receives increased scholarship
Types of scholarships
I am from a wealthy family, I don’t participate in Olympiads and I don’t play for the volleyball team of the faculty. But I won the competition charitable foundation Potanin and I study well and perfectly.
In this article - how to get additional scholarships and payments even with triples in the test.
Ask for social assistance
These are scholarships and payments related to the insufficient provision of parents and the material condition of the family. They are paid by the university, city, country and even charitable foundations.
State social scholarship
Some students are eligible for a social scholarship, even if they study for triples. Orphans, the disabled, veterans, contractors and victims of radiation disasters can receive social stipends. Another social scholarship can be assigned to those who receive state social assistance, for example, poor students.
To arrange everything, you need to contact your social security department or the MFC. There they will calculate the income, assess the life circumstances of a particular student and, if necessary, within ten days they will issue a certificate for the university - on paper or in in electronic format, if issued through the website of public services.
If a student lives in a dormitory and receives only an academic scholarship of 1,484 rubles, he may be recognized as a "lonely poor person." Social workers they will ask if you receive money from your parents and how much. But there is no need to prove it with any documents.
Documents that authorities may request social protection:
- Passport.
- Certificate of registration in form No. 9 or certificate of registration at the place of residence in form No. 3.
- Certificate from the university indicating the course, form and period of study.
- Certificate of ownership of the property.
- A document confirming the right to benefits: a certificate of serving a sentence by parents, a death certificate of parents, a certificate of disability, etc.
- Documents confirming income.
The social scholarship is appointed for a year from the date of issue of the certificate. If the certificate was issued in May 2017, and the student brought it to the university only in September, then the social scholarship will be paid from September 2017 to May 2018, while the certificate is valid. Then the documents will have to be reissued.
The university will help you understand the rules for assigning social scholarships: they follow the laws and know who and what is supposed to. But they may not specifically talk about the new rules. It is better to go to the dean's office and personally find out that a particular student is in a difficult life situation can get from the state.
Increased social scholarship
Sum: no less than an increase to the living wage.
Payouts: once a month for a year.
Innings: at the beginning of the semester.
Specialists and bachelors of the first and second year can apply for an increased social stipend if they already receive a regular social stipend, and also if they have only one parent - a disabled person of the first group. This scholarship is paid only to good students and excellent students.
The size of the increased scholarship is set by the university, but it must increase the student's income to the subsistence level per capita. This standard is set by the government. The cost of living is taken for the fourth quarter a year before the formation of the scholarship fund. For example, for the fourth quarter of 2016 living wage per capita amounted to 9691 rubles. That is, if a student of St. Petersburg State University, who receives an academic and social scholarship of 1485 and 2228 rubles, wins the competition for an increased social scholarship, it should be at least 5978 rubles.
The exact amount of the increased scholarship is established by the university, taking into account the educational program, the course and the size of the scholarship fund. At St Petersburg University, a competition for such a scholarship is held once a semester. In other universities it may be different, so it is better to check with the dean's office or the educational department.
Material aid
Sum: no more than 12 social scholarships.
Payouts:
Innings: announces the university.
Eligibility Criteria financial assistance much wider than for social scholarships. The university pays it from its own budget once a quarter, and the minimum amount is not fixed anywhere. Often the payouts are based on how many students needed help that quarter.
You can ask for financial assistance from the university if your parents are divorced, if you have children, or if you fell ill and bought expensive drugs. The university will need to provide a birth certificate for the child, contracts for treatment and receipts for medicines.
Full list situations in which the university helps needy students should be sought in official documents. St. Petersburg State University pays students from other cities and countries tickets from St. Petersburg home and back for the holidays, and St. Petersburg State University of Economics “donates” money for students’ weddings.
Scholarship program "Five plus"
If you study without triples, then a poor student can apply for a scholarship "Five with a plus" from the "Creation" charity foundation. Students under the age of 21 can participate in the competition. The advantage is given to excellent students and winners of olympiads, competitions, sports competitions. Achievements are taken into account for the last two years.
Documents for the program "Five with a plus":
- Application.
- Certificate of achievement with the seal of the university.
