For graduates of Russian schools, one of the most difficult periods their lives. Most of the recent schoolchildren have successfully passed the Unified State Exam, received the results and applied to the universities of the Russian Federation for specialties with which they dream of connecting their lives. While awaiting the announcement of the verdict and preparing for additional tests that are required for admission to budget places of the most popular educational institutions in the country, it's time to ask what the scholarship will be in the 2017-2018 academic year. After all, what is a student scholarship? Often the questions of actual survival and the need to look for part-time jobs depend on it. Consequently, the amount of the scholarship directly affects the quality of education and the standard of living.
In this article, you will learn:
Before proceeding to detailed analysis, it is worth clarifying what the scholarship is.
A scholarship is a financial assistance established at a certain level, which is provided to students of universities, secondary specialized educational institutions, technical schools, colleges and a number of other educational institutions, as well as cadets, graduate students and doctoral students.
The size of the scholarship, in most cases, is set by the educational institution itself, and therefore may differ significantly in different universities of the Russian Federation. Also, when choosing a place of study, it is worth knowing that the state scholarship, which will be discussed in this article, is paid exclusively to students of state educational institutions. Students of private universities, as well as those who have entered the contact form of education, are deprived of financial assistance from the state.
So, the average student of the state higher educational institution A student on a budget in Russia can count on the following types of scholarships:
- Academic- provided to full-time students studying at the expense of the budget and not having academic debt. In other words, on given view payments can be calculated by those for whom only "good" and "excellent" appear in the record. Although this is not yet the final figure and the score for the scholarship may vary in different universities as well as additional criteria to be present.
- Increased academic scholarships for students are awarded from the 2nd year, which means that those who entered the university in 2017-2018, in order to increase the amount of payments, must achieve certain high results in education or sports during the first year of study, as well as take a direct part in cultural life of the educational institution.
- Social- is paid to students in need of financial support from the state. Its size does not depend on success in training and is calculated on the basis of the documents provided, confirming the corresponding right of a citizen to government aid... Can be provided not only in monetary form, but also, for example, to pay for a hostel. The list of documents for its registration can be specified in the dean's office.
- Increased social intended for socially unprotected students during the period of study in 1 and 2 courses. Like the usual social one, such a scholarship does not depend on grades and is accrued under a single condition - the absence of academic debt.
- Personalized government and presidential scholarships- payments that students of the faculties of priority areas who demonstrate high academic achievements can count on.
Amount of scholarships in the 2017-2018 academic year
As mentioned earlier, the amount of financial payments to students of different universities in Russia may differ due to the fact that the law provides educational institutions with the opportunity to independently set the size of scholarships, regulating only the lowest level of payments. All universities enjoy these rights, establishing scholarships for students in accordance with financial capabilities.
According to the amendments to the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", three stages of increasing scholarships are planned:
| 1 | in 2017 | 5,9 % | RUB 1419 |
| 2 | in 2018 | 4,8 % | 1487 RUB |
| 3 | in 2019 | 4,5 % | 1554 RUB |
Obviously, for a normal life, it will not be enough for a student to simply do well and have no debts. It is necessary to strive to obtain the right to higher payments. For comparison, the average amount of an increased academic scholarship in the last academic year was about 7,000 rubles.
Today, the views of all students in Russia are turned to the State Duma, where a bill has been introduced justifying the increase in scholarships to the level of the minimum wage, which means raising the level of minimum payments to 7800 rubles.
Increased scholarships
The right to an increased social scholarship provided on the basis of a package of documents confirming the special status of a student. Applicants for increased social benefits include:
- orphans;
- children deprived of parental care;
- disabled people of groups 1 and 2;
- disabled people and war veterans;
- Chernobyl victims.
The accrual of an increased academic scholarship is a difficult process, since the amount of payments directly depends on the student's rating and his personal achievements. The amount of financial assistance, as well as the criteria for its applicants, each university determines independently.
If you are planning to compete for an advanced academic scholarship, it is important to know that:
- the scholarship is awarded on a competitive basis;
- only 10% of students on a regular scholarship are eligible for higher payments;
- the accrual decision is reviewed every semester.
