confirmation of registration in a dormitory or residential premises according to Form 9;
receipt of payment for accommodation in the hostel and absence of debt.

If a citizen does not live in a hostel, he must provide the appropriate certificate from a passport officer.

Amount of assistance this year

The amount of assistance benefits is determined based on several factors. So, there is an indicator of a student’s category, which is within the following framework:

Place of study, degree	Amount of social scholarship, rubles
Technical schools	890
Colleges	890
Higher educational establishments, Universities	2.5 thousand
Graduate students, assistants, residents	3.1 thousand
Postgraduate students in the field of technical and natural sciences	7.7 thousand

These indicators constitute payments with indexation included. In 2019, the level of supplement for social scholarships will be 4%. Therefore, in the first academic semester, payments are less than in the second.

Advantages and disadvantages

It is necessary to understand that this type of payment has its own nuances:

No increase in this category of scholarship is expected in Russia in the near future. Therefore, the poor cannot count on privileges and will receive the same amount of assistance.

The only option to increase your income is to receive a survivor's pension. Although such a payment is available only to certain categories of citizens.
