According to RIA Novosti, the initiative will be finalized and introduced so that the funds are included in the draft federal budget for the next year.
“The current size of scholarships is not scholarships, they are what they are, what they are not ... It is necessary to increase for those who study, have good academic performance,” the message says.
According to Nilov, the minimum amount of scholarships should be the minimum wage or the subsistence level established by the regions.
“What amount is higher, then it should be,” said the parliamentarian.
Last summer, Russian President Vladimir Putin increased the amount of scholarships for scientists for the creation of defense technologies.
