In order for a poor student to somehow survive 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 to get a good amount of money even with minimal grades in your transcript.
Method 1: social assistance
If your parents are classified as underprivileged, you can ask for social assistance. Such payments are provided by the university, city, state, and sometimes even charities.
State social scholarship
How many: 2227 rub.
How often
How fast: immediately after the certificate from the social security authorities is ready.
On a note!
You can familiarize yourself in more detail with the provisions regarding who and in what cases is entitled to this type of financial assistance here.
Some are luckier than others, and they, having only C grades in their records, are entitled to a social scholarship. Who are they?
- Disabled people,
- Orphans,
- Victims of radiation disasters,
- Veterans.
Those who belong to the low-income category can also count on a social scholarship.
To prepare all the necessary documents, you should contact the relevant MFC or social protection department. After the income is calculated and the life circumstances of a particular student are assessed, the authority will issue a corresponding certificate for the university.
A student who lives in a dormitory and does not receive any income other than an academic scholarship in the amount of 1,500 rubles can be recognized as a “low-income person living alone.” In this case, the social service will definitely ask whether the student received financial assistance from parents or other relatives and friends, and if he received it, in what amount. But somehow these data should not be confirmed by documents.
Be prepared to provide the following documents to the social security authorities:
- Passport,
- Certificate or certificate of registration in form No. 9 or No. 3,
- Certificate from the university with information about the course, form and duration of study,
- Certificate of ownership of property,
- Evidence that you have rights to benefits (death certificate of a parent, certificate of his or her serving a sentence, certificate of disability, etc.),
- Certificate of income.
Important!
The social scholarship is issued for a period of one year from the date of issue 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.
Don't worry that you don't know all the intricacies of a social scholarship. The university will definitely advise you, because university employees constantly monitor the relevance of laws, standards and regulations, and will certainly advise you on whether you have rights to 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 financial assistance from the state
Increased social scholarship
How many: equal to or greater than the increase to the subsistence level.
How often: every month for one year.
When to serve: at the beginning of the semester.
Only specialists and bachelors of initial courses (first and second) can count on such assistance, and only if they have earned a regular scholarship with their grades.
Another mandatory condition is that one of the parents belongs to the first group of disabled people.
And finally, only good and excellent students can apply for such a scholarship.
On a note!
The final amount is calculated by the university. However, it should not be higher than the student’s income up to the subsistence level per capita (this standard is established by the state). For example, in the fourth quarter of 2016 it was installed living wage of 9691 rubles. It was considered this way: if the academic and social scholarship amounted to 1485 And 2228 rubles, then if the student wins a competition for an increased scholarship, its amount will be no less 5978 RUR.
A more precise amount is determined by the university, having previously considered the student’s educational program, his course and the size of the scholarship fund.
Material aid
How many: no more than 12 social scholarships.
How often: every month for one semester.
When to serve: by decision of the university.
Here the criteria will be much broader than for the payment of social scholarships. For example, a university pays for a financial scholarship out of its own “pocket”, and pays once a quarter, and the minimum amount is not stated anywhere, so often the size of the scholarship will depend on how many students will have to be assisted in this quarter.
This type of assistance can be provided to students whose parents are divorced, students with children, or those who are seriously ill and require expensive treatment. In these cases, you will need to provide the university with copies of receipts for medications or the child’s birth certificate.
On a note!
Some universities give cash gifts to their students for weddings, and in some it is customary to pay travel home and back for out-of-town or foreign students.
Program "5+"
On a note!
How many: 3500 rub.
How often: every month for one year.
When to serve: from 10.06 to 10.09.
A student can count on this type of scholarship only if he studies without C grades, and at the same time belongs to the category of low-income people. This scholarship is issued by the Creation charity foundation. Here a selection is carried out among students over 21 years of age. The foundation loves excellent students, participants in various conferences and Olympiads, competitions, and sports competitions. Only achievements over the last two years are taken into account.
Important!
As part of this assistance, it will be necessary not only to prove the family's low income, but also to write a letter-essay telling about the student, his family, his interests, hobbies and dreams.
In addition, you will need to collect the following package of documents:
- Statement.
- A certificate of academic achievement certified by the university seal.
- Copy of the passport.
- Certificate of being under guardianship and trusteeship or other documents providing benefits (for people with disabilities, foster families, refugees, etc.).
- Certificate in form 2-NDFL on the income of all family members/certificate of family poverty.
- Extract on family composition with original stamp.
- Award certificates, certificates, medals, diplomas for the last 2 years.
- Photo.
- Motivation letter.
Method 2: participation in the sports or cultural life of the university
Universities love to compete with each other. And the best way to do this is through sports competitions or amateur performances. At the same time, the university management will not spare any money to those who support the image of the university. Therefore, play football, go to a drama club - become the dean’s favorite!
On a note!
An increased state academic scholarship can reach 10,000 rubles, and in some universities – 30,000 rubles (St. Petersburg State University, for example).
The amount of the scholarship may change each semester, depending on the number of applicants, their achievements and the size of the fund. And there are universities in which the amount of such a scholarship is fixed and does not change.
Community Service Scholarship
If you want more money, lead an active cultural life within the walls of your university. Provided that your activities are successful, the university will notice and, more importantly, celebrate your achievements.
Participate in various events of the educational institution, cover them on social networks, take part in the creation of student newspapers, etc.
If entertainment is not your thing, you can devote yourself to science. Volunteer to assist in scientific conferences. Even just handing out badges will help show you in the best light.
Important!
Before you begin active activities, check with the commission what documents will need to be provided.
Scholarship for creative activity
Creative activity is participation in public exhibitions, performances, competitions and, of course, winning them.
On a note!
Be sure to ask for certificates of participation in all events - they will be your proof of your active creative path. If there are no certificates, draw up a document in advance and ask the organizers to certify it with their seal.
Follow the news of your university - often it itself suggests what you can do to receive material or non-material rewards. For example, participating in an international competition to create a packaging design or writing an essay on a world-famous work.
Sports Achievement Scholarship
Well, everything is simple here - you need to participate and win in socially significant sports competitions. The degree of significance of the competition is determined by the university itself.
Method 3: be an excellent student and publish scientific works
Those who study “excellently” have a high chance of receiving a presidential scholarship of 20 thousand. In addition, such students are encouraged by many other organizations: the Ministry of Education, regional authorities, banks with numerous charitable foundations and, of course, the universities themselves.
On a note!
In some universities, the scholarship is increased immediately after a flawlessly passed exam.
Increased academic scholarship
There are 3 ways to get PGAS:

