What is it?
The ITACA programmeprovides scholarships to fully or partially cover an academic stay abroad.
The stay is organised and provided by third parties and the coverage is paid by the INPS to the winner of the dedicated competition tender.
Who is it aimed at?
The study abroad programme is a service aimed at children and orphans of those registered with the Credit Fund (as a result of Ministerial Decree 45/07) or of pensioners of the Civil Servants’ Pension Scheme.
How does it work?
The INPS offers students the opportunity to spend all or part of an academic year studying in a school in a foreign country.
The period spent at the foreign Institute is recognised according to the current regulatory and ministerial provisions.
The places are assigned through the competition tender published in the Welfare, Assistance and Mutuality section.
The stay includes the costs of:
- housing with families, boarding schools or academic residences;
- any entry visas;
- travel and transfer from the airport of arrival to the place of destination, including airport taxes;
- board during the whole stay, including costs of the school canteen;
- local public transport;
- insurance cover.
The contribution borne by the user varies according to the ISEE index and may not exceed the maximum amount provided for in the tender.

HOW CAN I CLAIM?
Claims must be submitted by the individual claiming the benefit to INPS exclusively online, through the dedicated service.
Before filling out and submitting the online claim it is important to verify:
- being registered in the database;
- possession of their own credentials to access the service;
- check that the PC has the correct configuration.
Some people, although entitled to submit a claim, are not recognised by the electronic system because:
- they have no institutional relations with the INPS Civil Servants' Pension Scheme;
- they cannot be classed as claimants
(surviving parent of a child of a member or a pensioner, guardian of a child of a member or a pensioner or a minor student).
In these cases, the claim form for registration in the database must be completed and delivered directly to the territorially competent INPS office.
Alternatively, the form can be submitted by:
- certified email;
- non-certified e-mail also attaching a copy of the identity document;
- by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, attaching a copy of the identity document;
- fax, attaching a copy of the identity document.
Addresses, fax numbers and e-mail addresses are available in the Contacts section.
After the rankings of those admitted with reservation have been published, the claimant to the benefit must submit online on the INPS website, via the dedicated service, all the documentation required by the tender announcement.
Processing times of the decision
The deadline to define the decision was set at 30 days by the Regulation for the definition of the terms to conclude the administrative proceedings adopted by INPS pursuant to Article 2 of Law no. 241/1990.
