Students are a social stratum that needs support. Financial assistance from parents and scholarships do not always provide the opportunity to provide oneself with the necessities. In addition, not every student has such sources of income.
Even under the best circumstances, there may not be enough funds for basic things, so benefits for full-time students are of particular relevance.
Benefits for students
Benefits are special preferences for a limited group of people united by some characteristic.
Student benefits are basically discounts on travel, housing and the like.
In most cases, benefits for students are in the category of general benefits, but the benefits provided by the benefits are aimed specifically at the student audience. What does it mean?
For example, especially for students, the city administration or city transport department may introduce a special route to educational buildings from student dormitories. Any citizen can use public transport along this route. However, this route was introduced for the convenience of students.
The basic rights, responsibilities and benefits of students are enshrined in the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” dated December 29, 2012. In 2019, the state provides students with the following social guarantees and benefits:
- The choice of educational organization, form of education, determination of the educational plan, choice of elective and additional subjects;
- For a social scholarship;
- To provide conditions for training;
- Respect for human dignity, protection from all forms of physical and mental violence, personal insult, protection of life and health;
- To freedom of conscience, information, free expression of one’s own views and beliefs;
- For vacations, academic leave, transfer to another educational organization, reinstatement in an educational organization, combining education with work;
- To participate in the management of an educational organization, familiarize itself with its certificates, charter, license and other documents;
- For free use of library and information resources, educational, production, scientific base of an educational organization;
- For the use of medical and health infrastructure, cultural objects and sports facilities of an educational organization;
- To develop their creative abilities and interests, participate in competitions, olympiads, exhibitions, shows, physical education events, sports events, including official sports competitions, and other public events;
- To participate in research, scientific and technical, experimental and innovative activities carried out by an educational organization;
- For training and research, internships and academic exchange, including to foreign educational organizations;
- To publish your works in publications of an educational organization free of charge;
- To be rewarded for success;
- To receive information from an educational organization about the employment situation of the population of the Russian Federation;
- For the provision of a hostel;
- For a deferment from conscription for military service in accordance with the established procedure;
- On the way.
Other academic rights and freedoms may be contained in the federal legislation of the Russian Federation, regional legislation, and local regulations.
Additional support measures are also provided for orphans and persons belonging to other categories of beneficiaries.
Let's take a closer look at transport benefits.
This benefit is regulated and provided by regional legislation. Accordingly, the procedure and conditions for its provision are also regulated by the regions. In most constituent entities of the Russian Federation, full-time students on contract and budget training options are given the right to travel by rail with a 50% discount on the standard ticket price.
This benefit applies to travel on intercity trains and travel on electric trains from September 1 to June 15. In the Pskov region, for example, such a benefit is valid until June 30. In the Moscow region, travel benefits are provided to all students, regardless of the university and region they study at. But in Crimea, travel benefits will apply only to students of Crimean universities. In the Tver and Novgorod regions, the benefit for students does not apply to all directions of travel. A travel ticket is issued on the basis of a student card on the day of the trip. It is possible to apply for preferential travel on a social card, for example in Moscow, or to obtain a preferential travel subscription.
Full-time students are temporarily exempt from military service. The deferment of conscription is valid for the entire duration of full-time study. In addition, it continues to apply when entering graduate school.
Persons with academic degrees are not subject to conscription.
Thus, successful completion of graduate school and the mandatory defense of a candidate's dissertation exempts males from mandatory conscription.
In 2019, students studying under a contract have access to tax deductions in the amount of 13% of the amount of tuition fees, while the amount of the deduction cannot exceed 13% of the maximum payment amount - 120,000 rubles. Thus, the maximum you can return is 15,600 rubles (120,000 * 13%).
Please note that in order to withhold, you need to contact the Tax Service. And to receive the deduction, the student must be officially employed and pay income tax.
What documents will you need when contacting the service?
- Completed declaration application (the form is issued at the Tax Service office);
- A copy of the agreement with the university;
- Documents confirming expenses;
- A certificate confirming payment of income tax (2-NDFL).
Full-time students receive a scholarship. This provision is enshrined in Art. 36 of the Federal Law “On Education”, which also indicates the categories of students to whom the scholarship is awarded. There are state academic and social scholarships. The first is assigned to all students studying full-time at the expense of budget funds. A social scholarship is assigned to a strictly defined category of persons specified in paragraph 5 of Article 36. The minimum scholarship amount for university students is 1,484 rubles, and for secondary vocational students - 539 rubles.
In addition to the scholarships mentioned above, the following are awarded:
- state scholarships for graduate students, residents, and assistant trainees;
- scholarships of the President of the Russian Federation and scholarships of the Government of the Russian Federation;
- personalized scholarships;
- scholarships for students awarded by legal entities or individuals, including those who sent them to study;
- scholarships for students of preparatory departments.
Regions and educational institutions can also set their own scholarships.
Students can apply for accommodation in a dormitory; this right is granted to them by the Federal Law “On Education”. But the procedure for provision is established by each educational institution separately, in addition, not all of them have a housing fund for students on their balance sheet.
Students are given free access to all municipal and state museums and libraries. In addition, some private institutions may provide students with discounts on services. For example, discounts in shopping centers, shops or cafes.
Benefits for working students
Students who work have the right to officially go on vacation three times during the year in order to take the exam and prepare for it. The leave is issued at the request of the educational institution, which sends a certificate of summons to the student’s place of work.
Students in their final years are given additional leave to write their thesis.
Important! All leaves are provided to the student with preservation of income, i.e. the employer is obliged to pay the student while he is studying and cannot attend work.
Evening students are not entitled to paid leave to prepare for the session and take exams. The university can accommodate the student halfway and provide him with the opportunity to take the exam during the period when he is free from work. Sometimes training according to an individual plan is allowed.
Study leave is provided only at the main place of work; it can be added to annual paid leave.

