will be able to receive payments until the age of 23 and use alternative documents to confirm their status.”, — write: unn.ua
This was reported by the Cabinet of Ministers, as UNN conveys.
Students will be able to receive a social scholarship from the state even after reaching the age of 18 up to and including 23 years old. Also, among the changes:
- if the certificate of a family member of the deceased has not yet been issued, a court decision recognizing the father or mother as missing can be used to apply for a scholarship, or an extract from the Unified Register of Persons Missing Under Special Circumstances;
- For children of combat veterans, instead of a certificate of direct participation in combat actions, if it is not possible to provide a copy of the combat veteran’s certificate, an extract from the Unified State Register of War Veterans can be used.
Reference
Previously, if the relevant status was established for a child or their parents after reaching the age of 18, the student could not claim social scholarships.
