Most Popular Question and Answer on Social Scholarships for Students Question: We are a young family, both are currently studying at one of the state universities in Moscow. We live in a family hostel of the university. I work part-time in my free time, however, there is still not enough money for a decent existence. Can we receive any additional scholarship, given that both of us have no health problems and other significant reasons that guarantee us these payments? What is the maximum amount of these scholarships? Answer: Each educational institution independently accepts decision on the amount of social scholarship to the students who submitted the application. Usually, in order to assign payments, it is enough to provide to the public protection authority, in addition to the mandatory documents, a certificate of low family income and proof of residence in a hostel. For families, it is necessary to present a marriage certificate. The amount of social scholarships is set individually for each individual university.

Students who have faced financial difficulties or are entitled to benefits can expect to receive a social scholarship. It does not replace the main scholarship, but is paid additionally. We will talk further about the procedure for obtaining and the amount of social scholarships for students in 2019, who can receive it and what needs to be done for this.

Who is eligible for a social scholarship?

The issues of payment of social stipends are governed by the following regulatory framework:

• Federal Law of December 29, 2012 N 273 "On Education in the Russian Federation";
• PP RF of December 17, 2016 N 1390 (as amended on April 21, 2018) "On the formation of the scholarship fund";
• PP RF dated 02.07.2012 N 679 "On increasing scholarships ...";
• Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2016 No. 1663 "On the approval of the appointment procedure ...".

According to the provisions of these NLA, the state social stipend is paid only to full-time students. Part-time students are not entitled to such assistance, even if their candidacy belongs to the categories indicated below.

Applicants for a social scholarship can be:

1. Orphans and those deprived of parental care. The latter include minors whose parents:
   • have been deprived of parental rights or restricted in them;
   • disappeared without a trace;
   • are serving their sentence in prison;
   • unknown;
   • incapacitated.

   Also, this category includes students for whom the court established the absence of parental care. Usually they enjoy benefits for up to 18 years, but if they enter full-time education, then the grace period is extended to 23 years.

2. Disabled people. However, not everyone with a disability will be able to apply for a social scholarship. For example, disabled persons of the 3rd group, according to the law, cannot expect to receive it. Potential recipients are:
   • disabled children, that is, persons with disabilities who are under 18;
   • disabled since childhood, that is, persons over 18 years of age who received a disability in childhood;
   • disabled persons of groups 1 and 2 - persons over 18 years of age who have passed MSEC and have received a disability of the corresponding group.

   The moment of getting the disability does not matter. You can apply for a scholarship even the next day after receiving a disability in the middle of the school year.

3. Victims from radiation at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, tests at the Semipalatinsk test site and other radiation disasters.
4. Students who have completed at least 3 years of service in the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, under the executive authorities, as well as those who have become disabled due to illness or injury received during the service.
5. Poor people. This category refers to persons whose average per capita family income is below the subsistence level. However, if it rises, the recipient of funds will have to inform the dean's office, since the basis for the payment of the scholarship will disappear.

This is a list approved at the federal level. However, for some categories of vulnerable groups of the population not included in this list, social stipends can be awarded by a decision of the authorities at the local level. In particular, such persons include disabled persons of the 2nd group, members of large families, children raised in single-parent families (there is only a mother or only a father), students caring for sick relatives or disabled people, married student couples, war veterans. It is better to check with the dean's office about who is entitled to a social scholarship in your university.

How to get a social scholarship?

The provision of this kind of assistance from the state is of a declarative nature. Even if you belong to one of the above candidates, this does not mean that the social scholarship will automatically be sent to your card or account. It is necessary to collect documents for receipt, as well as contact the competent authorities. The sequential sequence of actions is described below.

STEP 1. Visit to the social security office at the place of registration. Here they will tell you whether you meet the conditions for receiving a payment, as well as what documents are needed for a social scholarship specifically in your situation. Usually this is a certificate of family composition, income (for each family member), education and scholarship, disability (or other document confirming the basis for the appointment of a scholarship).

STEP 2. Registration of a 2-NDFL certificate at the place of work (study) or on the official website of the Federal Tax Service, in the taxpayer's personal account (you need to register in your personal account). Each family member must take this form from the place of work (order a certificate via the Internet) (pensioners - in the pension fund, unemployed - in the Employment Center). This also applies to cases where the student's parents are registered at different addresses, but not divorced.

STEP 3. Contacting the dean's office. Here you need to get 2 certificates:

• that the student is studying at this institution;
• about the scholarship for the last 3 months.

STEP 4. Obtaining a certificate of family composition. It can be obtained in several ways:

• at the MFC;
• order on the website of public services;
• at the passport office (FMS);
• in the BTI;
• in a homeowners' association (HOA).

It is valid for only 10 days, after which the document will have to be processed again. For its registration, you need a passport, house book and a title deed for housing.

STEP 5. Submission of a package of documents and an application for social protection. The collected documents must be submitted to social protection, where a certificate for receiving a social scholarship will be issued.

STEP 6. Submission of an application and certificate from social protection to the dean's office. An application for a social scholarship does not have a strictly established form, but, as a rule, in each university, students are offered a ready-made sample for writing. It looks something like this:

Rector of Moscow State University
prof. A.N. Tupichenko
2nd year student, 2nd group
Faculty of Law
budgetary form of education
Levin Ivan Sergeevich
Tel. 7-979-332-09-76

Signature

Starting from 2017, there are new rules for the procedure for the appointment of social scholarships. For several years now, the decision on whether to assign this type of assistance to a student or not has been decided by the management of an educational institution at a meeting of a special commission. Until 2017, the solution to this issue was within the competence of the social security authorities.

