a social scholarship, the amount of which will be stipulated in individually but depend on a number of factors.

Useful information for students

Receiving a social scholarship is a good financial assistance that allows a student to slightly improve his financial condition, live with dignity and receive the required level of knowledge in the chosen professional area.

However, this should not be taken cash payment, as a "ball", because one day you can lose such additional earnings.

What should every student remember?

The rules are simple:

1. If a student is expelled from the university, he loses his social scholarship, whatever the reasons for this circumstance.

2. If there is an academic debt, the student is also deprived of the right to receive the seemingly supposed social scholarship.

If there is one, then the payments stop until he pulls up all his “tails”.

3. When paying a social scholarship, the student's progress in each semester, and not during the year, is taken into account.

This is a kind of incentive to study well without debt.

4. The social scholarship also applies to those students who receive higher education at universities in Europe, but free of charge.

5. A year later, it is necessary to re-collect the required package of documents in order to receive another certificate of granting a social scholarship.

So this is a very "fragile" payment, which can be lost in one beautiful moment because of their incompetence or incompetence.

Delays in the payment of social stipends

Sometimes it happens that the social stipend is paid out of time, and without good reason.

This is illegal, and a student with a relevant question must contact the dean's office and resolve the situation.

With the inaction of the university management, there are other instances that will ensure the timely payment of social scholarships.

After observing the situation, I concluded that good studies at a university, this is not only an improvement in one's own qualifications, but also a good, and most importantly, a stable monthly income, which is good for students.

Sometimes there is no need to look for a part-time job when the university pays well.

So this issue should be seriously considered, especially if the status allows. To study well and excellently is not only prestigious, but also economically profitable.

To date, it has become reliably known that, according to statistics, 30% of all students of universities in the Russian Federation receive social scholarships.

This is a colossal amount of money that the state is ready to pay from the budget to improve literacy and development of the population, train highly qualified personnel and ensure a bright future for its undoubtedly powerful state.

Conclusion: I hope that you will no longer have questions about what a social scholarship is and how it differs from an academic scholarship. Actually they are two different government payments which are only partly related to each other.

On the student site, the site has many other useful articles, however, this publication is definitely worth reading at least for self-development.

Now you know for sure what is social scholarship, and what categories of students it relies on!
