The beneficiary, depending on the level of schooling achieved, will have to take the exam to obtain: 

• a A2, B1 or B2 certification, in case he/she has attended the last two years of primary school and the lower secondary school (middle school);
• a B1, B2, C1 or C2 certification, if he/she is enrolled in the upper secondary school (high school). 

During the same school year, the beneficiary must not benefit or have already benefited from other similar grants, with a value of more than 50% of the amount of the scholarship put up for competition and paid by: 

• INPS;
• the State;
• other public or private institutions, in Italy or abroad. 

The grant is incompatible with: 

• the one relating to the INPS Competition Tender for the scholarship "Language course abroad";
• the one obtained through the INPS Competition Tender for the scholarship "Language course in Italy", if the student is seeking the same level of certification as the language for which he intends to compete, according to the European reference framework.

The lower the ISEE value of the family unit, the higher the grant payable to the beneficiary will be. The grant will be determined as a percentage of the lowest amount, between the maximum scholarship amount and the cost of the language course.

In the event of failure to submit the DSU for the release of an ordinary ISEE or ISEE for minors, the score assigned will be the one corresponding to the maximum ISEE indicator class.

WHEN CAN I CLAIM?

Claims shall be submitted through the dedicated service of the INPS website, within the time limits laid down in the competition notice. 

Announcements and rankings can be found in the Welfare, Assistance and Mutuality section.

HOW CAN I CLAIM?

Before submitting a claim online, make sure of the following:

• being registered in the database;
• check that the PC has the correct configuration.

Even though certain persons are entitled to submit the claim, they are not recognised by the electronic system because they do not have institutional relations with the INPS Civil Servants’ Pension Scheme or cannot be classified as claimants (surviving parent of a child of a civil servant or pensioner, guardian of a child of a civil servant or pensioner or under-age student).

In this case, fill out the form for registration in the database, and deliver it directly to the competent INPS office in the area of residence of the young beneficiary.

Alternatively, the form can be submitted by:

• Certified e-mail (PEC/CEM);
• non-certified e-mail, also attaching a copy of the identity card;
• by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, attaching a copy of the identification document;
• fax, attaching a copy of the identification document.

In fact, even though certain persons are entitled to submit the claim, they are not recognized by the electronic system. This problem may occur for two reasons: 

• lack of institutional relationship with the INPS Civil Servants' Pension Scheme; 
• when the user cannot be classified as claimant (for example: surviving parent of a child of a civil servant or pensioner, guardian of a child of a civil servant or pensioner, or under-age student). 

If one of these situations occurs, request registration in the database, filling out the appropriate form, to be delivered directly to the competent INPS office in the area of residence of the young beneficiary.

Alternatively, the form can be sent: 

• by certified e-mail (CEM);
• by non-certified e-mail;
• by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, attaching a copy of the identity card;
• by fax, attaching a copy of the identity card. 

Addresses, fax numbers, e-mail accounts are available in Contacts.

Following the publication of the rankings of candidates admitted with reservations, claimants shall upload, through the dedicated service, a document certifying registration to a course with the characteristics specified in the competition announcement.
