The online application is available in the “Online services” section. Before applying, read the Call for Applications and the FAQs carefully.

Since 1 October 2021, access to public administration services for Italian citizens who are of age must be made exclusively through SPID or CIE.
Therefore, the old login access is allowed only for minor students and international (non-Italian) students.

By filling in the online form you automatically compete for the scholarship. The options for a residence place and for the international mobility contribution are supplements to the scholarship and, for this reason, must be expressly indicated by those who are interested.

The status of “in sede” (local) or “pendolare” (commuter) student is assigned automatically by the system, by calculating the distance between your place of residence and the location of your course. Only “fuori sede” (living away from home) status must be self-certified, as per art. 7.3 of the Call for Applications.

You do not need to enter ISEE data. Adisurc will retrieve directly from the INPS archives your latest ISEE certificate applicable to benefits for the right to university education (University ISEE), signed in the year of the BDS competition. (e.g. Call 2025/2026, ISEEU 2025)

To protect our services, an IT verification system is active. Some login attempts may be considered dangerous and therefore blocked. We will report your name so that it can be unblocked.

Yes, you may take part in the competition even before completing your university enrolment. Those who are not found to be enrolled when the data is queried at the University will be placed in the ranking as suspended, which means:
<ul>

<li>the payment of any scholarship awarded is suspended</li>

<li>no place in a residence is assigned, if requested in the application</li>

</ul>

We recommend completing your enrolment for the academic year of the Call <strong>by the deadline</strong> for submitting applications to the BDS competition.

Yes, but only if you are enrolled in the “additional semester” (first year beyond the standard duration), except for candidates with a disability, who may compete even if enrolled in the second year beyond the standard duration.

Participation in the competition is excluded for those who already hold a university degree of the same level as the one they aim to obtain at the end of the course they are attending in the academic year of the competition (e.g. a student enrolled in a bachelor’s degree who has already obtained a bachelor’s degree cannot take part; a student enrolled in a master’s degree who has already obtained a bachelor’s degree can take part).

Yes, provided you comply with the obligations set out in art. 5.4 of the Call for Applications.

No, candidates who, following a change of career, are enrolled again in the first year of a course of the same level as the one they come from are not admitted to the competition. However, they may take part from the second year onwards.

Yes. Students in this situation will be admitted to the competition:
<ol>

<li>if their graduation exam falls in the academic year of the BDS competition, they will be placed as an additional semester of a bachelor’s degree and any scholarship will be halved;</li>

<li>if their graduation exam falls in the <strong>extraordinary session</strong> of the academic year preceding the BDS competition, they will be placed:

<ol>

<li>as first year of a master’s degree, if they enrol in that course. They will be subject to verification of 20 CFU (university credits) by 10 August following, to determine whether they are entitled to 100% of the scholarship, 50%, or no scholarship</li>

<li>as an additional semester of a bachelor’s degree, even if they graduated in the extraordinary session of the academic year preceding that of the BDS competition, and any scholarship will be halved.</li>

</ol>

</li>

</ol>

In essence, students about to graduate will in any case be recognised as eligible as an additional semester, even if they graduated in the preceding academic year, but only if both of the following conditions are met:

<ol>

<li>graduation takes place in the extraordinary session of the academic year preceding that of the BDS competition and not earlier;</li>

<li>they do not enrol, in the academic year of the competition, in the first year of a master’s degree.</li>

</ol>

All these checks are carried out automatically by the Company, without the candidate having to submit any application.
Please refer to art. 1.2.4 of the Call for Applications.

You must enter the university at which you are enrolled for the bachelor’s degree. Pursuant to art. 1.2.4 of the Call, the Company will automatically verify the progress of your career: you will initially be placed in the rankings of students enrolled in <strong>later years</strong> (of the bachelor’s degree), and any placement in the single ranking of first-year students (of the master’s degree) will take place after you notify the University you have chosen for continuing your studies. You can send the <strong>notification of change of University</strong> on your own, directly in the dedicated section of your Personal Area, by the deadline set by the Call.

Yes. According to art. 1.2 of the Call, a master’s (specialist) degree is a type B course and, therefore, the university career of the students enrolled in it starts again from the year in which they enrol in that course.

Yes, under the conditions set out in art. 1.2.7 of the Call.

No increase is granted in cases of double enrolment in courses of different types: Type A (bachelor’s/single-cycle), Type B (master’s), Type C (post-graduate).

No. The requirements for taking part in the competition differ for candidates enrolled in the first year and for those enrolled in later years of the courses referred to in art. 1.2 of the Call for Applications. Income requirements must be met by all candidates at the time of taking part in the competition, whereas merit requirements must be met at the time of taking part in the competition only by candidates enrolled in later years of “type A” and “type B” courses.

