Application for financial support and Isee

The ISEE is the indicator that summarises a household’s economic and asset situation, taking into account income, assets and the size of the household. The ISEE certificate may be requested online directly from INPS or from a Tax Assistance Centre (CAF) or other competent bodies, specifying that the ISEE for subsidised benefits for the right to university study is required.

The household of the person applying for the benefits is combined with that of their parents unless both of the following conditions are met:
- residence outside the dwelling of the family of origin for at least two years prior to the date of submission of the substitute single declaration (DSU), in accommodation not owned by any member of the household;
- employment income or equivalent income declared for tax purposes, for at least two years, of no less than 9,000 euro.

The ISEE certificate is not considered:
- if it reports omissions/discrepancies flagged by INPS that have not been remedied;
- if it is not requested for subsidised benefits for the right to university study.

International students must request the equivalent ISEE, if:
 

• they are resident abroad (whether registered with AIRE or not);
• they are resident in Italy, with an annual employment income of less than 9,000 euros and with a household resident abroad

The equivalent ISEE is an official certificate that indicates the economic situation in a given year on the basis of the family status certificate, income and assets. It is advisable to start the procedure as early as possible, because several months may be needed to gather the information and documents relating to personal and family income and assets, and then have them translated and legalised. 

The calculation of the equivalent ISEE is free of charge and must be requested exclusively from the Caf affiliated with the University and Esu:
