The Orthodox Holy Tikhonovsky Humanitarian University (PSTGU) begins to implement the program, in which children from low-income families who want to receive higher education will provide comprehensive support, Interfax-religion reports.
"In Russia, state support for large families is carried out at an insufficiently serious level. In particular, there are no programs for promoting higher education at all, while often it is almost impossible for large families to create conditions for their children entering universities, especially if this is required to leave for another city," the PSTU believes.
Within the framework of the program, the payment of increased scholarships will be made, students from large families will provide a hostel. The second component will be tutorial support. “Children will receive not only material support, but also the help of a mentor who will help them in the student environment to gain new friends, accept the rhythm of student life and fulfill all the requirements that are presented to students of the university,” says Olga Lobacheva, head of the program.
At the end of their studies, graduates will be assisted in employment. The project is implemented with the support of an agency for mortgage housing lending.
In 2012, at a meeting with the leadership of PSTGU, I expressed surprise to the payment of a hostel for students studying at the Faculty of Social Service. This absurdity has become one of the reasons for the son’s refusal to enter this university and the transition to a successful assault on Moscow State University :)