In general, in almost every field there are stakeholders who are willing to encourage young minds with scholarships.
To participate in the competition, it is enough to prepare the same package of documents - publications, certificates, diplomas. And since the selection here is not so strict, some only need to participate in conferences, and not necessarily win them.
Well, depending on the chosen fund, the package of documents may vary slightly - find out in advance.
Method 4: Win the business game
The business game is the path for brave and charismatic young people. Management will evaluate the ability to work in a team, as well as leadership qualities and creativity.
There are many such scholarships, but we recommend that you carefully read the program of each fund. If you are only interested in money, you can fly. For example, there are scholarships, the receipt of which only requires payment of travel to the venue of the game and back. There are also those who don’t give money, but help you get an internship.
Potanin Foundation Scholarship
Scholarship amount: about 15000r.
How are payments made?: monthly until graduation.
This foundation pays scholarships to full-time master's students. They don't look at grades.

Let's take as an example an average student living in a dormitory, receiving a scholarship of 1,500 rubles, studying with top marks, publishing in scientific journals and even received several grants for his research, is a member of the university club “What? Where? When?" and passes the GTO standards. So, look here:
It turns out that such a student will be able to receive 60,313 rubles every month. Not sour, right? But next year it will be necessary to refuse the social scholarship...
In the meantime, you are collecting evidence for the state and various funds, We We will be happy to help you keep your studies in order.
The main financial support for students entering educational institutions after school is provided by their parents or guardians. But the state has also provided financial support measures for these categories of persons.

How to get a social scholarship for a student
February 23, 2018, 15:27 March 3, 2019 13:38 
The scholarship for Russian students is 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 be torn between classes and part-time jobs.
The country must create conditions that allow one to focus on knowledge, so scholarships are a very pressing issue.
The legislative framework
The procedure for paying scholarships is regulated by Article 36 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation.”
A scholarship is a monetary payment awarded to a student in order for him to strive to master a relevant educational course. Only those students and graduate students who have chosen to study full-time can count on receiving it.
If we talk about timing, 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 scholarship 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 institution’s charter and in the manner established by the council of the higher educational institution. Agreement on 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 corresponding order submitted by the scholarship committee. Such payment stops 1 month after the order to expel the student (due to academic failure or graduation) was issued. The scholarship committee may include a member of the student union or a student representative. A student who studies with “excellent” grades, or “good” and “excellent” grades, or only “good” grades, can count on an academic scholarship.
Graduate student begins to receive a scholarship immediately after the rector has signed the enrollment order. Further payments depend on the results of the annual knowledge assessment (exams).
If a student or graduate student is very interested in educational and scientific activities and has achieved success in them, 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 pleasant moment for a student. Anyone who is admitted to a budget-funded, full-time place can count on the regular payment. If a freshman is or, then he must also be paid a social stipend.
Disqualification may occur after any unsuccessful session.
Payment amounts
Currently, scholarships of various kinds (15 types) 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 be very happy about it.
Graduate students, residents, interns and doctoral students receive a little more, but this 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 ones manage to receive about 20 thousand rubles monthly.
Minimum stipend student at a university is 1,571 rubles, at a vocational school - 856 rubles. Despite the not very modest amount, a student studying at a higher educational institution without “C” grades can receive about 6 thousand rubles. And if passing the session showed “excellent” results, then you can think about increased scholarship , the size of which in different educational institutions varies from 5,000 to 7,000 rubles. A similar payment for a graduate student ranges from 11,000 to 14,000 rubles. True, to receive such significant 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.
Increase in scholarships in 2018-2019
Last year, the Ministry of Education raised the issue of increasing scholarships for all students studying in educational institutions of the Russian Federation. During the debate, representatives of the Russian Ministry of Education planned to increase student payments in 2018 by 4.0%, which will be valid until the end of 2019.

Scholarships for the 2018-2019 academic years will increase in the following way:
