Requirements

For the undergraduate degree one must have a 3-year degree diploma (Bachelor�s) and be enrolled at any university inside Italy.

Students enrolled for the academic year 2011/2012 get temporary benefits based on the requirement of their economic status. The requirements are evaluated ex-post, with reference to different courses of study, as follows:

• The total amount of the scholarship shall be payable only after obtaining 20 credits by 10 August 2012. In this case, payment will be granted (2nd instalment) only after registration of the credits necessary to the University has been verified;
• Only half of the total amount of the scholarship will be paid (1st instalment) if 20 credits are not obtained by 10 August 2012 but within 30 November 2012;
• The scholarship (1st and 2nd instalments) will be revoked if the student does not obtain the 20 credits required by 30 November 2012.

In order to participate in all competitions for Laziodisu benefits, income and asset limits in 2010 are:

ISEE* (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator): � 16.597,44 per year.

*ISEE is an indicator which measures the economic status of families in the Italian Republic. It takes into account income, assets (movable and immovable) and the characteristics of a family (number of family members and type).

In order to participate in the competitions for Laziodisu benefits the ISEE certificate must be authenticated by a CAF (Tax Assistance Centre) or by INPS (National Institute of Social Security). The ISEE must relate to income received and assets owned in 2010 by members of the family unit. Once the CAF receives the information it must, within 10 days, send it to the INPS database. Once this procedure is complete the ISEE is formally legalized.

It is important that the certificate is signed at a CAF within the final deadline of 23 September 2011. If the ISEE certificate is not in INPS� database the student will be excluded from the competition.

In case of an ISEE with a sum of income equal to zero in 2010, the student must quantify the economic means of livelihood used by the household to meet basic needs (utilities, meals, lodging, etc..) using the online application form.

Foreign students can request the ISEE in the Italian Embassies in their countries or in their country�s Embassies in Italy
