Latest innovations

Previously, a social stipend was assigned to all students who theoretically have the right to receive assistance from the state. The presence of this uncertainty in the law allowed many students, due to the low level of income during their studies, to enroll themselves in the ranks of low-income citizens and apply for the appointment of social benefits.

But, in 2018, it was decided to make some clarifications, namely, the design of the scholarship allowance is now available only to those students, which can confirm the fact of receiving state social assistance. The assignment of the scholarship is made from the date of submission to the educational institution of documents and lasts 1 year from the date of commencement of payments.

Previously, the amount of the scholarship fund was a source of funding for state academic and social scholarships only for students. Now the right to apply for material support applies to graduate students, trainee assistants, residents and listeners, although the education of these citizens already has a higher education level, but by no means a student.

2. The Just Russia faction prepared and submitted for consideration a bill, according to which the size of the social stipend was to rise to the subsistence level.
3. Scholarships, which are paid by the State, should be considered by students as assistance to the poor. That is why factors such as academic performance do not affect its appointment.
4. A social scholarship may be awarded to students on academic leave if justified. However, the student does not lose the right to receive an academic scholarship (standard).
5. Each educational institution independently determines the amount of social benefits for its students. In this case, these amounts must be agreed with both the student council and the trade union. The calculated amount of social assistance cannot be lower than the minimum scholarship approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for a specific type of institution.
6. Each university has the right, at its discretion, to increase the amount of social assistance for students. But, at the same time, such costs will not be covered by budget funds.
7. When calculating social benefits for residents of the Far North or other regions with difficult climatic conditions, a multiplying coefficient should be applied.

9. Students of 1-2 courses who receive high marks during the sessions can count on an increased social. assistance, the amount of which will vary in the range of 6,000 rubles. up to 13,000 rubles.

The rules for obtaining this type of state aid are described in the following video.

In Russian universities and colleges, some categories of students can receive the so-called social scholarship. This is a monthly cash benefit that is paid to those in need. In this article, we have sorted out who is entitled to such a scholarship, how to get it, and how much it can be received.

In Russia, a full-time student is a certain status that in many cases makes it possible to equate a student at a university until he reaches the age of 23 with minor citizens. This indicates the recognition of full-time students as more socially vulnerable strata of society. But there are special categories of students who need constant support measures of a financial nature due to the extreme degree of need, a state social stipend is established for them.

This is an allowance provided for by the Federal Law "On Education" dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ, which is paid to special categories of students receiving education on a budgetary basis. Beneficiary students can study both at the top level - the university, and on average - at the secondary school (college, vocational school, technical school).

The procedure for assigning and issuing social benefits to students is detailed in the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia No. 1000 of August 28, 2013 ( Order of the Ministry of Education).

A student applying for a scholarship and a college student who is entitled to financial assistance from the budget must be paid, as a rule, in the form of a monthly payment to a special bank account.

The scholarship, which is in the nature of social support, does not replace an academic scholarship; its payment does not in any way affect the remuneration due for good performance.

Who is eligible to receive

The list of persons entitled to receive social financial assistance is determined at the federal level. Despite the limited list, the normative act gives educational institutions some freedom in this matter. The management has the right to decide on additional measures to support those in need at the expense of funds from extrabudgetary fund institutions. These can be:

• Expanding the circle of fellows by including additional groups of people in need (for example, members of large families, young parents);
• An increase in the monthly payment established at the federal level.

The following categories are established by law:

1. Orphans, as well as children left without guardians, including those whose both parents died during the period of study or who raised the only parent;
2. Children with disabilities from childhood, as well as those who became them with the assignment of the first and second groups of disability, who also received disability due to illness or injury while serving in the army;
3. War veterans ( more in the law "On Veterans");
4. Contract servicemen who have served in the ranks of the armed forces for at least 3 years are equated with the bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rosgvardia, civil defense, state security, FSB;
5. Persons exposed to radiation or injured during man-made disasters;
6. Low-income citizens.

The social stipend provided for the poor is awarded only upon documentary confirmation by applicants for benefits of their need, namely, the level of income per family member should be less than the subsistence level adopted in each specific region of the country.

