If you have income or assets abroad (*), for the calculation of your university fees you must request the document known as the ISEEU parificato from the affiliated CAF, which will send it directly to the Politecnico di Milano. You do not need to submit anything to the Student Registrar’s Office or register the information through the Online Services.
(*) income and/or assets (real estate and movable property), belonging to you and/or your household, declared and/or owned abroad or abroad and in Italy
The ISEEU parificato is not valid for applying for partial or total exemption (Law 232/2016 and subsequent amendments).
1. Prepare the documents to be attached to the application
- details of household abroad (at the time of submitting the application)
- income for the second year preceding the request for each member of the household (if one or more members aged 18 or over received no income, a declaration to that effect must be submitted)
- documents relating to buildings and land owned by the household as at 31 December of the second year preceding the request, indicating the size in square meters, issued by the relevant public authority (if no building is owned, a certificate must be produced certifying as such for each family member aged 18 or over)
- movable assets owned by the household as at 31 December of the second year preceding the request, indicating any securities, dividends, shareholdings, fractions of net assets of any companies owned)
Note: the availability of income and assets in Italy, their amount too, must be declared. Please note that without the student minimum income received in Italy or abroad, which is required by the ISEE regulations for independent status, the student must refer to their family’s income and assets. If these are abroad, the student must submit the EQUIVALENT ISEE.
The documents for ISEEU calculation must be issued by the competent authorities of the country in which the income was earned; and legalized by Italian diplomatic and consular representations abroad. They must be accompanied by an official translation into Italian certified by the competent diplomatic or consular representation or by an official translator.

Students with income and assets (movable and immovable) declared and/or owned abroad or in Italy and abroad by them and/or by their family, enrolled in the first year of Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) and in Laurea Magistrale (euivalent to Master of Science), including students who enroll in the second semester, who have been granted student bursaries for the right to education in A.Y. 2026/2027 and who intend to request the determination of the all-inclusive contribution and regional tax according to their financial situation must contact the designated CAF to obtain the ISEEU parificato indicator. The ISEEU parificato will be transmitted by the CAF to Politecnico di Milano.
Students who are not required to obtain an ISEEU parificato for the second instalment
Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) students with non-EU citizenship, holding a residence permit for study purposes and a first-level qualification obtained abroad:
- who have been awarded a scholarship from Politecnico di Milano or other institutions (for example, Italian Government scholarship holders), other than the scholarship awarded on the basis of merit and income under the University Financial Aid - Diritto allo Studio, are exempt only from payment of the all-inclusive contribution for the years in which they benefit from the scholarship.
If they enrol for one additional academic year, having benefited from the scholarship for the two years provided for, they are exempt only from payment of the all-inclusive contribution, solely for this additional year. For any subsequent additional years of enrolment, they are automatically placed in the highest contribution bracket. - who have not been awarded a scholarship from Politecnico di Milano or other institutions, or a scholarship awarded on the basis of merit and income under the University Financial Aid - Diritto allo Studio, are required to pay the full all-inclusive contribution.
- who lose the scholarship from Politecnico di Milano or other institutions, other than the scholarship awarded on the basis of merit and income under the University Financial Aid - Diritto allo Studio, after the first year in which it was awarded, are placed in the highest contribution bracket for all subsequent years of enrolment.
- who benefit from the scholarship awarded on the basis of merit and income under the University Financial Aid - Diritto allo Studio and are unable to confirm the scholarship, thereby losing the exemption, are automatically placed in the highest contribution bracket.
In all these cases, the regional tax due will always be equal to the maximum amount (€190).
Foreign students from particularly poor countries
The assessment of the financial situation may be certified by the Italian Representation in the country of origin, which must certify that the student does not belong to a notoriously high-income, high-social status family.
For enrolled at a university of the country of origin, linked by agreements or affiliations with the Politecnico di Milano, this certification may also be issued by the university of origin.
For those enrolling in the first year of Bachelor of Science/single-cycle Master of Science or Master of Science Programmes, this certification can also be issued by Italian bodies enabled to provide guarantees of financial coverage.
If you have difficulty obtaining the certification from the Italian diplomatic authorities in your country of origin, contact the foreign diplomatic or consular representations based in Italy. In this case, the documentation must be legalised by the Prefectures.
