The answer of Acting for Head of Admission Directorate Alexandr V. Babich:
International applicants can be admitted to SPbU both to places on a fee-paying (contractual) basis and to places funded by the Russian Government (Scholarship includes tuition fee and academic scholarship).
Admission information for the coming academic year about places funded by the Russian Government is published at the web-site of the University .