Benefits for student parents
Students who become parents have a number of discounts on housing and household services, provided that the family is low-income. They can study according to an individual plan and take exams at a time convenient for them.
Another significant benefit for parents is the opportunity to take care of the child.
Thus, the law creates a number of special conditions for student parents in order to alleviate their situation and enable them to complete their education.
Financial benefits
An educational loan is not issued to the student in person, but is transferred to the account of the educational institution in tranches (for each semester). Favorable conditions are offered by Gazprombank and Post Bank.
Benefits in the regions
Regional authorities are developing their own programs to support students. For example, in Moscow, university students are issued a student social card. It gives you the right to discounted travel on public transport, trains, trains and planes. With its help, you can pay in stores, receiving additional discounts, and also take out loans on favorable terms.
In St. Petersburg, school and student discounts are available in many private clinics and dental offices. Most travel agencies offer special educational excursion programs for school and university students at reduced prices.
The authorities of the city of Ufa do not have sufficient funds to organize additional benefits for students of schools and universities. However, the Ufa administration managed to develop a project to promote the employment of students during the summer holidays. Thus, schoolchildren and students can earn the money they need legally.
There are several suburban routes in Novosibirsk that provide discounted travel for school and university students. The discount applies to holders of special cards issued by educational institutions.
Starting from 2019, all Ugra students from among the small indigenous peoples of the North studying at universities and technical schools will be able to receive compensation for training costs in the amount of up to 100,000 rubles. Previously, only students from low-income families could take advantage of this right.
Benefits for orphans
The legislation provides a slightly more extensive list of benefits for such a vulnerable segment of society as orphans. These include:
- the right to study at preparatory departments of educational institutions at universities at the expense of budgetary funds;
- the right to receive full-time education at the expense of the budget. At the same time, they are fully supported by the state until the completion of their educational programs, regardless of their age, an annual allowance for the purchase of educational literature and writing materials;
- annual allowance for the purchase of educational literature and writing materials;
- graduates of organizations for orphans and children left without parental care during the holidays, on weekends and holidays can be enrolled in this organization for free food and accommodation for the period of their stay there;
- provision, at the expense of federal budget funds, of a free set of clothing, shoes and soft equipment, or replacement, if desired, with a cash payment to an insured account in a banking organization;
- for the entire period of academic leave for medical reasons, maternity leave, parental leave until the child reaches the age of three years, the student retains full state support and is paid a state social scholarship;
- providing free travel on city and suburban transport, in rural areas on intra-district transport (except taxis), as well as free travel once a year to the place of residence and back to the place of study.
The above security measures apply in the following cases:
- full-time training in basic professional educational programs in federal and regional state educational organizations;
- orphans;
- children left without parental care;
- children who lost both or only parents during their education.
Regional authorities can also establish measures to provide for orphans by allocating funds from the budget of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation. To obtain information about regional support measures, you should contact the educational organization at the place of study or the local administration.

