In the Kostroma region for students with children introduced additional support measures
In the Kostroma region for students with children introduced additional support measures. Since September 1, at the birth of a child, university students receive a lump sum payment in the amount of 300 thousand rubles. For college students, another form of assistance is provided - 25 thousand rubles once a quarter throughout the entire period of study.
The new measures are implemented within the framework of the Kostroma Family project, which the region implements together with the Future Now Charitable Foundation. The program was discussed at a round table at Kostroma State University.
Assistance is provided not only in the form of cash payments. This year, with the support of the Foundation, it is planned to repair two apartments in the dormitory No. 3 of KSU in order to improve the living conditions of student families.
In addition, in the near future will start working club for pregnant women “Waiting for a miracle”. Young mothers under the age of 23 who study in universities and colleges will be able to receive advice from psychologists, pediatricians and other specialists. Classes will be held weekly for three months. Participants will be told about child care, available support measures and ways to maintain psychological health.
Now in Kostroma State University there are about 100 student families. In 30 of them, both spouses continue their studies. In total, 17 children are raised in these families.