• Children from a large family;
• Young parents;
• Children whose parents are recognized as disabled in non-working groups (I and II).

In order to receive monthly social security benefits, the student must prove their status. In accordance with the current legislation, the state social scholarship is granted to persons who have submitted documents to an educational institution - the grounds, for each category of beneficiaries they are different.

The termination of the payment of the scholarship does not depend on the student's progress, since the measure is not stimulating, but materially supportive. If a person has confirmed his right to receive this benefit, the educational institution cannot refuse him. Termination is only possible:

• upon graduation from an educational institution (including upon expulsion);
• in the case when the status that affects the receipt is lost (the student ceases to be considered poor, a decision is made to remove the disability).

On the grounds specified in the second paragraph, the recipient of the benefits must notify the dean's office about this, since in case of unjustified receipt of the allowance, the student may be held liable.

Is the social scholarship paid to payers

In addition to the established list of persons applying for a social scholarship, the legislation establishes two mandatory conditions. First, training should be carried out on a budgetary basis. Secondly, the form of study chosen by the student is only daytime.

At the same time, if a student is on academic leave or parental leave until he turns 3, this will not be a legal reason for interrupting the transfer of the social stipend. If the student is asked to write any refusal for the period of absence, it will be illegal.

Students of evening and part-time faculties are deprived of receiving benefits, because they master educational programs without interrupting work.

Paid students are also not provided with this privilege. If the student's tuition is paid for by himself or his parents, then if he becomes an orphan or is recognized as disabled, some universities provide for a transfer to free education. But this becomes possible with high indicators of his academic performance. Also, given the financial difficulties of students, the leadership of the educational institution is accommodating and provides a deferred payment.

Taking into account the direction of social policy in Russia, in 2019 it is planned to establish new benefits for families with children. It is possible that this will also affect measures to support students.

Financial assistance amount

The amount of material assistance is established by government acts. The minimum values ​​are set, which depend on the level of the educational institution:

• 730 rubles - for students in secondary schools;
• 2010 rubles - for students in state universities.

The size of the social scholarship cannot be assigned less than the indicated indicators. From the educational program: bachelor's, specialty or master's degree he does not depend in any way... The payment is made in one payment per month.

Regulatory acts stipulate that some of the students are guaranteed an increased social stipend. Only students who meet the following conditions are eligible to receive it:

1. Freshmen and sophomores;
2. The training is carried out according to the bachelor's and specialty programs;
3. Have good academic performance, there are no “satisfactory” points in the record book;
4. Belong to one of the categories of the legislative list of students on benefits considered earlier;
5. Does not belong to the specified categories, but did not reach 20 years of age at the time of granting the scholarship and the only parent of the student has I group of disability

According to Government Decree No. 679, the amount of the allowance is 6307 rubles. The specified value is an irreducible minimum, institutions have the right to increase it. The order of the Ministry of Education contains a rule according to which: the amount of scholarships, including an increased social one, must be greater than or equal to the subsistence minimum per person in the country as a whole.

This indicator is approved by the Government of the Russian Federation for each quarter of the calendar year. For the appointment of an increased scholarship, an educational institution forms its own scholarship fund, taking into account the 4th quarter of the previous year. The increased amount of cash payments is established at the end of the session.

In case of termination of studies, social stipends, including an increased one, are paid in proportion to the time that the expelled student devoted to study from the first day of the calendar month to the day of expulsion.

Who is in charge of the appointment

State social scholarships are appointed by order of the head of the institution, the rector of the university or the director of a vocational school, college. The administrative act indicates the date from which payments begin. This is the date on which the student submits the necessary documents confirming his eligibility for a social stipend.

A document certifying that a student has been assigned to one of the preferential categories must contain the period for maintaining such status. If we are talking about an indefinite certificate (for example, a veteran's certificate, a certificate of disability, or the absence of a guardian), then the grant of a preferential scholarship occurs before graduation. Since January 1, 2017, the procedure for granting scholarships has changed for low-income citizens. They were obliged not only to confirm the lack of income, but also to receive state aid. For those students who are recipients of state social assistance ( the poor), the scholarship is awarded for exactly 1 year, as well as state social assistance.