- Copy of the passport.
- Documents confirming that the student is under guardianship and guardianship, and other documents providing benefits (for members foster families, disabled people, refugees, etc.).
- Certificate of income of all family members in the form of 2-personal income tax or a certificate of recognition of the family as poor.
- An extract from the house book on the composition of the family, certified by the original seal.
- Letters, diplomas, award lists of the student for the last two years of study.
- Photo (any, not on the passport).
- Motivation letter.
Play in the football team or drama club
State universities pay higher scholarships to successful students. Achievements are taken into account in five areas: study, science, sports, social activities and creativity.
At St Petersburg University, achievements are evaluated by points. The more areas covered, the higher the chances of getting a scholarship. A student with a TRP badge who wins an environmental poster competition will receive more points than a student who wins five Olympiads in one subject. At the same time, grades are only one of many criteria; it is not necessary to study excellently to participate in the competition.
The increased state academic scholarship (PGAS) is about 10,000 rubles at St. Petersburg State University, from 5,000 to 30,000 rubles at the Higher School of Economics. In most universities, the size of the scholarship changes every semester: it depends on the size of the fund, the number of students and their achievements. There are universities where the size is fixed. For example, active students at St Petersburg University are paid 8,000 rubles each. PGAS is paid once a month during the semester. Documents for PGAS must be submitted at the beginning of the semester.
Community Service Scholarship
In order for the university to take into account your achievements in social activities, you need to participate in the organization of university events or cover them in in social networks, student newspapers. The student who helped organize the KVN and covered the event in the KVN group on Vkontakte will receive more competitive points than the student who organized the KVN and What? Where? When?".
For example, you can volunteer to help with a scientific conference - distribute badges to participants - and ask for a confirmation letter from the department. Other options: open a student debate or cross-stitch club, write about the Miss University contest in the student newspaper.
It is worth checking with the commission what documentary evidence is needed. At St Petersburg University, for example, they accepted a screenshot of a list of group administrators and a link to a page on Vkontakte as confirmation.
Scholarship for creativity
Victory in competitions, public exhibitions and performances, organization of events are considered creative achievements. If you participated in an exhibition or performed at an evening of stand-up comedians, ask for certificates from the organizers. If this is not expected, prepare the document yourself and ask the organizer to sign and stamp it.
You can search for creative competitions on the websites “All competitions”, “Enti-inform”, “Grantist” and “Theory and Practice”, on the website and in social networks of your university. Many competitions themselves involve a cash prize. For example, for the best design of a paper bag, you can get 1100 euros, and for an essay on the novel by Ayn Rand - 2000 dollars.
Sports Achievement Scholarship
In order for the scholarship commission to accrue competitive points for sports success, you must either win competitions, or participate in "socially significant sporting events", or pass the TRP standards for a gold badge. How significant the event is will be determined by the university.
Petersburg, TRP testing centers were opened in every district. In many universities, sports departments organize the delivery of standards for students and staff. At St Petersburg University on February 26, 2017, they passed the cross-country skiing test, and on May 15 - shoot and run. To get a golden TRP badge, you need to pass eight of the eleven tests. Four tests are required: a hundred-meter run, a three-kilometer run, a pull-up or snatch of a 16-kilogram kettlebell, and a forward bend from a standing position on the gymnastic bench.
Points of the increased scholarship for sports achievements cannot be received simultaneously with the President's scholarship for athletes. Members of the Russian teams in Olympic, Paralympic and Deaflympic sports, as well as candidates for them and coaches, are paid 32,000 rubles a month, regardless of whether they study at a university or not.
Study well and publish scientific papers
Excellent students and young scientists can apply not only for PGAS. Such students are encouraged by many: the President, and the Ministry of Education, and regional authorities, and banks with charitable funds. Some universities raise scholarships for students immediately after an excellent session. For example, at St. Petersburg State University, excellent students are paid 4,000 rubles, while good students are paid 2,000.
Check the deadlines for applying for all these scholarships at universities, foundations or companies. In universities, applications are most often collected in the spring.
