Full-time state-funded/quota students may apply for financial aid in case of:

• the birth of a child, or the death of a parent (after providing notarized translations of supporting documentation, within 6 months from the date of birth/death);
• financial difficulties, medical treatment, loss of personal property, theft and other emergency circumstances after they have provided notarized translations of documents confirming their low-income level (i.e., family income per capita must be below the subsistence minimum currently applicable in Moscow), along with documents issued by Russian authorities and agencies, specifying the grounds to support their claims in regards to emergencies taking place in the Russian Federation.

If the circumstances mentioned above arise, students should apply for financial aid, attach all necessary documents, and submit them to their Faculty's Commission on Student Affairs. Financial aid applications shall be considered at a meeting of HSE’s Commission on Student Affairs after they have been submitted to the faculty.

Full-time fee-paying students may apply for financial aid in case of the death of a parent (after providing notarized translations of supporting documentation).
