What is ISEE?
The ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) presents the economic situation in order to request subsidized social benefits and is calculated on the basis of the Single Substitute Declaration (DSU) of the family unit.
What do you need ISEE for?
Present the ISEE or ISEE Parificato to ask for a reduction in student fees (second and third installments) and / or the economic benefits and services provided by the University for the right to study (such as scholarships, student collaborations). You can also submit your ISEE to apply for a possible exemption from the flat-rate fee for the filter semester in Medicine and Surgery and Dentistry.
How do you obtain and submit ISEE?
1. Apply for an ISEE 2026 valid for subsidized benefits for the right to university study at:
- one of the Tax Assistance Centers (CAF);
- INPS desk or online on the INPS (National Institute of Social Security) website.
2. Check for omissions and/or discrepancies;
3. Obtain the ISEE statement within the deadlines set by the university to apply for housing, scholarship and/or reduced university contribution;
4. Allow in your personal profile to the University of Brescia to telematically acquire the ISEE.
Please note: it may take several weeks to obtain the ISEE value, so make arrangements in time to request the certification.