Enhanced Academic Scholarship
There are three options for earning PGAS points for academic excellence:
- pass two sessions in a row with excellent marks;
- receive a prize for a project or development work;
- win a thematic competition, such as the Olympics.
Achievements are taken into account only for the past year.
A scientific achievement is a prize or grant for research work, publication in a scientific journal, or a patent for an invention.
How to publish an article in a scientific journal
Conferences of young scientists are held by almost all universities. Scientific competitions and conferences for students can also be searched on the websites "All competitions", "Enti-inform", "Grantist" and "Theories and Practices", and also on specialized ones - "Scientific Conferences of Russia", "All Sciences", on the website Department of Scientific Research of St. Petersburg State Institute of Technology and in the scientific calendar "Lomonosov".
Usually, for the application, you need to write the abstract of the report that is supposed to be read at the conference, sometimes you need to send the entire article. The abstracts will then be published in the conference proceedings, and this can be provided to the scholarship committee. For the presentation, you can receive a prize and an invitation to print a full article in a scientific journal or extended collection.
In Russia, scientific journals are certified by the Higher Attestation Commission (Higher attestation commission), but publication in a journal included in the RSCI (Russian Science Citation Index) or Scientific electronic library Elibrary.ru. The conditions for publication in each journal are different. For example, according to the rules of publication in the monthly magazine "Young Scientist" you need to pay 210 rubles for the first page and 168 rubles for the next. The article is reviewed by the editorial board of the journal for 3-5 days, it will be published in the next issue, and a certificate of publication will be sent immediately after payment.
For the competition, prepare the same diplomas, certificates and publications. The selection is not as strict as for state scholarships to scientists, therefore, as an achievement, a speech at a conference, and not just a victory, can be taken into account.
Also prepare your resume and template motivation letter. BP and Ak Bars invite students for interviews. Google asks letter of recommendation teacher, supervisor or an instructor.
win the business game
Business games are an option for the charismatic and courageous. The jury will look at leadership qualities, teamwork and creativity. Such student competitions many, but not all provide real scholarships. For example, the Troika Dialog Scholarship Program is only called a scholarship program: students are paid for transfers to Skolkovo and accommodation there, and finalists are invited for internships at the program's partner companies.
Potanin Foundation Scholarship Program
Sum: 15,000 rubles.
Payouts: once a month from February until the end of training.
Innings: autumn.
The Potanin Foundation pays a scholarship to full-time masters. They don’t look at grades: I graduated from the specialty with triples, but that didn’t stop me from winning.
The competition has two stages of selection. In absentia, you need to fill out a questionnaire with personal data, the topic of a master's thesis, work experience and volunteering. You will have to prepare three essays: a popular science essay on the topic of your dissertation, a motivation letter and an essay about five memorable and significant events in life.
Documents for the Potanin Foundation scholarship:
- A copy of the diploma of higher education (bachelor, specialist).
- Recommendation of the supervisor (supervisor master's program, head of department).
Second round - business game. From morning to evening - tests for teamwork, leadership qualities, creativity. Every year there are new competitions. I entered the competition in 2015. In one competition, it was necessary to write five associations to the word "blue", in another - to distribute the budget of the charitable foundation together with a group of students.
The hardest part was multitasking. It was necessary to lead the company and distribute vacations, hold meetings, and calculate profits during the working day. A sheet with the calculation of profits stuck to my folder. I noticed this when the 40 minutes for the task expired. I had to quickly "delegate" the task to one of the "employees".
Ability to negotiate with people experienced role play"Barriers". Two students had to coordinate their project in three instances. The "barriers" were other students. For example, children's excursions in the Peter and Paul Fortress had to be approved by the head of the excursion department, the PR manager and the director of the museum. The authors of the project had to understand why their project "does not let" the barrier and offer a compromise.
I volunteered to "manage" the department of excursions in Petropavlovka. In the game, I was "afraid" that the children would interfere with tours for foreigners. At first, the authors told how the excursions would raise the image of the museum. He didn't worry me. As a result, they promised that the groups would be small - five or six children each - and always with a teacher. I skipped them to the next barrier.
