The scholarship for students in 2017 is issued to all students of higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation. This year, there was an acute question of whether student payments would be increased. Annually, funding is calculated for students, they change depending on what needs the population has for the current year. In 2017, an increase in the scholarship is also expected.

As the latest official information shows, this year these payments grow by 5.9%, in the future - by 4.8%, and in two years - 4.5%, which means that over the course of three years there will be an increase due to indexation, that will not worsen the situation of the people.

Based on the percentages presented above, the minimum rate for students in Russian higher educational institutions is calculated as follows: at the moment - 1419 rubles, next year - 1487 rubles, and in two years - 1554 rubles.

Innovations in 2017

As the practice of other countries shows, this is state funding. In addition to the basic payments, which do not always fully satisfy all the needs of young people, there is an opportunity to receive additional incentives for active participation in the life of the university.

Last year, the State Duma introduced a bill, with the help of which the deputies plan to equalize the minimum amount of funding for students according to the minimum wage, while the minimum wage rate for the beginning of the summer is planned to be increased to 7,800 rubles. After the adoption of the bill, students will increase living expenses in relation to scholarships.

Varieties

In the Russian Federation, more than one scholarship is currently being paid, there are four types of public funding in total, which differ in rate, payment scheme:

• State academic payments;
• Academic bonuses.
• Social assistance to the poor;
• Rewards and bonuses for certain types.

State Academic Scholarship

To receive this type of scholarship, it is necessary to receive positive marks (if there are no negative marks in the record book, the student will receive more) and participate in holidays, performances and activities of the institution.

To date, in 2017, the minimum amount of these payments is 1,340 rubles for those who receive higher education and 487 rubles if a person receives a specialized secondary education. You can get a maximum of 6 thousand rubles together with all allowances. If a person studies in graduate school, he receives 2600 rubles, doctoral studies - up to 10 thousand rubles.

The management of the educational institution issues increased payments only to excellent students who participate in the active life of the university. The amount of these payments is determined by the institution depending on many criteria. At the moment, payments are 5 - 7 thousand rubles for an ordinary student, 11 - 14 thousand for a graduate student.

There is a separate type of payment -. The scholarship is received by students from large families, with disabilities, without the care of their father and mother, who suffered in the aftermath of the fight against the Chernobyl accident, participating in hostilities.

• students from large families;
• with a disability;
• who suffered in the aftermath of the fight against the Chernobyl accident;
• participating in hostilities.

A person can independently apply to the administration for help if his family does not receive income above the minimum, this is considered low-income. This documentation is updated every year.

The social scholarship is terminated in accruals if the person does not pass the session, fails the exams, with unsatisfactory grades, if it is not lower than three, social payments do not change. In addition to social benefits, it is possible to receive other scholarships in parallel, this also does not affect the total amount.

Incentives

The President's Scholarship is granted only to those students who have chosen a specialty that is considered favorable for the economic condition of the state. Postgraduate students who study in the country can receive no more than three hundred scholarships. Each year, these accruals are made for up to three years.

Students who achieve merit during their studies qualify for the accrual of Presidential funding. The receipt of these payments goes through the development of student development plans, from which the Russian Federation benefits.

The main requirements for the accrual of presidential funding are:

• full-time education;
• for the whole year, 50% of the grades in the gradebook must be above 4;
• receiving awards and accolades in scientific activities that help the development of the economy and science;
• intellectual property that benefits the scientific activities of the state.

A student who receives presidential funding can, with the help of a university, study in some European countries. Those who study at an accredited state educational institution have the opportunity to receive government payments.

To this end, the pedagogical council of the university or college nominates among the available candidates (with a full-time department on a budgetary basis) who are in the 2nd year (if it is a higher education institution) and the 3rd year (if it is a university). From graduate school, a person is admitted to candidacy from the 2nd year.

The procedure for registration depends on the basis on which the student plans to receive a scholarship. For students who belong to the categories of orphans or children left without parental care, or persons from among them, the grounds may be documents from the registry office or court decisions.

For students with disabilities - a certificate from the bodies of medical and social expertise. Documents must be submitted to the dean's office, accounting department, trade union committee, department of extracurricular or social work - in different universities, different departments deal with scholarship issues.

