The benefits listed in this Article apply to the amounts due according to students' Isee 2024 and cannot be combined with the reductions provided for in Article 20.
Those who benefit from the benefits listed in this article must pay the €140 regional tax and the €16 stamp duty.
1. "95-99 School leaving exam" Bonus. Those who enrol in Academic Year 2024-2025 and obtained their high school diploma in the 2023-2024 school year with a grade between 95 and 99 out of 100 will benefit from a reduction in the contribution due of €300.
The benefit is automatically applied by the system (no need to enter an exemption) and distributed over all three instalments as follows: €300 is subtracted from the total amount of the tuition fees (1st instalment, + 2nd instalment + 3rd instalment): 30% of the resulting amount is the amount of the 1st instalment, 35% is the amount of the 2nd instalment, the remaining 35% is the amount of the 3rd instalment.
Example: if the yearly total of tuition fees is €1000, the following procedure is followed: 1000-300 = 700 => first instalment = €210; second instalment = €245; third instalment = €245.
2. "Honours Programme" Bonus. The purpose of the Honours Programme is to enhance the training of students enrolled in a Degree Programme who are interested in in-depth training and cultural integration activities. The Honours Programme consists of additional educational activities and awards a final certificate. The Faculties that activate the Honours Programmes issue special annual calls for applications.
Students who pass the selection process to access the Honours Programme proposed by their Faculty, at the end of the programme will be reimbursed the amount of the tuition fees paid in the last year of enrolment from which €30 is subtracted as a one-off contribution.
3. “Degree programmes of community interest” bonus. Those who, in the academic year 2024-2025, enrol in the first, second and third years of degree programmes that do not have restricted access and in the first and second years of master's degree programmes that do not have restricted access under the Ministerial Decree 270/04 of the STEM classes indicated below, benefit from a refund of tuition fees, of a variable amount, established annually on the basis of the ministerial funding obtained by the University (Ministerial Decree 773 of June 10, 2024).
Recipients of the benefit are those who declare an Isee 2024 for the right to academic education less than or equal to €40,000 and who:
- are enrolled in the first year and have obtained a high school diploma with a grade of 85 out of 100 or higher;
- are enrolled in year 1 and year 3 of the bachelor's degree programmes or year 2 of master's degree programmes and have obtained at least 30 ECTS in the academic year 2023-2024 by January 31, 2025;
- are not enrolled in part-time learning.
These students pay the one-off contribution according to their Isee 2024 for the right to academic education and then obtain a partial or full refund ex officio. In this regard, we suggest that you indicate your Iban (in the Profile section) on Infostud so that the reimbursement can be made fully electronically.
The benefit does not apply in the case of late payment of tuition fees.
In the case of a degree programme change or transfer from another programme that does not provide for this benefit, the reduction will start from the programme year in which you are enrolled (if different from the first year), without prejudice to the obligation to meet the merit and income requirements set out above.
The degree classes for which the benefit is available are:
L-2, L-7, L-7/L-9, L-8, L-9, L-13, L-17, L-23, L-27, L-29, L-30, L-31, L-32, L-34, L-35, L-41, L-43, LM-3, LM-4, LM-6, LM-8, LM-9, LM-11, LM-17, LM-18, LM-20, LM-21, LM-22, LM-23, LM-24, LM-25, LM-26, LM-27, LM-28, LM-29, LM-30, LM-31, LM-32, LM-33, LM-35, LM-40, LM-53, LM-54 , LM-58 , LM-60, LM-66, LM-71, LM-74, LM-75, LM-82, LM-83, LM-91, L-P01, LM-9 / LM-59 (LM-9).
4. Family bonus (see article 28)
5. Parenthood bonus. The Board of Governors' resolution of May 30, 2023, established the Parenthood Bonus, which provides for a 50% reduction in tuition fees due, calculated only on the basis of the ordinary or current value Isee for the right to academic education, and intended for students who are parents enrolled at Sapienza University and have an Isee not exceeding €30,000.00, for the first three years of parenthood, starting from the year of birth or adoption of the child.
If both parents are enrolled at Sapienza University, the bonus may be awarded to only one of the two parents.
The Parenthood Bonus applies if no more favourable contribution rates apply.
The Parenthood Bonus is incompatible:
- with other forms of benefits, bonuses, reductions (including reductions resulting from Law 232/2016);
- with the possibility of part-time learning.
The application, which must bear a stamp duty, must be sent by e-mail to the Student Affairs Office, from the institutional mail address, using the Application/Request ("Domanda/Istanza") form available on the Student Forms page and attaching the child's birth or adoption certificate and family status.
The application must be submitted each year, if the requirements are met, by the deadline for payment of the first instalment of enrolment fees.
Until it is implemented on the student career management system, the parenthood bonus will be applied in the form of an ex officio reimbursement managed by the Student Affairs Office, after the application has been accepted.
6. Part-time learning bonus (Part-time) (see article 50).
7. Exam bonus. The exam bonus is awarded to those who are currently enrolled and who, during the academic year 2023-2024, have acquired between August 10, 2023 and August 10, 2024:
- at least 10 ECTS (if, in the 2024-2025 academic year, they enrol in the second year of a bachelor's degree or single-cycle degree) or at least 25 ECTS (if, in the 2024-2025 academic year, they enrol in the third year of a bachelor's degree or in the third, fourth, fifth or sixth year of a single-cycle degree or in the first or second year of a two-year master's degree);
- an average grade of 24 out of 30, calculated on all the exams taken and for the entire previous educational career.
The recipients of the bonus are automatically identified by the Infostud system, which allocates the benefit, based on the criteria set out, to the 15% of those with the best results, in terms of number of credits and grades obtained, who will be awarded if they do not fall within the more favourable reduction ranges set out in art. 20, a bonus on tuition fees due for the 2024-2025 academic year. The amount of the bonus varies from a minimum of €150 to a maximum of €300 and is allocated according to the merit of each student.
The minimum value of the one-off contribution for the 2024-2025 academic year for those benefiting from the exam bonus is set at €30.
7.1 Allocation of the bonus. The system will take into account all credits acquired through graded exams in previous years ( starting from the first year of enrolment) and up to August 10, 2024. Recognised exams are excluded from the calculation.
The system calculates 3 evaluation parameters:
a. the sum of the ECTS of each exam multiplied by the grade obtained divided by 100:
SUM(ECTS*grade)/100;
b. the weighted average of grades;
c. the date of birth.
The bonus will be awarded in decreasing order for parameter a. (starting with the highest score), then for parameter b. (starting with the highest average) and finally for parameter c. (starting with the most recent date of birth).
Those who are enrolled in the first year of a two-year Master's degree are entitled to the exam bonus and receive a 5% bonus on their score if they have acquired their degree by August 10, 2024.
The exam bonus is not available for those enrolling in bachelor's degrees or enrolling in the first year of a master's degree having graduated from another university.
