The system for calculating tuition fees and students benefits is based on the financial situation of the student (if already financially autonomous) or of his/her household (either in or outside Italy) if the student is not economically independent.
The financial situation is expressed by one of the two following Economic Condition Indicators, according to the student’s situation:
- ISEE University value ("ISEE università"), that is to say the Equivalent Economic Condition Indicator, referred to university occurs if your permanent residence is in Italy and if your incomes and those of the your household come from Italy
- Equivalent ISEE ("ISEE parificato"), if your permanent residence is outside Italy, or if your residence is in Italy but the family you depend on lives abroad (household abroad).
On this page you can see what is Equivalent ISEE, when and how you can have it calculated.
ISEE: meaning and purposes
The “ISEE” is used to assess the Household Income (combined family members income and estate), when social benefits are requested in Italy.
In the case of university students, a more specific indicator ("ISEE università") is used for assessing access to services and benefits (e.g. reduced fees calculation, fees waiver, campus accommodation, etc.)
If you are not eligible for the calculation of “ISEE università” value (this is the case if you are either resident abroad or if you permanently live in Italy but financially dependent on a family living outside Italy (household abroad) you have to apply for ISEE equivalent value (“ISEE parificato”) in order to access to services and benefits: if you do not calculate any ISEE parificato, you will be asked to pay the highest fee amount.
You should request an ISEE equivalent (“ISEE parificato”), if you are:
- a foreign national resident abroad
- an Italian national resident abroad
- a foreign national resident in Italy and you are not financially independent.
