Refugees - Student University Fee Contribution

Who is it for and what are the requirements? 

Persons subject to international protection (refugee status, subsidiary protection and asylum seekers), temporary protection and special protection, under the Employment Agency or involved in training courses provided by Forma.Temp dedicated to them, are granted access to the Ebitemp service "Contributo Retta universitaria" (University tuition fee contribution) with facilitated requirements, providing, in the case of enrolment in a university degree course within its legal duration, an annual contribution towards the cost of university fees. 

The benefit is also aimed at interested parties who are enrolled on a university training course designated "CFU" to achieve credits required by Italian Presidential Decree 19/2016 and obtained during Bachelor's, specialised, and Master's degree courses or individual university courses. Post-graduate courses (specialisation schools, university masters etc.) are excluded. 

Only universities in Italy will be recognised. 

What are you entitled to? 

An annual contribution of €240 before tax, as provided for by law, for university fees incurred. 

What do you have to do? 

The individuals concerned must have attended at least one day of the training courses provided by Forma.Temp dedicated to them or worked at least one day as a temporary worker, by signing an employment contract with an Employment Agency between 1 September and 31 August of each academic year. 

The application must be sent by the interested parties and/or by the Territorial Trade Union Offices exclusively by accessing the MyEbitemp reserved area, from which it is possible to monitor its progress and add any missing documentation (for the management of additions, consult the operational guide at the following link MyEbitemp Additions Management Guide). 

If the required documentation is missing, Ebitemp will suspend the process and send the worker a request for additional documentation, which must be received within 90 calendar days. After this, if no additional documentation has been received, the application will be considered withdrawn and therefore rejected.

I am a student who has exceeded the normal duration of the course. Can I access the benefit? 

The contribution is only granted to working students enrolled in a degree course within its legal duration. 

Can the receipts reimbursed by Ebitemp be deducted in the tax return? 

The amounts paid by Ebitemp, based on the receipts for payment of university fees submitted, cannot be deducted in the tax return, in accordance with the provisions of current legislation. 

Will I receive the Certificazione Unica (Single Certification) for the amount received, which is useful for tax return purposes? 

Yes, by accessing your personal mailbox and viewing the email received from the TNotice system, you can click on the "collect the registered letter" button to download the document (click here to consult the operational guide).  

I am a minor worker with a temporary contract. What can I do to access Ebitemp's services? 

For requests submitted by minors, the forms to be attached must be signed by someone with parental responsibility. Verification of the status of the person exercising parental responsibility can be obtained by means of the family status certificate or self-declaration of parental responsibility (click here to download the form). 

Ebitemp has notified me of the suspension of the provision of a service due to the default on a loan granted by the Organisation. Why? 

Failure to repay, in whole or in part, a loan granted by Ebitemp results in the suspension of the provision of the other benefits of the Organisation, until the outstanding amount has been repaid in full.
