This one has a deadline
Regional scholarship application
Yours falls on Wed, 30 September 2026, 21 days ago.
If you miss it: The regional scholarship has no late window. Missing this date means waiting a full academic year, and for many students it is the largest single sum of money available to them.
The numbers
Regional scholarship deadline
Official30 September 2026
This deadline applies to everyone, including students who have not finalised enrolment yet.
Fee-waiver / 200-hours deadline
Official30 November 2026
A different, later deadline than the scholarship one. Students routinely confuse the two and lose the scholarship by assuming they have until November.

Once your Application for Benefits is confirmed, Uniweb queries INPS/CAF weekly and collects the certificate itself. Students waste days queueing to hand in a document nobody wants.
How it goes
Start the ISEE parificato early. It is the long pole
If your family's income is earned outside Italy, you need an , prepared by a office that has an agreement with the university rather than by . For UNIPD students there is one such CAF, and it takes the documents only as uploads on its own portal: no paper at a counter. It needs documentation of your family's income and property in your home country, often translated, and it takes weeks. Everything else on this page waits on it.

This single application is how you request the regional scholarship, fee reductions and the 200-hour student collaborations. You authorise the university to fetch your , and you can complete it before you are formally enrolled, registering on with your is enough.
Note that there are two deadlines, not one
The regional scholarship closes at the end of September and applies to everyone including students who have not yet finalised enrolment. Fee-waivers and the 200-hour collaborations close two months later, at the end of November. Students who hear 'the ISEE deadline is November' relax, and lose the scholarship.
Regional scholarship deadline:30 September 2026Fee-waiver / 200-hours deadline:30 November 2026Pay the first instalment on time as well
Enrolment for the year has to be completed by paying the first instalment, and this is part of qualifying for benefits rather than separate from it. Failing or fumbling any one of the steps excludes you from the benefits you applied for.
First instalment due:30 September 2026If you miss the November deadline
Fee-waivers can still be applied for afterwards, but with a late charge that rises in steps through the year. The scholarship has no equivalent late window, miss that one and it is gone.

An ISEE is valid only until 31 December of the year it was made, and each academic year's benefits need that year's certificate. The parificato, the family documents and the Application for Benefits all come round again, on the same calendar. Start in the summer, not in September.
An ISEE is valid:Until 31 December of the year it was madeThen leave the certificate alone
Once your application is confirmed, the system queries INPS or the CAF weekly and collects your ISEE by itself. You are explicitly not supposed to deliver the certificate to any office. Check the status on Uniweb instead of queueing.

What actually goes wrong
Collected from students who hit these. This section is the reason to read the page twice.
Treating September and November as the same deadline
They are different benefits with different closing dates and only one of them has a late window. Put both in your calendar the day you arrive.
Late fee-waiver applications get progressively punishing
After the November deadline a fee-waiver application still works, but with a late charge that rises in steps across the year, and after the following October it is impossible at any price.
Starting the ISEE parificato in November
It is the slowest step in the chain and it depends on documents from your home country. Begin gathering family income documentation before you fly.