At lunch, the thought that you are constantly being evaluated did not allow me to calmly sit down with a tray. And if this is a test, they will watch me and decide that I don’t get along well with people if I sit at an empty table?
The last test is the traditional game “What? Where? When?". My team didn't get many points, but I still got the scholarship. I have always volunteered to present the results of teamwork, even if it is an ugly poster that I am ashamed of.
Scholarship "Consultant Plus"
Sum: 1000-3000 rubles.
Payouts: once a month during the semester.
Consultant Plus pays a stipend to those who know the system and can use it to solve a legal case. Competitions are held in Moscow universities among students of 1-4 courses of economic and legal specialties.
At the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, a competition is held among sophomores after a course of lectures. In the first round, students take a test on the knowledge of the system and look for legal acts. The second round is an analysis of the legal situation using the service.
"Consultant Plus" advises you to find out at the Department of Informatics whether the competition is held at your university. To prepare for the competition, study the educational and methodological materials of the service and take part in seminars. The materials published a collection of test tasks - "Training and Testing System".
Maximum Scholarship Amount
I calculated the maximum scholarship that one student can physically receive per month - a master of economics from St. Petersburg State University living in a hostel.
Suppose that he has no income other than a scholarship of 1485 rubles. He lives in a hostel. He studies excellently, publishes a lot in scientific journals and receives grants for their research. Passed the TRP standards for a gold badge, heads the university club “What? Where? When?". Here's what happened.
Calculation of the maximum scholarship
| academic Passed the last session without triples | 1485 R |
| Social Proved the status of a lonely living poor | 2228 R |
| PGAS Scored the most points at the faculty for sports, creativity, social activities, study and science | 13 900 R |
| Presidential Scholarship Received a recommendation from the academic council of the university, was among 700 the best students non-priority areas from all over Russia in terms of the number and quality of grants and scientific publications | 2200 R |

| Viking Bank Scholarship Passed the last session with excellent marks, has GPA above 4.5 and success in the scientific field, won the competitive selection | President's Scholarship - 2200 R
Scholarships for Russian students are significantly inferior to similar payments in developed European countries.
State assistance is all that a university student can count on, otherwise he will be forced to devote less time to study and be torn between pairs and part-time jobs.
Conditions must be created in the country that allow one to focus on knowledge, so a scholarship is a very burning issue.
The legislative framework
The procedure for paying scholarships is regulated by Article 36 federal law dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On education in Russian Federation».
A scholarship is a monetary payment assigned to a student in order for him to aspire to the development of the corresponding educational course. Only the student and graduate student who has chosen the full-time department for study can count on receiving.
If we talk about the timing, then 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 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 charter of the institution and in the manner established by the council of the supreme educational institution. The approval of 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 relevant order submitted by the scholarship commission. Such payment terminates 1 month after the student was issued an order to expel the student (due to poor progress or graduation). The scholarship committee may include a student union member or student representative. A student studying for "excellent", or "good" and "excellent", or only "good" can count on an academic scholarship.
Graduate student begins to receive a scholarship immediately after the rector signed the enrollment order. Further payments depend on the results of the annual assessment of knowledge (exams).
If a student or graduate student is very interested in educational and scientific activities and has achieved success in it, 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 enjoyable moment for a student. Anyone who has entered the budget place, for day care. If a freshman is or, then he should also be paid a social stipend.
Withdrawal can occur after any failed session.
Payouts
At present, scholarships of various kinds (15 titles) 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 rejoice at it very much.
Graduate students, residents, interns and doctoral students receive a little more, but it 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 manage to receive about 20 thousand rubles a month.
Minimum Scholarship a student in a university is 1571 rubles, in a vocational school - 856 rubles. Despite the not very modest amount, a student studying in a higher educational institution without “triples” can receive about 6 thousand rubles. And if the passing of the session showed “excellent” results, then you can think about higher scholarship , the size of which in different educational institutions varies from 5000 to 7000 rubles. A similar payment for a graduate student ranges from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles. True, in order to receive such substantial 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.
