Probably, every student, even the future one, today is concerned and very interested in the issue of the financial allowance in the form of a scholarship, which he should receive while studying at an educational institution after graduation. Scholarship for students of the 2016-2017 academic year is one of the most relevant and very interesting topics, since the size and the issue of its increase is under close control and attention. Currently, the State Duma of the Russian Federation is considering a bill that will initiate an increase in scholarships for both state employees and full-time graduate students, since no scholarships are expected for the correspondence department. It is worth noting that today this social payment does not meet and does not correspond to the established subsistence level. What does this lead to? Moreover, every day more and more students are forced to look for additional income, which to a greater extent disrupts and interferes with the educational process, affecting the results and quality of education. According to the new bill, an increase in the allowance can already be expected from January 1, 2016.

Who should expect a raise?

According to the Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov, all scholarships will be indexed in a mandatory manner, depending on the region and actual inflation rates, although the increase was originally planned at 20%. But due to the economic difficulties that arose, this option was not accepted.

At present, the living wage in the country is at the level of 9,662 rubles, and, therefore, the increase in scholarships should be at an appropriate level so that the student does not even have a thought about finding a part-time job, and he must devote all his time to the educational process.

How much will scholarships increase?

Everyone knows that there are several types of scholarships for students, and each individual group is characterized by its own numbers and features of provision, which you must be aware of.

First, this is a regular scholarship. The amount of such a cash payment in its maximum manifestation may increase to 10,000 rubles. But, do not flatter yourself and rejoice too much, since the size of the scholarship in each region will be different and different from the central one. But, nevertheless, the amount of the minimum scholarship will not be less than the subsistence minimum established by regions, so the scholarship directly depends on the characteristics and economic situation of the region.

Scholarship, for many applicants, is the only source of funds. This is especially true for those who are more interested in obtaining a quality professional education and want to become a truly highly qualified and knowledgeable specialist. That is why the well-being of students directly depends on the size of their financial allowance, which must reach the required level in order to meet all the requirements and requests. In the event that the bill is passed, then scholarships for students will be a good help for excellent studies, where, of course, the educational process will come first, and not an additional job search.

In accordance with Part 2 of Article 34 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as the Law), students are provided with social support measures and incentives, including the right to receive scholarships, material assistance and other monetary payments provided for by the legislation on education.

Part 2 of Article 36 of the Law establishes the types of scholarships, while in accordance with clauses 10 and 11 of the Procedure for assigning state academic scholarships and (or) state social scholarships to students studying full-time at the expense of the federal budget, state scholarships for graduate students, residents, to trainee assistants studying full-time at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget, the payment of scholarships to students of preparatory departments of federal state educational organizations of higher education, studying at the expense of the budgetary allocations of the federal budget, approved by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated August 28, 2013 No. 1000 (hereinafter - Order), state academic scholarships for students, state social scholarships for students, state scholarships for graduate students, residents, assistant trainees, scholarships for students of preparatory departments are assigned by administrative act of the head of the organization and is paid by the organization once a month.

Part 1 of Article 28 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter referred to as the Law on Education) determines that an educational organization has autonomy, which means independence in the implementation of educational, scientific, administrative, financial and economic activities, development and adoption of local regulations in accordance with the Law on Education, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and the charter of the educational organization. In this regard, when preparing local regulations on scholarship provision (hereinafter referred to as the regulation on scholarship provision), it is advisable to provide flexible mechanisms for student scholarship provision within the total amount of the scholarship fund and extrabudgetary funds in order to motivate students to achieve high academic results and support those in need, first of all, socially unprotected students and other categories of students who have the right to receive scholarship payments and other types of material support.

In order to implement a unified policy in the field of scholarship provision and prevent the emergence of social tension among students, the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia considers it appropriate to determine the period of scholarship payments in the provisions on scholarship provision, setting it monthly from the 25th day of the current calendar month to the 5th day of the month following the month for which the payment is made (in December, the scholarship must be paid no later than December 31 of the current year).

