Application for concessions and Isee

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 can be requested online directly from INPS, from a Centro di Assistenza Fiscale (CAF), or from other competent bodies, specifying that an Isee for subsidised benefits for the right to university education 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 family home, for at least two years as of the date of submission of the single substitute declaration (Dsu), in accommodation not owned by a member of the household;
- declared income from employment or equivalent income for tax purposes, for at least two years, of no less than 9,000 euros.

The Isee certificate is not taken into consideration:
- if it shows omissions/discrepancies reported by INPS that have not been rectified;
- if it has not been requested for subsidised benefits for the right to university education.

International students must request the equivalent ISEE, if they:
 

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

The equivalent ISEE is an official certificate indicating 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:
