Scholarship Delay & Late Certificates: Can You Still Get Funds?

Hello!

There are several important points in your situation:

1. Procedure for paying scholarships
Payment of scholarships to students studying under a target agreement is carried out on the basis of an order from the educational organization on the results of the session and the absence of academic debt. The rules for paying scholarships are regulated by the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” (Articles 36, 56), as well as local regulations of your college.

2. Reason for delay in certificate
If the reason for the delay in the certificate (confirming the absence of debt) is objective, and you were not able to provide it in a timely manner (for example, the certificate was issued only after the holidays), it is important to reflect this in your application.

3. Possibility of paying scholarships retroactively
As a rule, if, for objective reasons, confirmation of the absence of debt was received later, the educational organization has the right to accrue a scholarship for the previous month “retroactively” (that is, pay for two months at once). This is also confirmed by judicial practice: if a student did not receive a scholarship for reasons beyond his control, upon provision of supporting documents, the scholarship must be paid for the past period.

4. Your actions
I recommend doing the following:
– Officially (in writing) contact the college addressed to the director with a statement in which you describe the situation, attach supporting documents (certificate, copy of the contract, explanation of the reasons for the delay) and ask for a recalculation and payment of the scholarship for the previous month.
– In the application, indicate that you were not able to provide the certificate earlier due to reasons beyond your control.
– If the college refuses, contact the education department, attaching a copy of the application and the college’s refusal.
– As a last resort (if an oral refusal and no written response are given), send an appeal to the prosecutor’s office or Rosobrnadzor.

5. Sample application
Example wording:

> Director [название колледжа]
> From the student [ФИО, группа]
>
> Statement
>
> Due to the fact that I received a certificate of absence of academic debt only after the New Year holidays, I ask you to recalculate and pay the academic scholarship for [месяц]since all the items were submitted on time, and the delay in providing the certificate occurred due to reasons beyond my control. I am attaching a copy of the certificate to the application.
>
> Date, signature

6. Education Department
If the college refers to “the order has already been issued,” let them give an official written refusal. After this, you have the right to contact the education department with a request to understand the situation and restore your rights.

Conclusion:
Payment of the scholarship can be requested for the past month if you are not to blame for the delay in providing the certificate. The main thing is to act in writing and keep copies of all requests.

If you need help drafting an appeal or complaint, write to me and I’ll help you compose the text.

Sincerely,
Legal consultant
