Fees, scholarships and benefits for international students

In the Italian system, a person's economic and asset situation is established using the ISEE (Indicatore della Situazione Economica Equivalente), which is calculated based on each person's income and assets.

On your economic and asset situation depends the tuition fees' amount and the possibility to obtain the scholarship, the accomodation and other benefits.

To apply for accommodation, scholarship and fee reduction, you will need to produce documentation showing the income and assets of your household, so that your financial situation can be assessed in accordance with the Italian system.

To calculate your financial situation in order to apply for the scholarship, the accomodation, the tuition fees' reduction, ecc. you must hold documentation showing the income and assets of your household.

You must upload the requested documents on the Er.go's website, the Regional Authority for Higher Education Rights.

The tuition fees are the following:
