Faculty of Philology

Financial assistance

Full-time TSU students at all levels of study may receive financial assistance from the faculty or the student trade union if they face difficult personal circumstances.

Financial assistance from the faculty:

  1. The rules for awarding financial assistance, including eligible circumstances, amounts and supporting documents, are set out in the REGULATIONS.
  2. Students studying on a fee-paying basis may receive financial assistance in an emergency if the faculty has the funds to provide it (clause 2.7.3 of the REGULATIONS)
  3. A financial assistance application form specifically for the Faculty of Philology can be downloaded using this LINK.
  4. The application deadline is set separately each month and announced in the faculty's social media group and in the Dean's Office forum in IDo.
  5. Financial assistance is NOT awarded in January, July or August.
  6. In the application you must complete ALL required sections:

TYPE THE FOLLOWING IN WORD:

  • the student's full name;
  • group number;
  • student ID number (available in your personal account; the student ID and grade book numbers are the same);
  • the number of the clause in the Regulations under which you are applying for assistance;
  • passport details (for Russian passports the issuing authority and issue date section must include the authority's code as well);

NB: If you replace your passport during your studies, you must give the new details to the Dean's Office secretaries.

  • permanent registered address, as shown in your passport;
  • actual residential address, meaning your current address in Tomsk);
  • IMPORTANT: the address must include the postal code. A dormitory address must be given in full, including the room number!
  • Taxpayer Identification Number (INN; Russian INN only. International students must obtain an INN from the relevant federal authority in Russia);
  • a list of documents supporting your application, in the format “medical treatment receipts — 5 items”, “medical services agreement — 1 item”, “birth certificate — 1 item” and so on).

Complete by hand after printing:

  • date;
  • the student's personal signature;
  • group number, the student's full name and the group representative's signature in the Group Endorsement section (postgraduate research students leave this section blank).
  • The student must NOT complete the Committee Decision section.
  1. The documents must be submitted electronically only and only as a PDF file. You can assemble the file in any PDF editor, including free online editors.

8. Rules for preparing the electronic document set:

A) Combine the documents into ONE PDF file, named using the format “ФИО-группа-матпомощь_месяц and year»; (for example, “ИвановИИ-130000-матпомощь_июнь2025”:

  • application (include your signature and the group representative's signature);
  • supporting evidence for financial assistance, such as prescriptions, receipts, certificates and endorsements, as specified in the REGULATIONS). All payments must be attributable to you (your full name must appear on the receipt or bank card statement). Agreements must have signatures. Applications relating to family members must include the required documents confirming the family relationship.

The documents accepted for each clause are listed in Appendix 3 (page 9 of the REGULATIONS).

B) Scan or photograph each document for the electronic submission

CLEARLY, LEGIBLY AND SEPARATELY

(documents must not overlap, and all your details must be clearly readable).

NB: we recommend installing a scanning app on your phone to improve document quality.

ALL pages must be oriented IN THE SAME DIRECTION (NOT upside down or sideways).

IMPORTANT:

  • everyone applying for financial assistance must, from the application deadline until the 15th of the month, regularly check their email in case there are questions about the documents.
  • If you are asked to correct or supplement an application, send the COMPLETE corrected file, rather than separate additional pages.

C) Email your application to N. E. Genina, Deputy Dean for Student Affairs, at n.e.genina@yandex.ru (the email subject must contain “матпомощь” — exactly as written, otherwise the email may be filtered incorrectly and sent to spam).

D) Incomplete or incorrectly prepared applications WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

E) Documents sent after the announced deadline WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

F) If you have questions, email N. E. Genina at the address above and include “вопрос по матпомощи»).

Financial assistance from the TSU Student Trade Union:

Members of the student trade union may receive assistance from the union. The award rules, supporting documents and application form are the same as for faculty assistance. Contact the faculty's trade union representative; see the group's contact information.
