Main Ideas and Concepts
-
Current State of Student Scholarships in Russia
- Standard government stipends are low (around 2,000 to 5,000 rubles per month), insufficient for living expenses.
- Historically, stipends were higher, allowing for a better lifestyle, but now this is no longer the case.
-
Types of Government Scholarships
- State Academic Scholarship: For students with good/excellent grades who do not retake exams except for valid reasons.
- State Social Scholarship: For students from certain social categories (e.g., Chernobyl disaster victims, disabled students, orphans, children from single-parent families).
- Enhanced State Academic Scholarship: Awarded based on achievements in academics, sports, volunteering, or social projects. Requires participation in a competition held by the university.
- Enhanced State Social Scholarship: For students in social categories meeting additional criteria.
-
Additional University Financial Support
- Some universities provide extra funds through student committees or trade unions.
- Example: Moscow State University’s “BDNS” (database of students in need) offers additional monthly support.
-
Presidential and Government Grants and Scholarships
- More bureaucratic to obtain; applications often required before university admission.
- Applicants must be registered as gifted students, often through winning competitions like the All-Russian School Olympiad.
- Amounts range from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles monthly.
- Regional and city scholarships exist (e.g., Moscow government scholarships).
- Separate government scholarships also available for college students.
-
Named Scholarships
- Scholarships named after prominent figures, often tied to specific fields of study (e.g., Zhirinovsky scholarship for Oriental Studies).
- Easier to obtain due to limited competition within specific specialties.
- Available both nationally and regionally.
-
Combining Scholarships
- Students can receive multiple scholarships simultaneously (state academic, enhanced, named, presidential, etc.).
- Combining scholarships can significantly increase total monthly financial support.
- Scholarships are not taxed.
-
Commercial (Corporate) Scholarships and Grants
- Offered by companies like Alfa Bank and Sberbank, often updated annually.
- Typically involve monthly payments (15,000–30,000 rubles) or one-time grants for projects.
- Universities usually partner with companies to provide information.
- Commercial scholarships can be for academic excellence or targeted projects.
-
Non-Profit Foundations Scholarships and Grants
- Funded by government organizations or wealthy individuals.
- Example: Potanin Foundation scholarship (30,000 rubles) for master’s students at partner universities.
- Some foundations offer scholarships to foreign students (e.g., Gorchakov Fund).
-
Grants for Implementation of Initiatives
- Targeted funding to develop and test student projects or ideas (e.g., new technology for plastic recycling).
- Grants require detailed proposals and budgets.
- Funds must be used within a set period (usually about a year).
- Organizations like Rosmolodezh provide such grants, ranging from tens of thousands to millions of rubles.
- Grants help students develop professional skills beyond academics, involving project management, teamwork, marketing, and leadership.
- Suitable for students of any year or college students.
-
General Advice and Closing Remarks
