For graduates of Russian schools, one of the most difficult periods of their lives is coming to an end. Most recent schoolchildren successfully passed the Unified State Examination, received the results and applied to the universities of the Russian Federation for the specialties with which they dream to connect their lives. Awaiting the announcement of the verdict and preparing for additional tests, mandatory for enrolling in 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. What is a student scholarship? Often, questions of actual survival and the need to find part-time jobs depend on it. Consequently, the size of the scholarship directly affects the quality of education and the standard of living.

From this article you will learn:

Before proceeding to detailed analysis It is worth clarifying what a scholarship is.

A scholarship is a financial assistance established at a certain level, which is provided to students of universities, colleges, 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, you should know 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 a state higher educational institution in Russia, studying on a budget, can count on the following types of scholarships:

1. Academic- provided to students of full-time departments who are studying at the expense of the budget and do not have academic debts. In other words, on this species payments can be calculated by those who have only “good” and “excellent” in the offset. Although this is not yet the final indicator, the score for obtaining a scholarship may be different in different universities, as well as additional criteria.
2. Enhanced academic the scholarship for students is accrued 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.
3. Social- paid to students who need financial support from the state. Its size does not depend on success in education and is calculated on the basis of the submitted documents confirming the corresponding right of a citizen to state assistance. It can be provided not only in cash, but also, for example, to pay for a hostel. The list of documents for its registration can be clarified in the dean's office.
4. Increased social is intended for socially unprotected students during the period of study at the 1st and 2nd courses. Like a regular social scholarship, such a scholarship does not depend on grades and is awarded under a single condition - the absence of academic debt.
5. Named government and presidential scholarships- payments that students of faculties of priority areas who demonstrate high educational achievements can count on.

Scholarships in 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 use these rights, establishing scholarships for students in accordance with financial capabilities.

According to the amendments made to the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", three stages of increasing scholarships are planned:

1	in 2017	5,9 %	1419 rub.
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 have good academic performance and the absence of debts. It is necessary to strive to obtain the right to increased payments. For comparison, the average size of an increased academic scholarship in the last academic year was about 7,000 rubles.

Today, the views of all Russian students are turned to the State Duma, which has submitted a bill justifying the increase in scholarships to the level of the minimum wage, which means raising the bar for minimum payments to 7,800 rubles.

• disabled and combat veterans;
• Chernobyl.

The accrual of an increased academic scholarship is a complex 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;