Documentation. The most difficult procedure for obtaining scholarships is for students who receive state social assistance. They need to assemble the following kit:

1. Get a certificate from the university stating that this citizen is a student, and about the amount in which he receives a scholarship.
2. Contact the place of residence and take a certificate of family composition.
3. Collect documents on the income of all family members from paragraph 2.
4. With a set of documents, contact the MFC or the social security authority at the place of residence. For example, it can be a department, department of social protection, department of the Ministry of Social Policy.
5. Get a document that will confirm the registration of social assistance.
6. The specified document on receipt of state social assistance must be referred to the relevant specialized structural unit of your educational institution.

Where to apply. The poor, in order to obtain a document on the appointment of state social assistance, apply to the MFC or the local department of social protection at the student's place of residence. Then they go to the dean's office with this document. Students of other categories immediately go to the structural unit of the university, which is responsible for awarding scholarships.

The educational organization must accept the application from the student in any case - it has no right to refer to the "deadlines for accepting applications" or other reasons. Applications from students must be accepted on any working day, including during the period of intermediate certification or holidays.

The amount of the social scholarship

Social scholarship is ordinary and increased. The basic size of the social scholarship is 809 R for secondary vocational education and 2,227 R for higher education.

The educational organization determines the specific amount of the social scholarship within the framework of its scholarship fund. On average, this size for students who study under higher education programs is 2700-3000 R. In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in which a district coefficient is established, the indicated amounts are multiplied by this coefficient.

The size of the social scholarship may change if the number of students who receive this payment has changed significantly in one direction or another. But in any case, the scholarship cannot be lower than the minimum amount established by law.

If a student is in the 1st or 2nd year of a university under a bachelor's or specialist's program, receives a social scholarship and at the same time studies for grades no lower than “good”, he will receive a social scholarship in an increased amount. At the same time, in the first semester, 1st year students do not have the right to this payment - it is assigned only after the first session. This opportunity does not apply to undergraduate students.

The state does not determine the exact amount of the increased social stipend. Universities set their own rates. At the same time, the amount of academic and increased social scholarships should not be less than in Russia as a whole. The cost of living is taken for the fourth quarter of the year that preceded the year the scholarship fund was formed at the university.

Calculation example increased social scholarship for the spring semester of the 2019/20 academic year. Suppose a university has a scholarship fund in 2019. So, to calculate the minimum amount of academic and increased scholarships for the first semester, they will take the cost of living for the fourth quarter of 2018 - 10,213 R.

If in January 2020 a student passed the winter session at least “good”, the entire next semester will receive at least 10,213 R - this is the sum of academic and increased social scholarships. If at the university the academic scholarship is 1484 R, then the increased social scholarship will be 8729 R.

There is another similar case. If a student is under 20 years old and has only one parent, who is a disabled person of the 1st group, such a student can receive an increased scholarship if they pass the session with grades no lower than “good”.

Terms of receipt

The social scholarship is appointed from the day when the student brings the document according to which he is entitled to the scholarship. Students who have applied for state social assistance are assigned a scholarship for a year from the date of issuance of a certificate of receipt of state social assistance from the social protection authority. If the certificate was issued in January, and the student brought it only in September, then a new certificate will be required in January of the next year.

Social scholarship is appointed from the date of submission of documents, in the first month of payment - in proportion to the days. For example, if in an educational organization the scholarship is 2700 R, and the student provided a certificate on September 11, then for September he will receive a scholarship only for the period from September 11 to September 30, that is, 2700 × (20/30) = 1800 R.

Students of all other categories are paid a social stipend while their foundation is in effect. If the documents are open-ended, they will pay until the end of the training.

Payment procedure

The social stipend is paid once a month. This payment does not depend on academic performance in any way, it is paid to triple students and even if the student has a debt in one or more subjects. The social stipend continues to be paid during academic leave, maternity leave, and parental leave.

The procedure for applying for a scholarship may differ in different regions, but the targeted character in matters of social support for students remains the same.

Everyone who receives a payment must carefully monitor the deadlines for documents. For example, if the certificate has expired, it will take some time to reissue the documents. The scholarship will be re-assigned only from the date when the student submits a new certificate to the educational organization, and there will be no recalculation for the “lost” time.

If there are controversial issues - the terms of payment are violated or the application is not accepted, you can always contact the student self-government bodies - for example, the trade union committee of students at your university. For student self-government bodies, questions about the size and correctness of the scholarship, as well as how the rights of socially unprotected categories of students are respected, are a priority.