In addition, in accordance with Article 29 of the Law, educational organizations ensure the openness and accessibility of information, including the availability and conditions for providing scholarships to students, social support measures. In this regard, the provisions on scholarships, including information on the terms (periods) of payment of scholarships provided for in an educational organization, must be posted on the official website of the educational organization in the appropriate section.

We draw the attention of the heads of educational organizations to the need for uniform spending of the scholarship fund. In order to prevent students from forming an opinion at the beginning of the calendar year about the reduction in the size of scholarships and the growth of social tension in the student environment, the management of educational organizations must form, together with student councils and representative bodies of students (trade union organizations), a schedule for spending the scholarship fund, indicating it contains monthly amounts of state academic and social scholarships. In addition, it is noted that in the first half of the year, until July 10, at least 40 percent of the total scholarship fund should be spent to provide all types of scholarship payments.

Given the above, scholarship payments in 2016 should not be less than established in the educational organization in 2015 for state academic scholarships and for state social scholarships.

Federal Laws No. 349-FZ of December 2, 2013 “On the Federal Budget for 2014 and the Planning Period of 2015 and 2016” and No. 384-FZ of December 1, 2014 “On the Federal Budget for 2015 and the Planning Period 2016 and 2017” indexation was provided from September 1, 2014 by 5% and from September 1, 2015 by 5.5% of the size of the scholarship fund for students of educational institutions.

Scholarship - financial assistance that is paid to students of universities, technical schools, colleges, secondary schools, other educational institutions, as well as graduate students and those who are studying for a doctoral degree. Often a scholarship is the only source of survival while studying. What is the scholarship amount for students in 2019?

Before entering an educational institution, a future student should familiarize himself with the fact that the scholarship is paid only in state universities, technical schools, etc. Private educational institutions are deprived of state support, therefore students also do not receive financial assistance.

What are the scholarships? Educational institutions in Russia pay their students the following types of financial assistance:

• Academic. It is received by full-time students who are on a budgetary form of education and who do not have academic debts. Such students should study only for "Good" or "Excellent". However, this indicator may not be final, as different universities may have their own criteria.
• Increased academic. It is awarded to students from the 2nd year, provided that in the 1st year they have distinguished themselves by high results in studies or sports. Participation in the cultural life of the institution is also welcome.
• Social. It is paid to students who need financial assistance from the state. The fact of its payment does not depend on the results of the student's studies. It is provided only on the basis of the necessary documents, according to which material assistance is paid. But this assistance can be not only monetary, but, for example, in the form of payment for living in a hostel.
• Nominal government and presidential. It is paid to students of faculties of priority areas who have high academic achievements.

In total, there are 15 types of scholarships in Russia.

Academic Scholarship

What does the scholarship depend on and how is it paid? Academic scholarship is assigned to all applicants automatically. The entire first semester they will receive it in the same amount. It is paid by card or in cash at the same time.

The academic scholarship stops being paid one month after the issuance of the student's expulsion order. A graduate student receives the first scholarship in the month of his enrollment in an educational institution. Payments in the future vary depending on the assessment of knowledge.

How to get an increased scholarship? Only students who:

• Passed competitive selection;
• Ranked in the top 10% for each semester.

social scholarship

In 2019, a social scholarship is paid in the amount of 720 rubles. for institutions of secondary vocational education and 2010 rubles. for bachelors and students in the magistracy. How to get a social scholarship? You can count on such payments:

• Disabled people of groups I and II, as well as people with disabilities;
• Orphans, as well as children left without parental care;
• War veterans;
• Students whose family income does not exceed the subsistence level at the place of residence.

How to get a social scholarship? To do this, you need to contact the dean's office with the necessary documents confirming the right to receive it.

The social scholarship is not paid if the student has unsatisfactory grades based on the results of the session. If performance improves, payments are restored. Simultaneously with this type of scholarship, an academic scholarship can be paid on a general basis.

Accrual and payment of presidential and government scholarships

Almost all students who have made their choice in favor of priority areas for the country's economy can count on presidential scholarships. As for graduate students, the number of scholarships for them is limited to 300. They are appointed annually for a period of 1 to 3 years.

