Benefits for Parents of School-going Children: Discover What's Available Before September 1st for Up to 13,000 Individuals
================================================================================
In many regions of Russia, parents of schoolchildren are set to receive various forms of financial aid in 2025. Here's a breakdown of the support measures across several regions.
In the Volgograd region, each family with a school-aged child will receive 1,000 rubles annually, while quarterly payments are made for food and transportation expenses. St. Petersburg offers annual payments of 1,289 rubles per child for low-income families, with single-parent families receiving 1,864 rubles in 2025. Large families in the Moscow region may be eligible for one-time payments of between 3,000 and 7,000 rubles, depending on income.
In the Kaliningrad region, parents raising three or more children can receive a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles and additional monthly payments. The Altai region offers up to 7,500 rubles for first-graders and up to 5,000 rubles for schoolchildren from grades 2 to 11. In the Volgograd region, large families can also receive funds for the purchase of school uniforms and stationery.
Large families in the Moscow region with children with disabilities or health limitations will receive 13,000 rubles per schoolchild in 2025. Meanwhile, in the Moscow region, low-income families and families with children with special needs may be eligible for a school clothing cost compensation.
For 2025, financial aid measures for parents of schoolchildren in Russian regions (excluding Omsk) primarily include targeted support programs for families with many children, particularly involving housing benefits and one-time payments to improve living conditions.
A significant initiative in this regard is the provision of a one-time payment of 450,000 rubles (up to 1 million rubles in some Far Eastern regions) to parents with a third child and subsequent children to help pay off mortgages or improve housing. This program, highly demanded and funded by the federal government, targets large families across multiple regions such as the Jewish Autonomous Area, Kamchatka, Primorye, Khabarovsk, Amur, Magadan, and Sakhalin territories.
The government has allocated supplementary funds (~540 million rubles) to continue supporting about 1,200 families with many children under this housing/mortgage aid measure. It's important to note that while this initiative focuses on large families and housing, other social benefits, like those linked to veterans or disability, are organized separately and tend not to prioritize parents of schoolchildren specifically outside defined vulnerable groups.
In Omsk, the Ministry of Labor has announced new support measures for families, including assistance for school supplies. However, no additional support measures for families in Omsk have been announced for 2025.
In the city of Omsk, residents can participate in the "Family Helps Family" initiative for practical assistance such as school supplies, footwear, clothing, and educational literature.

What about integrating personal-finance education-and-self-development sessions into these financial aid programs for parents in Russian regions? This could help families make informed decisions about their money and set goals for their children's future, especially in areas like savings, investments, and education costs.
Maybe offering workshops or online courses on personal-finance management would be an added benefit to these aid measures, as it could promote financial stability and personal growth for families with school-aged children.