An informational video was released for students of the Siberian Federal University on how to get an increased scholarship. Perhaps he will shed light on some of your questions.
Named government and presidential scholarships in 2017-2018

Among all the benefits that student life brings with it, the scholarship is far from the last place among them. Material reward must be provided for academic success and other activity in the affairs of a higher education institution. This contributes to the motivation of young people for further improvement in the studied sciences, volunteer and administrative activities, as well as wisely manage their first significant funds.
Often, mainly freshmen, the question arises: Is it possible to receive a scholarship while studying at a university on a contract basis? On this moment the answer to this question is unequivocal - no, you cannot receive a scholarship on a contract.
The selection for the budgetary form of education is mainly based on competitive points and the achievements of the applicant himself. Evaluating all his work done (in particular, in his studies), state takes over the payment of receipt higher education such a student. At the same time, monthly giving him an academic scholarship and for further efforts and successes.
The contractual form of training assumes that for the training of a student physical or entity
... The amount of payment for training differs depending on the university itself and the chosen specialty.
If the student proves himself well in teaching and proves his efforts with the results of the sessions passed, he will be able to apply for a transfer from the contract form of education to the budget one (subject to availability). To do this, you will need to collect several documents and certificates and take them to the dean's office.
However, training on a budgetary basis is not the only way receiving financial assistance. As you know, the scholarship is several types: academic scholarship, social scholarship, government scholarship, presidential scholarship, scholarships from legal entities or individuals.
Academic scholarship designed for students studying on a budget for academic success. Government and Presidential Scholarships are paid for special merits and achievements in the studied sciences. A social scholarship credited to a certain list of categories of students: from the number of orphans, children deprived of parental care, affected by the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, from low-income families, from the group of disabled people of I-III groups and other categories.
A social scholarship can be paid to both a student with a budgetary form of study and a student with a contract. And the receipt of an academic scholarship does not overlap the receipt of a social scholarship, since both of them have a different purpose.
To receive such a social scholarship, a student must also submit an application to the dean's office and provide a specific list of documents.
Sometimes some students try to get a social scholarship in an unfair way, because they do not want to spend energy on getting an academic one. You can, of course, find an excuse for them (material assistance is never superfluous), however, by their actions, they actually take material assistance from those who need it more, for whom receiving a scholarship can help at least a little in overcoming the difficulties of life and the blows of fate.
Therefore, each university tries to motivate its students to be serious about learning and acquiring knowledge. After all, this path leads not only to transferring to a budgetary basis of training and receiving a monthly academic scholarship, but also to the acquisition of skills that will help to cope with future problems in the professional field and in life.
Scholarships for Russian students are significantly inferior to similar payments in developed European countries.
State aid is all that a university student can count on, otherwise he will be forced to devote less time to study and to be torn between couples and part-time jobs.
The conditions must be created in the country to focus on knowledge, therefore the scholarship is a very burning issue.
The legislative framework
The procedure for the payment of scholarships is regulated by Article 36 Federal law dated December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ "On education in Russian Federation».
A scholarship is a payment given to a student to help him or her strive to complete an appropriate educational course. Only the student and graduate student who has chosen the full-time department for training can count on receiving.
If we talk about the timing, then the scholarship should be paid at least once a month.
Views
Among the main types of scholarships can be distinguished:
- academic;
- for graduate students;
- social.
Academic directly depends on academic performance and scientific works, but assigned to students in need of social support.
Scholarship fund - this is a source of payment of scholarships, the distribution of which is carried out on the basis of the charter of the institution and in accordance with the procedure, established by the council higher educational institution. Document approval cannot be carried out without the student trade union and student representatives.
In order to be appointed academic scholarship , supervisor educational institution must sign the appropriate order presented by the scholarship committee. Such payment stops after 1 month, after the order was issued on the expulsion of the student (due to academic failure or graduation). The scholarship committee may include a student union member or student representative. A student who studies with "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 has signed the order of admission. 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 can be assigned increased scholarships... To do this, he needs to write a statement at the dean's office and attach all the necessary documents to it.