Scholarship increase in 2018-2019
The Ministry of Education last year raised the issue of increasing scholarships for all students studying in educational institutions of the Russian Federation. During the debates, representatives of the Ministry of Education of Russia planned to increase student payments in 2018 by 4.0% which will remain in effect until the end of 2019.
During the first half of this year, it is planned to index scholarships by 6.0% (of inflation) for the 2017-2018 academic year. As a result, payments to students will be increased once again.
Scholarships for 2018-2019 academic years will increase in the following way:
- for 62 rubles. for university students;
- for 34 rubles. for students of technical schools;
- for 34 rubles. for college students.
Features and amount of social scholarship
Receive Social scholarship is entitled to:
In addition, a student who has a certificate in his hands stating that his family's 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 stipend is stopped if the student has unsatisfactory grades and is restored as soon as he passed necessary items 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 accrual and payment of 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. Postgraduate 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 achieve success and special merit may also receive a presidential supplement. The accrual of such a scholarship requires the development of a list of areas in which the development of students will ultimately turn out to be of significant benefit to the state.
Primary requirements to receive a presidential supplement:
- day department;
- half of the subjects within 2 semesters must be passed on "excellent";
- active scientific activity, which led to the 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 do 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 pedagogical council of the institution must nominate several candidates (full-time department, budgetary basis), students in the 2nd year (for the SUZ) and the 3rd year (for the university). A postgraduate student can be admitted to the competition not earlier than from the 2nd year.
The nominated candidate must meet the following requirements:
- high level of achievement;
- 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 attesting to the authorship of a scientific discovery.
Other student aids
The occurrence of certain circumstances may result in payment to a student or graduate student lump sum, for example, if it has . To do this, the head of the educational institution must receive an application from the student, and the group in which he studies, and the student trade union organization must approve it.
A postgraduate student annually receives an allowance equal to 2 scholarships for the purchase of textbooks. An orphan student or one left without parental care receives an annual allowance for the same needs in the amount of 3 scholarships.
In addition, students are given various compensation:
- behind successful learning at the full-time department at the expense of budgetary funds;
- academic leave in accordance with medical indications.

For another type of scholarship for distinguished students, see the following video:
For many students, a scholarship is the only means of subsistence, for others it is a significant help. There are not so many students for whom a scholarship does not matter. Therefore, it is not surprising that the majority of students in higher education keep a close eye on the amount of their tuition fees and how they are calculated. In this regard, the question is very popular: is the scholarship reward paid in the summer, in the months during which classes are not held? To begin with, let's figure out what a scholarship is in general.
A scholarship is a special payment made to students of higher and professional educational institutions. full-time learning. To qualify, you must meet certain level progress, so not all students from among those who are eligible for a scholarship receive a scholarship. The exception is students of the first semester of the first school year, that is, those students who have not yet passed the first session, they receive academic payments without exception.
In Russia, universities and other organizations pay the following types of scholarships:
- academic;
- personal;
- nominal;
- social.
The conditions for receiving an academic allowance are the least strict: for this, it is enough just to close the session on time with “good” or “excellent” in the subjects taken into account, after which the student is provided with payments for the next six months, including in the summer. It is interesting that students who study abroad can also receive benefits, but for this it is necessary to conclude a special international agreement.
Summer benefits
In order to receive payments in the summer, it is necessary to successfully, from the first time, close the session of the second semester, while the average score in the exams should not be lower than four. However, this is only a standard requirement, each university can establish its own rules, because of this, the conditions for obtaining scholarships in different universities are not the same.
Holidays are not only for summer months therefore it is useful for students to be aware of the principle of calculating benefits during these periods. Payments during periods free from study are no different from ordinary ones, by analogy they are made on schedule, their size and availability depend only on the student's progress.
By the way, it is worth knowing that the scholarship for June is determined by the session for the first semester, since the session of the second semester is held in June, as a result of which payments for the first semester of the next academic year will be determined, including for the remaining summer months. Thus, even if the student does not cope with the session, the student will still receive the allowance for June, unless he “flunked” the last session as well.
