Submit your request via the Alice portal by 12 p.m. on 31 October 2025.
You may also apply from 1 November 2025 until 12 p.m. on 16 February 2026 by paying a EUR 75 late fee.
Reductions will only apply if you are properly enrolled or newly enrolled for the 2025/2026 academic year by 31 December 2025.

If you are applying for admission to a Master’s Degree course for 2025/2026 academic year, you may request a fee reduction up to 12 p.m. on 31 December 2025 without a late fee.
If enrolment in the Master’s Degree or Single Transition Courses is recorded after 1 December 2025, you must confirm enrolment and submit the request for fee reduction within 30 days of the notification of the enrolment decision.

For the request for fee reduction, you must use the “ISEE università”, which bears the wording “Si applica alle prestazioni agevolate per il diritto allo studio universitario in favore di … (student’s tax code)”. It must be valid at the time you submit your request.
If your application is submitted as an exception after the 31 December 2025 deadline, you must use the “ISEE università 2026”.

If your household income has changed significantly, you may submit a current ISEE università (see INPS guidance). Even if you have already submitted an ISEE università, you can send the new certificate to serviziotasse@unipi.it to request reductions.

You can obtain the ISEE università certificate by filing the Dichiarazione Sostitutiva Unica (DSU):

  • at CAF offices (tax assistance centres). Book your appointment well in advance, as the certificate is issued a few days after submitting the DSU.
  • through other authorised providers (e.g. authorised accountants)
  • on the INPS website by logging in with SPID and completing the pre-filled DSU

How to submit the reduction request :

  • log in to the Alice portal
  • select “Richiesta riduzione tasse” and then “Inserisci i dati per la richiesta di riduzione tasse”
  • enter the issue date of the ISEE certificate. If INPS has not yet issued the ISEE, you may enter the date the DSU was signed/submitted
  • enter the ISEE certificate protocol number (INPS-ISEE-AAAA-XXXXXXXXX-XX). If INPS has not yet issued the certificate, enter the protocol number on the DSU receipt issued by the CAF (CAF + protocol no.) or by INPS if you applied directly via the INPS portal (INPS-ISEE-AAAA-XXXXXXXXX-XX)
  • authorise acquisition of your ISEE data directly from the INPS database (if you do not give consent, the request will be invalid, and your data will not be saved)
  • declare whether there are other members of your household enrolled at the University of Pisa in academic year 2025/2026
  • select “Per confermare vai alla pagina successiva” and check the information entered
  • click “Presenta autocertificazione”. If you need to amend any data, click “Annulla” and then “Modifica i dati inseriti” to return to the start
  • complete the procedure by clicking “Ok” and then “Stampa ricevuta”. Save and keep the receipt (you must present it in case of disputes))

You are fully exempt from paying the entire contribution if you are:

  • a DSU Toscana scholarship holder
  • a student with a recognised disability under art. 3(1) of Law no. 104 of 5 February 1992, or with a disability of 66% or more. Once declared, enrolment in subsequent academic years is renewed automatically
  • a foreign student holding a government scholarship: you pay only the regional tax
  • an inmate: you pay only the regional tax
  • a care leaver (living outside your family of origin under a court order): you pay only the regional tax

You are partially exempt if:

  • you are an employee of the University of Pisa, the Scuola Normale Superiore, the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca, or the DSU. You pay only the first instalment and no surcharges for irregularity or inactivity. Alternatively, you may request a reduction on economic grounds under the general rules for regular students. In any case, you cannot also receive a merit-based reduction
  • you have a disability between 45% and 65%. You pay 50% of the annual contribution for regular students. To obtain the reduction you must provide a valid disability certificate at the time of enrolment; it remains valid in subsequent academic years. If it expires while your studies are in progress, you keep the reduction until the day before enrolment opens for the next academic year, regardless of the expiry date. The benefit is recognised for academic year 2025/2026, including retrospectively, if your disability was certified following an application submitted to the competent authority on or after 1 January 2025
  • you have certified Specific Learning Disabilities (DSA) issued by the National Health Service or accredited bodies. You are entitled to a 20% reduction in the annual contribution for regular students, taking ISEE into account. You must provide a certificate valid at the time of enrolment. The benefit is recognised for academic year 2025/2026, including retrospectively, if your DSA was certified following an application submitted on or after 1 January 2025

You cannot benefit from more than one partial exemption at the same time; you must apply for the most favourable one.
If your circumstances change in a way that entails withdrawal of a full or partial exemption, you must notify serviziotasse@unipi.it immediately.

If you have reached, or will reach by 31 December 2025, the age of fifty, you pay the annual all-inclusive contribution due for regular students with no surcharge for inactivity or irregularity. The amount may be reduced based on ISEE as follows:

  • with an ISEE from EUR 0 to EUR 26,000, you do not pay the all-inclusive contribution
  • with an ISEE from EUR 26,001, you pay the contribution due for regular students (see reduction table), with a minimum of EUR 250

No application is required, it is granted automatically regardless of economic status:

  • if you enrol in a Bachelor’s or Single-cycle Master’s degree and obtained a final upper-secondary mark of at least 95/100 or 57/60, up to EUR 150
  • if you enrol in the first year of a (two-year) Master’s degree and obtained a first-cycle degree (or university diploma) mark of at least 108/110, up to EUR 150

The merit-based reduction does not apply if your entry qualification was obtained abroad.

The maximum annual contribution is EUR 2,900 for:

  • foreign nationals not resident in Italy
  • foreign nationals resident or staying in Italy, but not financially independent, whose family of origin is resident in a country other than Italy and whose income and/or assets are held abroa
