International students: income abroad
Students whose family's income and assets are abroad need an ISEE parificato calculated by an Italian CAF (tax assistance centre). You bring the official documents from your country (family composition, income, buildings with their area, savings), legalised and translated into Italian, and the CAF issues the ISEE and ISPE parificato; if you applied by the deadline, the call gives you until 30 November 2026 to submit it.
Family in a particularly poor country (such as Bangladesh or Nepal)? The ERSU Palermo call asks for a certificate from the Italian embassy stating that you do not belong to a well-known high-income family (see the quote above). How the indicator is calculated: ISEE parificato.

The visa is separate
The scholarship does not replace the visa funds: you must show €10,179.85 a year, and a DSU scholarship counts only once it has been awarded. Visa funds and permit costs.
