For many years and even decades, the legislation of the Russian Federation has provided for a fairly extensive and varied program of support for the population in need of social protection and various financial assistance. The social scholarship for students of 2017-2018 is the very point that is included in this program.

Initially, the main and primary task and significance of scholarships issued to students was to stimulate students in some way, as well as to facilitate living conditions. Today, there are several types and categories of scholarships, each of which has its own characteristics and, of course, differs from each other in conditions and size.

Types of scholarships.

The list of the most basic scholarships that are provided in almost every educational institution in the country includes the following.

  1. 1. State academic scholarship, which is basic view monthly scholarship awarded only to successful students throughout all years of study.
  2. 2. An increased academic scholarship is nothing more than lump sum payment especially distinguished students who showed and demonstrated high results in educational, scientific, cultural and other activities.
  3. 3. Scholarships from the President of the Russian Federation, the Government of the Russian Federation, presidents of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, and the governments of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
  4. 4. Personalized scholarships.
  5. 5. State social scholarship, which is intended and awarded to those students who experience special social and material needs. This payment is assigned regardless of how the student studies.

All about the social scholarship, size for low-income families.

If you study the issue related to social scholarships in more detail, then, first of all, you need to familiarize yourself with full list all those who can count on her. According to the existing law of the Russian Federation, this list includes the following categories and groups of students.

  1. 1. Orphans.
  2. 2. Students with the “Disabled Child” category.
  3. 3.Victims of radiation accidents.
  4. 4. Contract servicemen who have served in the army or other military formations of the country for more than 3 years.
  5. 5. Students whose per capita income is below the subsistence level.

If everything is clear with the categories, now you should carefully and in more detail understand the issue of size. To date, the state has also established the minimum amount of all types of government scholarships. Thus, the amount of social scholarships currently amounts to and consists of the following amounts.

  1. 1. For students of colleges, technical schools, schools or other institutions of a secondary professional nature - 730 rubles per month.
  2. 2.For university students – 2010 rubles.

It is worth noting that this is only the minimum acceptable payment threshold for socially vulnerable students. After all, each educational institution sets the amount of such a social scholarship individually.

As a rule, the Government of the Russian Federation together with the municipal self-government bodies of the constituent entities is responsible and fully responsible for the size of the general scholarship fund. As a result, the final decision on the amount of social scholarships is made by the management of each individual educational institution in the country.

But, if everything is relatively clear with size, then another no less significant and important question, which consists of how to apply for the right to receive a social scholarship, what sequence of actions must be followed and at the same time try to save time as much as possible. It is these questions that we will now try to find the answer to.

Procedure for applying for a scholarship.

The very procedure and stages that a student goes through to receive and provide him with additional social payments includes the following sequential actions.


Regarding the timing of document review, today it directly depends on each individual educational institution. But according to the rules, this is no more than 2 weeks.

As you can see, the process of receiving a social scholarship is not as simple as it seems at first glance, but the end justifies the means and such an additional source of receipt cash It is unlikely to bother anyone and will be superfluous.

Current legislation of the Russian Federation provides for a number of benefits and payments for students. The most popular form of student incentives is a social scholarship. It is worth noting: there is large number its types: to stimulate talented youth, encourage graduate students and future candidates of science, or be issued to improve financial situation low-income student.

The state social scholarship is paid to students who have a low income or who have a situation that significantly affects it.

It’s worth noting right away: the source of receiving this type of assistance is the federal budget, and therefore only students on a budgetary form can count on this type of assistance. Current legislation does not provide for any time restrictions, and therefore a student can receive a social scholarship until the end of his studies at the university.

  1. Disabled people of the first and second groups who provided an extract from official documents.
  2. Orphans and students who have lost their legal guardians. This type of scholarship has one more limitation - upon reaching 24 years of age, a citizen loses the right to receive it.
  3. Representatives of families whose average income is below the minimum established (low-income). Also requires confirmation from social security authorities.
  4. Students who are recognized as victims of radiation contamination (accidents at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and Mayak PA).
  5. Persons who have become victims of man-made and natural emergencies.
  6. Those who served in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation under a contract (with at least three years of service).

  2. Representatives large families.
  3. Students whose guardian or parent has a first or second group disability.
  4. Students from single-parent families (where one of the parents is absent).