Who gets these scholarships? Students who have achieved high academic performance can count on presidential supplements. Students who:

• Studying in the daytime department;

Full-time students of higher and secondary educational institutions on a budgetary basis, nominated by the teacher's council of the institution, can count on receiving government scholarships. For a secondary educational institution, this should be a 2nd year student, for a university - 3rd year. Restrictions for graduate students - from the second year.

• High-level academic performance;
• Publication in a scientific journal;
• Victory or participation in the All-Russian or international competition, festival or conference;

Scholarships

The legislation of Russia sets a lower bar for scholarships, allowing educational institutions to pay a higher amount depending on financial capabilities. The scholarship fund of any educational institution is approved with the participation of representatives of students or the student union.

In 2018, the scholarship was increased for students by 5.9%, which is 1419 rubles. in the universities of the country. The scholarship at the technical school in 2018 is 487 rubles. For 2019, this increase is planned at 4.8%, which will amount to 1487 rubles. Obviously, the minimum scholarship in Russia does not cover the minimum requirements of student life, so the desire to receive an increased scholarship is obvious. A student who passes a session without “triples” has the opportunity to receive a scholarship in the amount of about 6,000 rubles.

A session passed with an "excellent" score can be a stepping stone to even more. The average scholarship in Russia increased last year amounted to 7,000 rubles. The most successful students can receive a scholarship up to 20,000 rubles.

The minimum state scholarship for graduate and doctoral students is from 2637 rubles. Scholarship for scientific and pedagogical staff in graduate school in the specialties of technical and natural sciences - from 6330 rubles, residency - from 6717 rubles. Doctoral students receive from 10,000 rubles.

An increased postgraduate scholarship can vary from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles. To date, the State Duma is considering a bill, according to which it is supposed to increase the scholarship to the minimum wage.

Additional benefits

A student or graduate student during the period of his studies may apply for additional payments related to one or another event in life:

1. For the birth of a child. For this, a statement from the student is written in the name of the head of the institution. With the approval of the student trade union organization, a payment is made.
2. To purchase textbooks. The payment is made for graduate students annually in the amount of two scholarships. An orphan student can receive the same allowance, but in the amount of three scholarships.
3. For successful full-time education at the expense of budgetary funds.
4. Named scholarships in honor of talented people. They are paid as support for talented and successful students of children, for achievements in the field of sports, science, technology, and creativity. The amount of these scholarships may vary.
5. Academic leave for medical reasons.

Nothing prevents students from receiving several payments at the same time. So, some talented guys can receive monthly payments comparable to the average salary in the country. However, it must be remembered that the number of additional scholarships is very limited, so only the best can get them.

There are two types of scholarships in the technical school and in the college:

• Social. Its size is 730 rubles. It is paid to all students who passed the session without "tails". In addition, this category includes all weakly protected categories (orphans, disabled people, students from large or defective families, etc.);
• Academic. The amount of this scholarship is 487 rubles. It is paid to students on a budgetary basis, who pass the session without triples.

There are no limits on maximum sizes. However, in fact, most educational institutions prefer to pay the minimum amount established by the state. In some technical schools, scholarships may be increased due to regional allowances and sponsorship.

Deprivation of a scholarship

For undergraduate and graduate students, the scholarship is not established for the entire period of study, but is reviewed every semester. Reasons for deprivation of a scholarship may be:

• Systematic absenteeism;
• Academic debt at the end of the academic semester;
• According to the results of the semester, there are grades below “good”.

The transition to part-time education, as well as academic leave, are also reasons for depriving a student of a scholarship.

Do they pay a scholarship in the summer? Scholarship payments in the summer months are no different from other periods. They take place as scheduled, and their size depends solely on the student's progress.

The only important point that you should know about scholarships in the summer is that for June the scholarship is paid in the amount established by the results of the session of the first semester. This is due to the fact that only the second session takes place in June, according to the results of which the scholarship for July and August will be awarded.

The master's scholarship ceases to be paid to those students who complete their studies. The last scholarship is received for the month of June, since studies are terminated until the first of July.