For those enrolled in the first years, no merit requirement is requested at the time of submitting the application, since eligibility and position within the rankings are determined exclusively on the basis of income requirements. However, in order to preserve the right to receive the scholarship, these candidates must subsequently meet the merit requirements, as detailed in art. 3.1 of the Call, with reference to the second adjusted ranking.
For those enrolled in any year of compulsory specialisation schools for the exercise of a profession (excluding those in the medical area pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 368/1999) or of PhD courses (if not recipients of the scholarships under Ministerial Decree no. 224 of 30 April 1999, activated pursuant to art. 4 of Law no. 210/1998), eligibility and position within the rankings are determined exclusively on the basis of income requirements.
For those enrolled in later years, without prejudice to meeting the income requirements, eligibility and position within the rankings are determined exclusively on the basis of merit requirements.

For access to the single ranking reserved for students enrolling for the first time in the first year of a degree course, there is no minimum mark requirement for the secondary school leaving exam.

No, merit requirements do not have to be self-certified or documented. The Company acquires the data <strong>directly from the universities’ archives</strong>.

The credits are set out in detail in arts. 3.1 and 3.2 of the Call for Applications.

The operation is carried out automatically: the IT system assigns the candidate the number of credits needed to reach the minimum merit requirement where the credits obtained are insufficient. The system stores the names of students who used “bonus” credits in previous competitions and to what extent. Bonus credits are not assigned to candidates enrolled in the first year.
For more information, see art. 3.6 of the Call for Applications.

No. As per FAQ 1.5, candidates who, following a change of career, are enrolled in the academic year of the BDS competition again in the first year of a course of the same type as the one they come from are not admitted to the competition. However, they may take part from the second year of the course onwards.

Yes, you can take part. Your placement in the ranking will normally be made by resetting the previous career, i.e. using as the year of first enrolment the year of enrolment in the course attended in the current academic year and NOT counting any validated CFU.
The Company makes an exception to this general rule (and will therefore also count the validated CFU, but will set the year of first enrolment to the year of <strong>first enrolment ever</strong> in the type of course attended in the academic year for which you are competing)
<ol>

<li>if you request it;</li>

<li>if the University, following the change of career, enrols you in a higher year of the course (repeating students).</li>

</ol>

<em>Example: student with a previous career started in 2020/2021, change of career and new enrolment from 2021/2022 in the current bachelor’s degree:</em>

<ol>

<li><em>if the University enrols them regularly in the third year, they are placed in the ranking with year of first enrolment 2021, without counting the CFU validated from the previous career;</em></li>

<li><em>if the University enrols them in the fourth year (third year beyond the standard duration), they are placed in the ranking with year of first enrolment 2020 and not 2021, counting the CFU validated from the previous career.</em></li>

</ol>

If, in the academic year in which you compete, you are enrolled from the first to the third year of the new single-cycle degree, you will be excluded from the competition for holding a degree of the same level (the first three years of a single-cycle degree correspond to the three years of a bachelor’s degree). If, instead, you are enrolled in the fourth or fifth year of the new single-cycle degree, you can take part.

No. A new ISEE certificate issued in the year of the competition is required. Certificates issued in previous years, or in the following calendar year, are not accepted.
e.g. 2023/2024 competition -> ISEEU 2023. ISEEU 2022 and ISEEU 2024 certificates are not valid.

No, the ISEE certificate is retrieved by Adisurc directly from the INPS archives.
To this end, please note that, on pain of exclusion from the competition, the ISEE certificate must be retrievable automatically from the INPS archives, without extension, <strong>by the day after the competition deadline</strong>.

Yes, no later than 31 March following the start of the BDS competition.

You can go to one of the Tax Assistance Centres (CAF) in Italy, or you can contact the Centre that has an agreement with Adisurc.

Yes, the DSU must declare the amounts of scholarships, graduation awards, international mobility contributions and compensation for student collaborations awarded in the academic years preceding the academic year of the competition, received in the calendar year relevant to the declaration. (e.g. ISEEU 2024, from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022, cash basis).

No, the application to take part in the competition is received exclusively online.

Only some information has to be documented, certifying that it conforms to the original with Form 1 (self-certification) attached to the Call and also downloadable online, accompanied by a copy of an identity document. The list of documents required is given in art. 5.2 of the Call.

Form 1 accompanies the submission of the documentation required by art. 5.2 of the Call for Applications. Only candidates who are required to send that documentation must download Form 1, fill it in, sign it and send it together with their identity document and the documentation in question.

