FOREIGN STUDENTS AND ITALIAN STUDENTS LIVING ABROAD

Foreign students, Italian students living abroad, displaced students, political refugees and

students asking for political asylum enrolled on or who intend to enrol on the courses detailed

in article 3 may take part in the competition to obtain benefits.

Foreign students who live with their families in Italy, without income and/or assets abroad, are

considered equivalent to Italian students for all purposes, and therefore also for the

purposes of determining their financial status. They must therefore obtain the ISEE Certificate

by submitting the Self-Declaration to a tax assistance office (CAF).

As well as having to fill in the online application, the other foreign students must prove that

they meet the financial and household requirements set forth in article 7, by means of the

following documents to be attached to the paper form of the application:

A) Students from the European Union

Self-Declaration, filled in by the student on the dedicated form, concerning the gross income

earned abroad in 2014 by each member of the household, any buildings owned abroad by each

of the members as of 31/12/2014, specifying their surface area, as well as the personal assets

available abroad at the same date.

Any rent charges borne for the house of residence of the household shall also be declared.

B) Non-European Union Students

Specific documents issued by the competent Authorities of the Country where the income was

generated, where the buildings are owned and the assets are available, legalised by the Italian

Diplomatic Authorities competent for the area and accompanied by a translation in Italian

certified by the same Authorities.

Legalisation may be performed through issuance of an apostille for Countries signatory to the

Hague Convention of 5 October 1961.

For those Countries where it is particularly difficult to obtain a certificate issued by the local

Italian Embassy, a Certificate may be exhibited issued by the diplomatic or consular

representative in Italy of the Country where the income was generated and the assets are

owned, drafted in Italian and legalised by the Prefectural Offices pursuant to article 33,

paragraph 4 of Presidential Decree no. 445 of 28 December 2000.

The consular certificate must make express reference to the documents coming from the

Country of origin.

This document must show:

1. the make-up of the stipulated household;

2.gross income earned abroad in 2014 by each member of the household, any buildings

owned by each of them abroad as of 31/12/2014, specifying their surface area as well as

the personal assets available abroad at the same date;

3. any rent charges borne for the house of residence of the household.

NOTE:No form of Self-Declaration may therefore be accepted – self-certification, affidavit, sworn declaration.

C) Non-European Union students from the developing Countries set forth in Ministry of

Education, Universities and Research Decree no. 594 of 1 August 2014

Certification by the Italian Representative in the Country of origin or by the diplomatic or

consular representative in Italy of the Country that certifies that the student does not belong

to a known high-income or upper class family; for the purposes of quantifying the amount of

the ISEEP and ISPEP indicators, the value of both indicators is indicated as €0 in this

certificate.

This certificate may also be issued by Italian Organisations licensed to loan securities for

financial coverage pursuant to the current provisions concerning the registration of foreign

students in Italian Universities; if this is the case, the Organisation issuing said certificate

undertakes to return the scholarship on behalf of the student in case of revocation.

D) Stateless students or political refugees

The parties concerned must prove this “status” using the official documentation issued to them

by the Civil Court, for stateless students, and by the specific Commission established by the

Ministry of the Interior, for political refugees.

These students are exempt from submitting declarations issued by Embassies and Consular

Offices. Only income and any assets which may be owned in Italy will be taken into

consideration when assessing the financial status.

E) Students asking political asylum

The students who asking political asylum may apply for granting of the scholarship with the

same way of political refugees; however the grant of the scholarship shall remain suspended

till it shall be granted the status of refugee. Once the status of refugee shall be granted, the

student obtains the right to receive the scholarship amounts and may use the services

connected thereto (use of the canteen and place in accommodation). There shall be no

reimbursement for meals not eaten or for failure to benefit from the Accommodation Services

during the period of suspension of the scholarship.

Italian students who are resident abroad and who intend to take apply for the scholarship

and place in accommodation must attach the abovementioned documentation concerning their

Country of residence to the paper copy of the online application.

the Euro for 2014 as stated by a specific next-approval act of the Director of Revenue. If at the

annual rate is not available, shall be applied the act of the Director of Revenue of 14/01/2015

related to the mean exchange rate for december 2014. Buildings owned abroad shall be

understood as being assessed at €500.00 per square metre.