You will need this information:

The procedure for the appointment of any payments is fixed in the corresponding local act of the educational institution. The decision on the amount of social benefits from the budget to students is made by the Academic Council, taking into account the student's opinion and representatives of the student trade union (when it is established in an educational institution). The accepted level of the scholarship should not be less than the normatively established one.

How to apply for receipt

In order to apply for a social scholarship, you need to worry in advance about the availability of all the necessary documents. In the Department of Social Policy, certificates are prepared from 2 weeks to a month, and the documents on the basis of which social payments are made must be submitted to the dean's office until early October while writing a statement.

The status of an orphan and a person left without care is confirmed by a certificate from the guardianship, veterans provide a certificate, for persons with disabilities, the certificate indicates the validity period of the restrictions.

To go to the district Department of Social Policy, a student needs 2 types of certificates from an institute or college: about receiving a scholarship and about studying at this institution. Based on these papers and a copy of the passport, the applicant will be issued an appropriate certificate for receiving a social scholarship.

Also, the state agency will additionally request the following documentation if the student is poor:

1. Certificate No. 40, which is taken at the place of residence and reflects the composition of the family living at a specific address;
2. 2NDFL with data for the previous 3 months for all working family members, as well as other documents certifying the total family income (it also includes pensions, benefits, alimony payments). If a healthy, able-bodied family member has no earnings, he brings a certificate that is registered with the labor exchange;
3. Copies of passports, birth certificates of younger family members.

The status of a poor citizen is confirmed annually. Social scholarships for other reasons are awarded before graduation.

Everyone in life can have a difficult life situation, which he is not able to cope with on his own. This could be illness, severe injury or disability, loss of a breadwinner, or poor family financial security.

If such a nuisance happened to a student, the state is obliged to support him, namely, to appoint an additional social scholarship. We will talk about what scholarships are and how they can be issued in our article.

What is a social scholarship and who can receive it

In addition to the standard (and for some outstanding students and), some students are eligible for monthly additional payments. A social scholarship is intended for undergraduate and graduate students studying full-time at the expense of the state (not under a financial contract) and experiencing financial difficulties. In other words, in order for the state to provide you with material support of this kind, you need, firstly, to be a state employee, and secondly, to fall into one of the following categories of students who are entitled to a social scholarship:

1. Orphans, that is, those whose parents were deprived of parental rights before their majority, as well as children without parental care. The last group includes students whose parents:

• Persons from an incomplete family (mother's (father's) family - single);
• Students whose parents are disabled of the first or second group;
• Who created a family, especially if there is a child (children);
• Students whose family income is below the subsistence level (PM is not the same for different regions of the country).

Where to apply and how to apply for a social scholarship

First of all, those applying for this type of material assistance need to contact the social protection (social security department) at the place of residence, registration or temporary registration, where the employees will advise you and give you a list of necessary documents (however, you can find this information on the Internet).

What documents and certificates are needed?

1. Family Composition Statement(a list of persons registered at the same address with you). This document is issued at the passport office at the place of registration upon presentation of a passport or at the housing and communal service. If the student lives in the private sector, he / she provides an extract from the house book. It is important to note that this document is only valid for 10 days, so it is advised to leave it at last.
2. Income statement all family members within the last 3 months (income includes pensions, scholarships, salaries, etc.). A working person takes this certificate from an employer upon application (Form 2-NDFL), a pensioner - in a pension fund, a student - at a university, etc., that is, in the organization to which the citizen is assigned.
3. Certificate of the fact of training.
4. Certificate of (not) receiving a scholarship a different kind.

At the end of the calculation of the student's family income in social protection, he is issued a certificate, which must be submitted to the dean's office or social teacher(details vary by institution) along with a statement written in the pattern set by the institution during September.

Refusal to receive a scholarship and suspension of its payment

1. When providing false information or an incomplete package of documents, the educational institution has the right to refuse to pay the student a social stipend.
2. A student with academic debt at the time of application will also not receive a social scholarship.
3. The payment of the allowance stops when the student has academic debt at the end of the session and is resumed when it is liquidated.