When can payments be suspended?

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

How is a social scholarship awarded?

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

Other types of assistance such as personal or academic scholarships do not deprive the student of the right to receive a social scholarship for students in 2017 year. It is important to familiarize yourself with the provisions on the assignment of financial assistance at the very beginning academic year, since the deadline for submitting documents (certificates) to confirm your status is also indicated there. In most cases, the student will have about one month to collect the necessary papers.

What documents are required to receive a social scholarship?

The list of documents directly depends on which of the categories listed above the student belongs to. Payment of social scholarships to students in 2017 is based on:

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

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

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

After its adoption, employees of the Department of Social Protection of the Population will check the information given to them and calculate the average income and compare it with the minimum indicators for your constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

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

An important point: the validity period of the certificate of low-income family is one calendar year from the date of receipt. That is, to receive a social scholarship two semesters later, you will have to repeat the procedure described above again.

Volume of payments

This year, the minimum amount of social scholarship established by law is 2,010 rubles for students budget place at the university. For a secondary educational institution the situation is much worse - there the figure is 730 rubles. In reality, payments will certainly be higher than these figures.

Important: cessation of payments if a student’s performance is positive is a criminal offense. It falls under two articles at once:

  • 145 part 1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation “Non-payment of wages, pensions, scholarships, benefits and other payments”;
  • 285 part 1 “Abuse of official powers”.

For displaced people

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

Also, the provision of material assistance may be regulated by international treaties concluded by Russian Federation with other countries. Consequently, along with other students, displaced students are also entitled to a social scholarship. 2017 in this context did not bring current situation cases of any changes.

Bottom line

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

A social scholarship does not depend on an educational one - it is awarded only on special grounds. Moreover, it is accrued monthly and has a fixed amount.

This type of financial assistance is regulated by certain regulations.

Regulatory framework

Social scholarships are calculated on the basis of the following laws.

Who is entitled to a social scholarship?

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

  • study full-time;
  • be on budget training;
  • have no academic debt.

In addition, the scholarship is provided only to certain categories of citizens.

  1. Orphans. These include students who have not had parents (due to the death of the latter) since 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 disability must be documented by a medical certificate.
  4. Low-income citizens. The student’s family income (or his own) does not exceed the subsistence level established in the region.
  5. Students who suffered radiation exposure as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and other radioactive disasters.
  6. Students who have served under a 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 from an incurable disease. In these cases, the administration of the educational institution can independently establish the types of scholarships available to needy students. This is not a government measure; it is an initiative of the university itself.

As a rule, financial support is provided:

  • low-income 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 food in the canteen;
  • scholarship supplement;
  • preferential living conditions in a hostel;
  • survivor benefits;
  • one-time financial assistance for food, clothing and other necessary things;
  • provision of materials for training (notebooks, textbooks, stationery);
  • others at the discretion of the university.

Peculiarities

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

  1. Providing payments for a period of one calendar year. Social benefits are assigned only for a full 12 months. After this time expires, you must re-apply to extend payments. If this is not done, the scholarship will no longer be awarded.
  2. Year-round coverage. These types of social assistance are continuously valid for a whole year. During the holiday period, the stipend continues to be paid. The same applies to maternity and academic leaves.
  3. Academic performance. Grades 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 payments are terminated.

  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 family income (above average). In this case, it is imperative to provide up-to-date information to the university, otherwise the payments received will be considered illegal.
  2. Repeated course. If the student leaves for a second year of study, the payment of the scholarship stops.
  3. Debts. Many people are interested in the question of whether the concept of “suspension of social scholarships” exists. Yes, if there are academic debts and an open session, payments will not be accrued. But if the student eliminates this reason, they will be renewed.
  4. Deduction. One of the significant 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 academic performance or left the university of his own free will. But upon reinstatement, the student has the right to re-assignment of the scholarship.

These are the main reasons on which the accrual of a social scholarship may be terminated. Its cancellation can also occur on the student’s personal initiative, but this exception is rare.

Size

The amount of social assistance is small. It is not enough to meet basic living needs for one month. The payments are only minor financial assistance.

The university sets the scholarship amount independently, but it cannot be less than the minimum established by law.
