n

• The published data concern all students benefiting from interventions, enrolled in undergraduate or postgraduate degree courses (doctorate and specialization), both at universities and at other tertiary education institutions (Academies of Fine Arts, Conservatories, etc.). The Provinces of Trento and Bolzano and the Valle d’Aosta Region sometimes provide interventions for resident students enrolled in Italian or foreign universities outside their territories: please note that these data are not included in this publication.

n

• The interventions implemented for students refer to a.y. (t-1)/t (recorded as of October 31 of year t); expenditure refers to the amounts committed in the financial year (t-1), as reported in the final balance sheet.

n

• The total number of accommodation places includes places allocated for guest house use.

n

• The number of eligible non-resident students, on which the percentage of accommodation beneficiaries is calculated, is recorded by Office II – MUR.

n

• An eligible student is a student who meets the merit and financial requirements to access the scholarship. An eligible student is not automatically a scholarship beneficiary, but depends on financial availability.

n

• A student is defined as eligible non-resident if they reside in a municipality other than that of the course of study, which cannot be reached by public transport within 60 minutes, and who takes up paid accommodation in the municipality where the course is held, for a period of not less than ten months. Distance is evaluated by some bodies based on kilometers, and by others based on travel time by public transport.

n

• The mobility grant is a monetary supplement to the scholarship for students participating in international mobility programs, the amount of which depends on the number of months in mobility.

n

• Part-time activities are paid collaborations provided by students at the bodies managing the DSU, for a maximum of 200 hours per year.

n

• The rent subsidies considered are those granted to students who are either not eligible for the scholarship or eligible but not recipients of a scholarship or accommodation.

n

• Extraordinary grants are monetary subsidies granted to students facing severe difficulties or special conditions of economic hardship due to an extraordinary and unexpected event.

n

• Expenditure on interventions for students with disabilities is not necessarily related to individual monetary subsidies, but in some regions includes collective interventions (e.g., agreements for transport services).

n

nThe number of transport subsidies sometimes refers to the number of students who benefited, and other times to the number of subsidies granted (e.g., the number of discounted passes), so the same student may have benefited multiple times.