The student should be aware that non-payment of the social stipend due to absenteeism if the student is doing well is illegal. If your school does this, its management is breaking the law by exceeding their authority.

How much is the size of the social scholarship

The amount of "social" is formed by each educational institution independently, depending on the scholarship fund. It's no secret that college social scholarships are less than college-level scholarships. However, at the state level, the Government of the Russian Federation decided that the amount of the social stipend should be at least 730 rubles for students of secondary specialized educational institutions(technical schools, colleges, etc.). In universities(universities, academies, institutes) minimum social scholarship — 2,010 rubles.

It is paid on condition that the student studies at 4 and 5. Its minimum size is 6307 rubles.

Thus, in order to receive a state social scholarship, it is necessary:

• Analyze your financial situation and decide if you fall into one of the appropriate categories;
• Submit a full package of necessary documents for consideration in social protection;
• Submit a certificate from social protection with a written statement on its basis at your educational institution;
• Remember that the right to receive a social scholarship must be confirmed annually, that is, every year it is necessary to collect and submit the relevant documents again. Many people find the procedure for obtaining this allowance rather complicated and refuse the right to additional financial assistance, not wanting to face bureaucracy and “paperwork”. However, a social scholarship is a good financial help, especially for students, so it's better not to be lazy and get it.

We also invite you to watch a video about who is eligible for a social scholarship under the new legislation:

What is the procedure for receiving social scholarships for students from low-income families? This question is asked by students from families experiencing financial difficulties. They can count on receiving material state aid in the form of an additional scholarship, which is paid in addition to the academic one.

Who is eligible for a social scholarship

The state social scholarship for low-income students is a measure of state support for low-income students of universities and colleges. To receive it, the monthly income per person in the family must be below the subsistence level established in the region. Moreover, financial difficulties should be caused by objective reasons: these are low wages, the inability to find a job (while the person is at the labor exchange), the presence of health problems that do not allow finding a job.

In order to understand whether a family is low-income, you need to calculate its total income for the last 3 months (before making payments), and then divide the amount received by the number of family members and by three (number of months). Incomes include salaries, alimony, unemployment benefits, pensions, etc. If the result is less than the subsistence minimum in the region for the current quarter, students from low-income families can start applying for a social scholarship.

The mandatory requirements for processing payments include: the need to study on a budgetary basis full-time department at a university or college. Those students who pay for their education on their own do not have the right to count on state support.

The procedure for obtaining a social scholarship

Universities have the right to independently determine the amount of social scholarships for low-income students. Moreover, it should not be less than the minimum established by the Ministry of Education.

In 2016, the minimum social stipend is 2010 rubles, for college students - 730 rubles.

The law also establishes the maximum amount of payments - 15,000 rubles. At the same time, the limits set annually are indexed by the state.

For those in need who have good academic performance, an increased payment may be established. For example, 1st and 2nd year students who study at "4" and "5" have the opportunity to apply for state aid in the amount of 6,000 to 13,000 rubles. But the presence of triplets does not deprive the right of state support, the main thing is not to have tails and debts.

Before proceeding with the registration of a social scholarship, you need to contact the territorial department of social protection to obtain the status of a poor family for the family. You must have with you a package of documents established by law:

• a certificate from the dean's office that you are studying on a full-time basis;
• certificate of the amount of academic scholarship (or non-receipt);
• other documents.

On the basis of the submitted documents, social security will issue a certificate stating that the student is entitled to a social stipend.

With this certificate it is necessary to come to the dean's office or to a social teacher and write an application for receiving support measures.

Often, the application is required to attach the account details for the transfer of funds.

Most universities have a rule: you need to apply for a social scholarship in September. It will be transferred within a year, for the next academic year it will be necessary to re-collect documents for social protection and draw up payments.

The social stipend stops being paid in the presence of tails and debts in exams. After their liquidation, payments will resume.

At the same time, payments continue during the period of academic leave, maternity leave and childcare leave. Universities cannot deprive students of state-guaranteed aid.

The scholarship is a compulsory payment of funds to students throughout their studies at the university. The payment of scholarships is regulated by the 2012 Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation". Paid students do not receive a scholarship.