Yes, you can edit the data even if the application has already been “confirmed”, provided that the <strong>edit and further confirmation</strong> take place by the competition deadline.

No, increases cannot be combined and you are entitled to the highest one.

No, increases cannot be combined and you are entitled to the highest one.

The request must be submitted when applying for the competition. The increase is calculated automatically by the Company, following checks on your career with the University or Universities where you attend the two courses.
You are entitled to the increase:
<ol>

<li>if the main course and the secondary course comply with the rules of art. 1.2.6 of the Call (the primary course must be the higher one)</li>

<li>if you meet and maintain the merit requirements for both courses.</li>

</ol>

The primary course is the one in which you are enrolled in a later year (the higher one), while the secondary course is the one in which you are enrolled in a first year.
Therefore:
<ol>

<li>the main course (later year) entitles you to the scholarship if you have already obtained the CFU required by the Call by 10 August preceding the Call deadline. The paying body will be that of the region of the primary course.</li>

<li>the secondary course will entitle you to a 20% increase of the scholarship if you obtain at least 20 CFU by 10 August following the publication of the Call, or a 10% increase of the scholarship if you obtain them by 30 November following the publication of the Call. No increase if you do not obtain at least 20 CFU by 30 November. The paying body will be that of the region of the secondary course.</li>

</ol>

In the case of double enrolment in two first years, you must choose one as the primary course, which would entitle you to the scholarship. The second course becomes secondary and would entitle you to the 20% increase.
Among the requirements for obtaining the scholarship, in the case of enrolment in a first year, there is the obligation to obtain at least 20 CFU by 10 August following the publication of the Call (scholarship at 100%) or by 30 November following the publication of the Call (scholarship at 50%).
Therefore:
<ol>

<li>the main course you choose will entitle you to 100% of the scholarship if you obtain at least 20 CFU by 10 August following the publication of the Call, or 50% of the scholarship if you obtain them by 30 November following the publication of the Call. No scholarship if you do not obtain at least 20 CFU by 30 November following the publication of the Call. The paying body will be that of the region of the primary course.</li>

<li>the secondary course will entitle you to a 20% increase of the scholarship if you obtain at least 20 CFU by 10 August following the publication of the Call, or a 10% increase if you obtain them by 30 November following the publication of the Call. No increase if you do not obtain at least 20 CFU by 30 November following the publication of the Call. The paying body will be that of the region of the secondary course.</li>

</ol>

The three increases cannot be combined and you are entitled to the highest one, therefore only the 40% for the condition of disability.

The conditions are:
<ul>

<li>obtaining the bachelor’s or master’s (specialist) degree within the duration set by the respective teaching regulations (i.e. not graduating beyond the standard duration);</li>

<li>being a recipient of the scholarship.</li>

</ul>

No, you do not have to submit an application. The Company automatically checks with your University whether you are entitled to it. The award is assigned <strong>only if resources are available in addition to those for scholarships.</strong>

Yes, because these are two different courses of study, the first of “type A” and the second of “type B”, as per art. 1.2.1 of the Call for Applications.

No, because the Graduation Award is an increase of the scholarship.

Please read FAQ 1.6 first.
The scholarship (e.g. 2023/2024) is also granted to students who graduate in the extraordinary session of the preceding academic year (2022/2023), precisely because that session in fact extends well beyond the end of the academic year (in this specific case October 2023). This is a scholarship reduced by 50% because it corresponds to the last semester (art. 6.2 of the Call).
In this case there could be an overlap with the 2022/2023 Graduation Award (if the student is a scholarship recipient in the same year and graduates within the deadlines), but it is not possible to pay both benefits.
Therefore, in cases like yours, where you would be entitled to both benefits, since they cannot be combined the Company applies the financial condition most favourable to you, between the 2023/2024 scholarship (50% of the scholarship, corresponding to an additional semester) and the 2022/2023 Graduation Award (50% of the scholarship, corresponding to the graduation award).

You do not need to declare your status as an “in sede” or “pendolare” student, since Adisurc calculates it automatically and assigns:
<ul>

<li>”in sede” status if the declared residence is in one of the Municipalities listed in art. 7.2;</li>

<li>”pendolare” status if the declared residence is in one of the Municipalities NOT listed in art. 7.2 and if no details of a lease contract have been communicated.</li>

</ul>

If, instead, you wish to compete as “fuori sede”, you must expressly request it in the online application form. “Fuori sede” status is in fact assigned:

<ul>

<li>if the declared residence is in one of the Municipalities NOT listed in art. 7.3</li>

<li>if the candidate has obtained a place in a University Residence or has self-certified the details of a lease contract, in the manner set out in art. 7.3 of the Call</li>

</ul>

Yes. If, at the Call deadline, the candidate does not yet hold a residential lease contract, they can regularise their position afterwards, as provided by the Call. Until regularisation they will have “fuori sede con riserva” (conditional) status, with the scholarship amount of a commuter student.

