In addition, 118 students were reimbursed for tuition costs, and 183 students received compensation for travel expenses to their place of study.

State support is provided to students representing indigenous minorities and living  in Taimyr, Evenkia, and the Turukhansky, Yeniseisky, Severo-Yeniseisky, and Bogotolsky municipal districts, who are enrolled in universities and vocational schools outside their home municipalities.

We will resume accepting applications for these payments from February 1 to April 1,” said Anton Narchuganov, head of the Agency for the Development of Northern Territories and Support of Indigenous Minorities of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