In some cases, adulthood occurs even earlier.

But this, fortunately, is not your case.
The answer to your question is no, they are not allowed.[u]

Child support from the father ended in June 2019, the upcoming education is expensive, the father refused to help voluntarily, I want to apply for child support while the child is studying at the institute (4 years). Tell me, are there any chances of a decision in our favor? What documents will be needed?
9.1. Hello! Parents are not obliged to support children who have reached the age of majority, except in cases of their incapacity for work under Art. 85 RF IC.
From Article 85 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation it follows that parents are obliged to support adult children under two conditions, namely:
Disability (disabled people 1, 2, in some cases, group 3);
- need for help (lack of the ability of an adult to independently provide for his or her existence).
Adult children studying full-time in an educational institution until the age of 23 cannot be recognized as disabled.
9.2. Good afternoon Parents are obliged to support their minor children (clause 1 of Article 80 of the RF IC). The basis for extending the period of payment of alimony can only be the incapacity for work of adult children who are disabled people of groups I, II and III.
The bill proposing amendments to family legislation regarding the maintenance of students was not approved. At the moment, university students can only count on voluntary financial assistance from their parents.

11.1. Hello, Elena!
Alas, upon reaching adulthood (if the child is not disabled), the obligations to support the child (pay alimony for maintenance) are removed from the parents, including if the child continues education (Article 120 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation).

Every spring, the topic of tax deductions for educational expenses becomes very relevant for students studying at universities on a paid basis. At the same time, there are students and their parents who still do not know about these benefits.
To begin with, it is immediately worth noting that a social tax deduction for educational expenses can be received by the student or his parents if he can confirm the amount of his income. To do this, you will need Income Certificates in Form 2-NDFL. This document can be obtained from tax agents (organizations where you received income), and it will be necessary for declaring income. If you cannot document the income received, then you will not be able to take advantage of the tax deduction for training expenses.
As you know, the cost of quality education is quite high and eats up a significant part of the family budget. Social tax deduction allows you to reduce the cost of training by 13% by returning personal income tax paid to the budget. As we can see, the state considers education for the population to be one of the strategic directions, along with healthcare services and improving the living conditions of the country’s citizens. Including tuition costs in the list of expenses falling under social tax deductions provides a real opportunity to save money for conscientious taxpayers.
Individuals who have paid for:
- own training of any form of education (day, evening, correspondence, etc.);
- full-time education for your ward under the age of 18;
- full-time education of former wards under the age of 24;
- full-time education of your brother or sister under the age of 24.
Thus, parents or persons paying for the student’s education (which is confirmed by the training agreement and payment documents) have the right to a social tax deduction only if the education is obtained in a full-time department of the educational institution, and the student’s age does not exceed 24 years. However, if a student works, pays for his own education (which is also confirmed by a training agreement), and is a tax resident of the Russian Federation, then he may well be eligible for reimbursement of tuition costs, regardless of the form of education.
The maximum amount of expenses for educating children taken into account when calculating social deductions is 50 thousand rubles per year.
The maximum amount of expenses for one's own education, in combination with other taxpayer expenses that fall under social tax benefits (payment for one's own treatment or treatment of family members) is 120 thousand rubles per year.
An important point that every student or his parents should know is that a social tax deduction for educational expenses is provided only if the educational institution has a valid license for educational activities. A social tax deduction can be obtained when studying not only at a state and municipal university, but also at a non-state educational institution.
The procedure for providing a social tax deduction for training expenses is established in clause 2 of Art. 219 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, which states that in order to receive benefits, a student or his representative (parents) is required to submit a tax return in form 3-NDFL to the tax authorities at the place of registration. Form 3 Personal Income Tax, a sample of filling out, can be obtained and reviewed at the tax office, but it is much more convenient to use specialized services on the Internet, with which you can quickly, and most importantly, correctly, fill out Form 3-NDFL.
The university admissions campaign is in full swing. And although the results will be known no earlier than in a week and a half, many parents are already calculating their finances and thinking about how to pay for education if their child does not pass the competition for the budget department. How to get a discount on tuition fees, where to get a loan - these questions are among the most discussed among parents of applicants today.
Five years of tuition on a paid basis costs 15-20 million rubles, however, the number of paying students increases every year. Applicants who did not pass the competition for budget, are ready to shell out a lot of money just to get the coveted diploma. The recent increase does not bother them either. cost training at leading universities in the country. In particular, first-year students of the Belarusian State University, Belarusian State medical University, Belarusian State economic University, Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics, Belarusian State Pedagogical University named after. M. Tank will be paid in the new educational year more than freshmen last year.
The highest tuition fees are, as always, at a medical university. First-year students of the Belarusian State Medical University specializing in General Medicine and Pediatrics will have to pay 5 million 340 thousand for the year, future dentists - 6 million 540 thousand instead of last year's 4 million 980 thousand and 6 million rubles, respectively.
He also increased tuition fees for BSUIR. If last year it was in the range of 3 million 200 thousand rubles - 3 million 800 thousand rubles, then this year the prices will be 3 million 800 thousand - 4 million 300 thousand.
The Belarusian State University remains one of the most popular higher educational institutions. At this university, the most expensive education is at the Faculty of International Relations - regardless of the specialty, more than 4.7 million rubles. You will have to pay no less for training in such specialties as “Information and Communication (direction - communication technologies)”, “International Journalism” of the Institute of Journalism.
For a discount - to the university
We are used to the fact that you can get discounts in stores and boutiques, but they are also available for tuition fees. The head of the department for organizing paid education at the Belarusian State University, Inessa Skoromnaya, said that students falling under preferential categories (and these are orphans, students from low-income and large families, children of military personnel who died or became disabled while performing military duties, disabled people of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd group) may qualify for a 40% reduction in tuition fees. However, there is one significant caveat. Discounts are provided to these categories of students if they have grades of at least 6 points in all subjects. Last year there were 85 such students at the Belarusian State University.
But what should payers who do not have benefits do? It turns out that they can also qualify for a discount. Its size depends on the average score of the exams for the previous academic year. So, if young people score on average more than 9 points, you can count on a maximum, 60 percent, discount, from 8 to 9 - payment will decrease by 40 percent. And payers who have from 7.46 to 8.25 points in their piggy bank are entitled to a 20% reduction in cost. According to Inessa Skoromnaya, there are cases when paying students are transferred to the budget by the fourth or fifth year. But, judging by my experience as a journalism student, I can say that getting at least a 20 percent discount is not so easy. With an average score at the end of two sessions of 8.7, the dean refused to give me even a minimal discount, explaining that in order to reduce the payment, in addition to a high average score in the record book, I must have half the grades nine and ten.
Education on credit
If you can’t get a discount, and paying for tuition puts a big strain on the family budget, you can use a bank loan. About 15 thousand citizens of Belarus paid for their first higher education in this way last academic year. And this year, given the rise in tuition fees in many specialties, there will most likely be even more such applicants. Could loans be a good solution for everyone who cannot pay for education themselves?
Today, almost all banks are ready to issue loans for consumer needs for an average period of one to five years. However, the rates bite - on average 24-27 percent per annum. Under such conditions, you would have to pay a tidy sum every month, sometimes exceeding your monthly salary. It turns out that loans for consumer needs are unlikely to become a saving grace for everyone.
In the country, only two banks issue special loans for education with reduced interest rates: Belagroprombank and Belarusbank.
At Belarusbank they can offer you money at 20, 15 or even 7 percent per annum. Upon receipt of the first education, a loan in Belarusian rubles is provided with payment of 15 percent per annum for the actual time of using the loan, and for the second and subsequent ones - 20 percent per annum.
Only full-time students (or their parents) can count on the most preferential conditions (7 percent per annum), and, we repeat, this is higher education should be the first. Another important condition: the average total income per family member per month for the previous year should not exceed 350 percent (currently about 870 thousand rubles) of the approved budget of the subsistence level on average per capita.
Of course, even 15 percent per annum, taking into account the current level of inflation, is very profitable. Inessa Skoromnaya said that today almost 500 BSU students use the preferential lending services of Belarusbank. However, according to the expert, not everything is so simple in using bank money. Yes, you begin to repay the main loan debt only after graduating from university. But interest payments must be made while studying. For example, if the cost of training for a year is 3 million rubles, then in the fifth year you will have to pay about 60 thousand monthly. True, compared to the money you receive from the bank, this expenses will seem like a mere trifle.
Another important nuance: the loan will be issued only for 70 percent of the cost of training. For example, from
3 million will allocate only 2.1 million. The remaining 900 thousand will have to be paid out of your own pocket. But this amount is not large for those who want to have a prestigious diploma.
It should also be taken into account that the procedure for obtaining loan will have to be done every year. This is explained by the fact that it can change price training. For such an annual registration In addition to time, you will also have to spend money. For example, the fee for drawing up a guarantee agreement is now 30 thousand rubles.
Ends on August 6th introductory campaign in second stream universities. By this day, the fate of each applicant will be determined. Undoubtedly, budget Not everyone will get a place. But even training paid basis may be acceptable for family budget, if you study diligently and earn discounts or take out a special loan.