In general, to obtain a residence place you must be in the potential condition of a “fuori sede” student, i.e. you only need to meet the requirement of residing in a municipality more than 30 km from the location of the degree course, since the additional condition of having signed a paid contract is satisfied by taking up residence there. Students who are admitted to a residence are in fact considered “fuori sede” if they remain residents for a total period of 10 months. However, if the candidate is not admitted to a residence because the available places have run out, they must sign a contract in order to be considered “fuori sede”.

Each type of ranking (provisional, definitive, adjusted) is drawn up for:
<ul>

<li>students enrolled for the first time in the <strong>first year</strong>: a single ranking per university, ordered in ascending order solely on the basis of the Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE).</li>

<li>students enrolled in <strong>later years</strong> than the first: several rankings, compiled by grouping candidates by year of first enrolment and by degree course (“aggregations”), ordered in descending order on the basis of the merit index (IM).</li>

</ul>

It means that you have not yet completed your enrolment in the current academic year, so it is not yet possible to declare either eligibility or exclusion from the competition.
For this reason, payment of the scholarship, if awarded, is blocked for these candidates until the conditions of suspension are removed within the deadlines set by the Call.
Once the operations needed to regularise your career have been carried out, the suspension is lifted ex officio, following verification by Adisurc with the university/AFAM institute concerned.

All rankings are published exclusively on the Adisurc website.
In addition, each candidate can check the outcome of the competition in their personal electronic file, accessible with their personal credentials.

After the publication of the provisional rankings, candidates can submit a request for correction of income or merit data, as provided in art. 8.3 of the Call for Applications.
Against the definitive and adjusted rankings, an appeal may be made to the Regional Administrative Court (TAR) of Campania within 60 (sixty) days of their publication, as per art. 8.6 of the Call for Applications.
Before filing an appeal with the TAR, again within the 60-day period, you can ask the Company to examine your appeal by way of administrative self-review: submit a request using the ticketing system in your personal area and state the reasons why you contest the outcome of the rankings.

Eligible candidates, whether or not awarded a scholarship, will receive this refund directly from the University/AFAM institute, after Adisurc has communicated the names of those entitled to the University. The methods of refund or of any exemption must be checked with the University/AFAM institute concerned.

Eligible candidates, whether or not awarded a scholarship, will receive this refund from Adisurc when the balance of the scholarship is paid, without any action on their part being necessary.

Scholarships are paid within the terms set by the Prime Ministerial Decree (DPCM) of 9 April 2001:
<ol>

<li>the 50% advance of the cash portion of the scholarship, for all candidates who are not suspended in the rankings, is paid by 31 December;</li>

<li>the remaining 50% balance of the cash portion of the scholarship is paid:

<ul>

<li>for students enrolled in later years than the first, not suspended: by 30 June;</li>

<li>for students enrolled in the first years, not suspended: after verification that at least 20 CFU have been obtained by the following 10 August or the following 30 November;</li>

</ul>

</li>

</ol>

NOTE. For candidates who are suspended in the rankings, payment is suspended until the causes of suspension are removed. The deadline for regularising one’s position is set out in the Call and varies according to the reason for suspension. For these candidates, therefore, the advance and the balance may be paid in a single instalment.

The amounts are credited directly to the bank account indicated online by the candidate.
Cash payments against direct receipt are not allowed.

Providing the IBAN code is not mandatory in order to take part in the competition, but it is a necessary condition for obtaining payment of the scholarship and the refund of the regional fee. If it is not provided, payment of the amounts is suspended until the position is regularised.

Yes, but only if it belongs to the <a href=”https://www.bancaditalia.it/compiti/sispaga-mercati/sepa/”>SEPA</a> circuit.

No. Candidates must send the IBAN exclusively through the dedicated online function.

All payment methods that have an IBAN enabled to receive credits are accepted. A postal savings book, for example, can NOT be used.

No. The account must necessarily be held or jointly held by the student. Otherwise the transaction will not be completed and the amounts will be returned to the Company.

The method of participation is the same as for scholarships. You must indicate in the online application form that you are also competing for a residence place.

