During one calendar half-year, a student in need has the right to apply for the appointment of only one payment to him on one of the grounds specified in the categories of students eligible for financial help.

The choice of the criterion according to which a payment is assigned to a needy student in this calendar half-year, which simultaneously belongs to several the categories of students eligible for financial help, is carried out by the student himself or by the Scholarship Commission. In the latter case, if different sizes of Scholarships are provided for different categories to which the student in need belongs at the same time, the Scholarship Commission chooses the criterion for assigning payments that provides for the largest amount of payment.

The basic amount of financial help is 4,000 rubles. 

The decision for every student is made individually after consideration by the Scholarship Committee. 

The financial help is transferred to the Bank St. Petersburg card issued to every student during their first year.
