What is it?
INPS provides a contribution for the enrolment at national boarding schools (“convitti” and “educandati”) and for the attendance, with full-board or half-board, at:
- a primary school;
- a lower secondary school;
- an upper secondary school.
The contribution covers the duration of the entire course of study. In highly specialised boarding schools, on the other hand, it is limited to one year.
Who is it aimed at?
The benefit is intended for students at primary school, lower secondary school and upper secondary school, who are children of:
- civil servants and civil servant pensioners registered within the Unified Scheme of credit and social benefits of INPS;
- pensioners benefiting from the Civil Servants’ Pension Scheme.
- individuals registered with the Teachers and School Managers Scheme;
- individuals registered with the Post-telegraph Scheme.
How does it work?
START DATE AND DURATION
Contributions are awarded each year with a competition tender.
The winners benefit from the contribution for the entire duration of courses of study from primary school to upper secondary school.
To maintain the benefit, it is necessary to submit a specific declaration, which also includes the need to acquire in the procedure the documentation certifying the continuation of the requirements for the following years.
Tenders and the related classifications can be found in the Welfare, Assistance and Mutuality section.
WHAT AM I ENTITLED TO?
The value of the payable contribution is determined as a percentage of the lowest amount between the maximum payable contribution and the cost of the annual registration fee, in relation to the ISEE value of the relevant family unit.
The Teachers and School Managers Scheme and the Post-telegraph Scheme will cover the cost, in favour of their respective registered individuals, of the contribution in its entirety, without prejudice to the limits set.