Yes. The accommodation service is paid for everyone, at a reduced rate.
Payment is made, depending on the case, by direct payment by the student or by deduction of the amount from the scholarship by Adisurc. Please refer to art. 10.3 of the Call.

As a rule, residence places are assigned to the students who requested them in the online application form, with invitations issued in ranking order.
Only if there are not enough requests compared to the places to be assigned will the Company invite candidates ex officio. In this latter case, accepting the residence place is a necessary condition for obtaining “fuori sede” status. In case of refusal, “pendolare” status is automatically acquired.

No. The catering service is open to all university students, regardless of whether they take part in the competition.

No. The service is paid, at a reduced rate, for “fuori sede” and “pendolare” students who are eligible for the competition and awarded a scholarship, as well as for eligible students not awarded a scholarship who are enrolled in the first years.
The service is free for “in sede” students who are eligible for the competition and awarded a scholarship, as well as for students who are eligible for the competition but not awarded a scholarship, enrolled in later years.
The payment methods are, depending on the case, direct payment or deduction from the scholarship, according to art. 1.04 of the Call.

No. However, Adisurc deducts the cost of the meal (traditional or alternative) from the scholarship for “pendolare” and “fuori sede” students in the locations where the service can be used through a university canteen, namely the Fisciano Campus and the Parthenope canteen. Please refer to art. 10.4 of the Call.

For the supplementary contribution for international mobility to be granted, the following conditions must be met:
<ul>

<li>the candidate must be an eligible scholarship recipient in the definitive rankings referred to in art. 8.4 of the Call for Applications;</li>

<li>the period of study and/or traineeship must receive academic recognition of at least 6 CFU within their course of study;</li>

<li>the candidate must not have received the same contribution during their course of study;</li>

<li>the stay abroad must not exceed 10 months.</li>

</ul>

The contribution is assigned only if resources are available in addition to those for scholarships.

For the current year the monthly contribution is set at a total of € 600.00. Adisurc pays the difference between this amount and the contribution assigned by the University for the mobility grant, so that the total contribution between University and Adisurc is € 600.00 per month, paid according to the days of actual stay abroad. This contribution is then increased by € 100.00 as a refund of return travel expenses to a European country and by € 500.00 as a refund of return travel expenses to a non-European country.

Yes, because these are two different courses of study, the first of “type A” and the second of “type B”, as per art. 1.2.1 of the Call for Applications.

No. The requirements to be considered “fuori sede” are those set out in art. 7.1 of the Call.

The necessary condition for obtaining the “fuori sede” scholarship increase is to occupy a residence place for a minimum of 10 months in the period 1 October – 30 September. The scholarship increase is specifically intended to cover accommodation costs and is not due if those costs are not incurred. For the period abroad, in fact, the university and Adisurc contribution for international mobility is provided. Therefore, in the presence of a shorter contract, including because of an Erasmus absence, the status will be that of a commuter (“pendolare”).

Payment is made at the end of the stay abroad, once the checks have been carried out with the candidates’ reference Universities.

You will still obtain the benefit, unfortunately not within the deadlines set by the Call for Applications, but afterwards, in the periodic payment batches made by the Company.

You will still obtain the benefit, unfortunately not within the deadlines set by the Call for Applications, but afterwards, in the periodic payment batches made by the Company. However, you must update the IBAN code in your reserved area.

You may not have received the payment:
<ul>

<li>because you are suspended in the ranking for some merit or income reason</li>

<li>because you have not yet provided your IBAN code</li>

<li>because you have provided an invalid IBAN code.</li>

</ul>

In the last two cases, please log in to your reserved area and provide a valid IBAN.

The IBAN code is not valid when:
<ul>

<li>it does not correspond to a bank or postal current account (or to another chosen electronic payment instrument, with an associated IBAN code) belonging to the <a href=”https://www.bancaditalia.it/compiti/sispaga-mercati/sepa/”>SEPA</a> circuit</li>

<li>it is not held or jointly held by the student who is the recipient;</li>

<li>it is not formally correct (27 alphanumeric characters in the case of an Italian IBAN, or the structure provided for other nationalities: <a href=”https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number”>https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number</a>);</li>

<li>it refers to a closed or blocked current account;</li>

<li>it refers to an expired payment card;</li>

<li>it refers to a payment card not enabled to receive funds;</li>

<li>it refers to a payment card whose collection limit has been exceeded;</li>

<li>it refers to a postal savings book.</li>

</ul>

Make sure you enter, in the IBAN section, the same first name and surname you used when you registered and which appear in your personal records, so that there is a perfect match. Pay particular attention to accents or special characters and do not type spaces at the beginning or end of the field: a space counts as a character.