For example, students can enter the Tretyakov Gallery for free on the first and second Sunday of every month, and the Hermitage with a student card can be freely entered on any day. Many cinemas, bookstores, and fitness clubs also have favorable offers for students. Ask about them before making a purchase or using a service. Apple hardware and software The Apple store offers discounts for students when purchasing computers and tablets. The company also distributes a student selection of five programs: Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro X, Motion, Compressor and MainStage at a discounted price of 13,990 rubles.

- Once a year, the employer must pay the expenses of working part-time students for travel to and from the educational institution, if it is located in another locality. The condition is the presence of a document confirming successful studies. The employer provides the following leave durations:

Benefits for part-time and evening students in 2018
In addition, the student is required to write a statement, which must be signed by the supervisor or authorized person. The schedule of training and passing the main exams and tests drawn up and signed at the educational institution is the basis document for receiving the benefits due.
The employer does not have the right to ignore this document, since it confirms the employee’s need to temporarily leave his position. The Education Law implies that a working student studying part-time or part-time cannot miss a session or take required tests and exams without a valid reason.
However, work is not this reason. Which students receive benefits The legislation does not provide benefits to all students.
Freebies for students: what discounts and benefits are available to students
Additional preferences:
- nonresident students, if necessary, are provided with a hostel with preferential stay and payment of utilities (must be less than 5% of scholarship payments);
- most public cultural and entertainment events, exhibitions, trips to the museum or theater are available to students free of charge or at a significant discount;
- some insurance organizations provide students with VHI discounts;

- You can study at two faculties or at two universities at once.
Discounted seats for students
- For working students, study leave may be granted during the session for a period of 40 days when studying in the first and second courses and 50 days in subsequent courses.
Thus, only those persons who are receiving higher education for the first time, as well as those who were sent for training by the employer themselves, regardless of the presence of another diploma, can exercise their right to privileges. In addition, only those citizens who study at Russian universities that have state accreditation can receive benefits.
If training takes place in a branch of a foreign educational institution, then the right to privileges remains at the discretion of the employer. General rights Regardless of the form of training, students have the right to complete the session early if they are from out of town.
Working evening and part-time students can additionally exercise their right to travel to the place of study at the expense of the employer.
That is why the bulk of the benefits fall on labor aspects.