Also in 2018, another innovation began to operate. The scholarship allowance is issued only to those students who can confirm the fact of receiving state social assistance.

Is there an academic social scholarship?

According to the current legislation, the concepts of "academic" and "social" scholarships are separated, that is, they represent different types of material assistance to students.

Academic is the usual scholarship, which is paid to each student on the budget in case of successful closing of the session at "4" and "5". The social one is considered to be additional to the main scholarship, which is not of an incentive, but of a social nature. That is, it is paid to socially unprotected segments of the population, the categories of which are indicated above. However, their list can be expanded by the university at its own discretion, if it has the funds to sponsor additional categories.

The size of the social stipend in 2019

The amount of the scholarship is set by each institution individually, but it cannot be less than the standards established by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 17, 2016 N 1390 (as amended on April 21, 2018) "On the formation of the scholarship fund", namely:

According to the PP of the Russian Federation of 02.07.2012 N 679 "On increasing scholarships ..." study at "good" and "excellent", has an increased size - 6307 rubles.

Do students who receive state social assistance receive social scholarships?

Yes, according to Part 5 of Art. 36 of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", the scholarship is awarded to persons receiving social assistance from the state. That is, these two types of social assistance do not replace each other, but are paid simultaneously.

Social scholarship during academic leave

Even if a student takes an academician, he will continue to receive a social scholarship (as opposed to a regular scholarship!). This is discussed in clause 23 of the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2016 No. 1663. According to its provisions, the presence of a student on academic leave is not a basis for the termination of the payment (appointment) of the state social scholarship.

However, if during the academician period the basis on which the scholarship was paid disappears, the student will be deprived of it.

Example... Izmailov K.V. in the middle of the 4th year I took an academic leave of 1 year. 9 months after the leave was issued, he turned 23. And, meanwhile, accruals were made to him on the grounds that he was an orphan. This category continues to enjoy benefits while studying until the age of 23. With the achievement of the specified age threshold Izmailov K.V. stopped receiving payments while on academic leave, in connection with which he received an appropriate explanatory response from the dean's office to his official request.

Do session arrears affect the payment of social stipends?

The state social scholarship is not an incentive for the successful mastering of an educational program by a student. It acts as a measure of material support for students in an unfavorable financial situation.

The condition for awarding a scholarship is one of the grounds, an exhaustive list of which is indicated in Art. 36 Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation". There is no such item as "successful delivery of the session" or "absence of debts" in the article. Since the legislative framework and by-laws do not establish the possibility of suspending the payment of state social scholarships in the presence of arrears based on the results of the session, the deprivation of student payments will be considered illegal. Also, the university cannot prescribe such a condition in a local act.

Payment procedure

The social stipend is paid every month. Every year, the student is required to confirm the existence of grounds for obtaining it, that is, before the start of the academic year, you need to re-collect the documents and submit an application along with a certificate to the dean's office.

Payments are terminated only in case of loss of the basis for its appointment, as well as the student's expulsion from the educational institution.

If a student took an academician, maternity leave, and childcare leave, the payment of the social allowance does not stop.

According to Article 36 of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", the state social scholarship is assigned from the date of submission to the dean's office of a document confirming the appointment of state social assistance, for one year from the date of appointment of the specified state social assistance.

This means that the scholarship will be paid on the day of submission of the certificate on the appointment of the social scholarship, and it will be paid within a calendar year from the date of submission to the day on which the certificate is dated.

Example... Kolomoitsev T.G. On February 18, 2017, he brought to the dean's office a document confirming the appointment of state social assistance. The date of issue is indicated on it - January 21, 2017. Thus, the scholarship will be paid to him from 18 February 2017 to 21 January 2018.

Question answer

Question:
Can a social stipend card be seized?

The bailiffs have the right to arrest the debtor's accounts if there is an execution proceeding against him. However, the arrest can be lifted if it is proved to the bailiff that the funds received on the account are not income, but represent social benefits.

Question:
Will I lose my social stipend if I get married?

Depends on the basis on which it was assigned to you. The conclusion of a marriage does not in itself constitute a ground for the termination of the payment of the social stipend. But if you received it as the poor, then the data of each of your family members were taken into account in calculating the average per capita income. Accordingly, from the moment of marriage, you will create a new family, which means that the level of income will have to be confirmed anew. If it turns out to be higher than the subsistence level, then you will lose the social stipend.

Question:
Is it true that if I have unemployed parents, I will not be able to apply for a social scholarship?

Today there is no labor service in our state, therefore, parents should not work without fail. Another thing is that when applying for a scholarship, they will have to somehow confirm their income. Working people can take a certificate from their place of work. Non-working - help from the Employment Center. But if the parents are unemployed and are not registered with the Employment Center, then it is not possible to confirm their income. This means that the student will not be able to provide the necessary package of documents, on the basis of which he may be denied the appointment of a social scholarship.

Question:
In social security, they do not give a certificate. What to do?

If you are not given a certificate of the appointment of a social scholarship, ask for written explanations of the refusal. You are obliged to provide them. If the reasons for the refusals are motivated and in accordance with the current legislation, you will have to reconcile. In case of illegal refusal to protect your rights, you can contact the prosecutor's office or court.
