Academic Year 2017- 2018:

Students awarded scholarships for the academic year 2016/2017 that obtain 33 CFU
(University Credits) by 10 August 2017, will have their scholarships renewed under the same
financial conditions for the academic year 2017/2018. Such limit may vary for specific and
exceptional cases upon evaluation by the Chancellor's Delegate for the coordination of
internationalisation activities.

Payment of scholarships:

The scholarships shall be paid to their holders provided that the latter are regularly enrolled
into the first (2016/2017) or second (2017/2018) academic year of the Master's Degree Programme.

The scholarships shall be paid in a single instalment within 30 days after enrolment into the
academic year 2016/2017 or 2017/2018.

The students awarded the scholarships will be required to present their tax documentation
(this request will be detailed later on) in order to determine their "financial situation" through
calculation of their ISEE (Indicatore di Situazione Economica Equivalente - Equivalent Financial
Situation Indicator).

University enrolment fees shall be borne by the student and will be determined based on
their ISEE.

Students requiring accommodation in the University residences will be required a monthly

fee that will be established based on their ISEE and the type of room.

They will also be allowed access to the catering service based on their ISEE.

The scholarships will be subject to withholding tax and social security contributions
provided by law; the relevant expenses borne by the University will also be deducted from the
scholarships. The net amount of the scholarship is established according to the financial and
household situation of the awarded student, e.g. the minimum taxation applied currently is 8.5%,
equivalent to the IRAP (Imposta Regionale sulle Attivit Produttive - regional tax on production
activities) to be deducted from the scholarship in case of request for application of personal tax
deductions."
The total gross expenditure, including expenses borne by the University's administration, shall
be covered by the MIUR funds for internationalisation 2011 - 2020.
