International students: income abroad
Students whose family's income and assets are abroad need an ISEE parificato from the CAF (tax assistance centre) that has an agreement with the university. 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, by the application deadline.
The University of Padua call does not mention the particularly poor countries list: if your family lives in one of them, ask the office what to bring. How the indicator is calculated: ISEE parificato.
Estimate your ISEE and ISPE
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.