It is important to remember that graduates do not receive benefits after passing the last session, because they are expelled from the university or other educational institution in connection with its graduation. Almost always, the expulsion of graduates occurs before the first of July, therefore, they can receive benefits only in the first summer month. It can be concluded that students who are still studying and have successfully passed the last session of the academic year, the scholarship will be paid in the summer.
Benefit method
Each university has the right to introduce its own unique procedure for calculating allowances, this does not mean that some educational institutions do not pay allowances in the summer months, there may simply be certain features in this procedure.
The basic procedure is as follows: upon successful completion of the session, the student receives an allowance for three months - for June (the month in which tests and exams were taken), for July and for August. Those students who failed to successfully pass exams and tests receive payment for only one month. In other educational institutions, payments for July and August occur simultaneously with September. That is, sometimes a student receives a triple scholarship in one month.
It is worth considering that students are guaranteed the right to a scholarship only in state universities, in private educational institutions the scholarship is usually not paid, or it is paid only by a small part of students for particularly exemplary studies.
By the way, if you close the debt on failed exams and tests from previous sessions in time, then the scholarship for the summer months will be accrued. That is, there is an opportunity to receive payments for the past months, if you deal with the past sessions. However, for this, your average score must be at least four. Accordingly, it is beneficial for students to go to retakes, trying to improve their grades.
Another payment procedure applies:
- in colleges;
- in technical schools.
You can also receive a scholarship in other countries where students from Russia can study:
- Ukraine.
- Belarus.
- Germany.
- France.
- Great Britain.
- And others.
In order for a poor student to somehow live in this cruel world, it is not at all necessary to be the child of rich parents or work around the clock as a dishwasher. Here are some completely legal and real ways get a good amount even with minimal grades in the test.
Method 1: social assistance
If your parents are underprivileged, you can ask for social assistance. Such payments are provided by the university, city, state, and sometimes even charitable organizations.
State social scholarship
How many: 2227 p.
How often
How fast: immediately upon readiness of the certificate from the social security authorities.
On a note!
Read more about the provisions on who and in what cases has the right to this species financial assistance, you can here.
Some are more fortunate than others, and they, having only triples in the record books, are entitled to a social stipend. Who are they?
- disabled people,
- orphans,
- Victims in radiation disasters,
- Veterans.
Also, those who belong to the category of the poor can count on a social scholarship.
To complete all required documents you should contact the relevant MFC or the department of social protection. After the income is calculated there and the life circumstances of a particular student are assessed, the authority will issue an appropriate certificate for the university.
The student who lives in a dormitory and does not receive any other income except for an academic scholarship in the amount of 1,500 rubles can be recognized as a “lonely poor person”. In this case, the social service will definitely ask if the student received financial assistance from parents or other relatives and acquaintances, and if he did, then in what amount. But somehow this data should not be documented.
Be prepared to provide the following documents to the social security authorities:
- Passport,
- Certificate or certificate of registration in the form No. 9 or No. 3,
- Certificate from the university with data on the course, form and duration of study,
- Certificate of ownership of the property,
- Evidence that you are eligible for benefits (certificate of death of the parent, certificate of his serving a sentence, certificate of disability, etc.),
- Income statement.
Important!
Social scholarship is issued for a period of one year from the date of issuance of the certificate. That is, if the certificate was issued in April 2017, and the student submitted it only in September, then the social scholarship will be paid from September to May of the next year. Next year, you will have to go through the procedure of collecting and submitting documents again.
Do not worry that you do not know all the intricacies of social scholarship. The university will definitely tell you, because the university staff constantly monitors the relevance of laws, regulations and regulations, and will certainly advise you on whether you are eligible for such benefits.
It is better to find out the latest news in the dean's office - they will definitely tell you about all the ways to receive material assistance from the state
Increased social scholarship
How many: equal to or greater than the living wage increase.
How often: every month for one year.
When to apply: at the beginning of the semester.
Only specialists and bachelors can count on such assistance. initial courses(first and second) and only if they earned with their grades for a regular scholarship.
Another prerequisite is that one of the parents belongs to the disabled of the first group.
And finally, only good students and excellent students can apply for such a scholarship.
On a note!
