Using European PON Research and Innovation 2014-2020 funding to reduce tuition fees
Action IV.2 ‘Support to families for the payment of tuition fees (reduction and exemption based on individual income)’, of the PON Ricerca e Innovazione 2014-2020, as part of the ‘REACT- EU’ initiative, supports students in situations of economic vulnerability, guaranteeing access to education and promoting recovery of vulnerable areas. Thanks to the increased resources allocated by the programme, students enrolled in university courses could benefit from a total or partial exemption from the annual fee.