Who is eligible to receive the scholarship?
The first scholarship is the most enjoyable moment for the student. Anyone who enrolled in a budgetary place in the daytime department can count on a regular payment. If the freshman is or, then he should also be paid a social stipend.
The deprivation can occur after the expiration of any unsuccessfully passed session.
Payouts
At present, scholarships of various kinds (15 titles) are paid on the territory of the Russian Federation.
The size of this monetary allowance is such that it is unlikely that the student fraternity can be very happy about it.
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 has no other source of income, then he has the opportunity to receive any additional scholarship. The most successful ones manage to receive about 20 thousand rubles a month.
Minimum scholarship a student at a university is 1571 rubles, in a vocational school - 856 rubles. Despite not a very modest amount, a student studying at a higher educational institution without "triplets" can receive about 6 thousand rubles. And if the delivery of the session showed "excellent" results, then you can think about increased scholarships , the amount of which in different educational institutions varies from 5,000 to 7,000 rubles. A similar payment for a graduate student is 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.

Educational institutions of secondary education - colleges and technical schools are very popular among applicants. Unsurprisingly, online forums are full of questions like, "What is the college scholarship?", "What's the college scholarship?" college? ”,“ What is the size of the scholarship in technical school and college? ”.
Look for answers in this material.
College scholarships are very different from college scholarships, unfortunately not in better side... Knowing what kind of scholarship college students have, you are very surprised by its availability in general. The point in paying such scanty money for by and large there is no. Students themselves often say that it would be much better if, instead of scholarships, they were given three hot meals a day and issued public transport passes. Free passes to movies, museums, exhibitions and theaters would be a great bonus.
Today it is customary to scold students for not being very interested in cultural events and the arts. It is hardly wise to complain about young people. When you take into account the college scholarship, it’s clear why college students have no time for theater.
According to federal legislation and regulations of the Ministry of Education and Science, the scholarship budget of any state educational institution is formed on the basis of the profitable activity of the educational institution, the amount of financial subsidies from the federal budget and the characteristics of the student population in each case.
In colleges of the Russian Federation, two types of scholarships are paid:
- Social. Its size in college can be 730 rubles. It is even given to students with C grade, if they do not have "tails" in the session. Mandatory assigned to all students with the status:
- orphans;
- who have lost their guardian;
- victims of radiation;
- combat veterans;
- disabled people of 1-2 groups.
The next in line to receive a social scholarship are insufficiently socially protected categories of citizens:
- minors whose parents are disabled of 1-2 groups or pensioners;
- students from large or single-parent families;
- students who already have children.
- Academic - from 487 rubles. This is a common scholarship for public sector students. To get it, you just need to pass sessions without triples. Those who study on a paid basis are not entitled to.
Restrictions maximum size scholarships are not provided for by law: colleges and technical schools themselves can set the amount of payments. However, in 
most of the colleges prefer to hand out minimal amounts and often with a delay.
Some colleges have increased scholarships through regional allowances or sponsorships. There are a number of prestigious and personal scholarships assigned to students with outstanding academic and scientific achievement. However, college students rarely get such “bonus” scholarships.
Step-by-step registration of a social scholarship
- The dean's office of the college should submit a certificate confirming your social status and the right to apply for a preferential scholarship. It is issued at the place of temporary registration or residence permit by state bodies of social protection. To obtain the document, you will need a passport and a certificate from the college confirming that you are studying there. Additionally, you may need:
- certificates from the accounting department of the secondary school and from the passport office about the composition of the family;
- originals work books non-working family members;
- certificate of income of each adult family member (social benefits, pensions or wages).
- After you provide all necessary documentation in the SZN, no later than two weeks later (usually the very next day) an authorized structural subdivision government body social protection will review your data. Then, on the basis of calculations and analysis of information, he will issue a document or refuse the right to receive a social stipend. The certificate is valid for a year.
- The final stage is the submission to the dean's office of a certificate from the social security authority and an application addressed to the director of a college or technical school with a request to appoint a scholarship based on the attached documents confirming a special social status.
