Lodging contribution for Doctoral students

The University of Trento allocates doctoral students € 100/month as a contribution to lodging expenses. The Autonomous Province of Trento may allocate an extra €100/ month. This further amount will automatically be paid by the University of Trento in case of available resources.

REQUIREMENTS:

1) to be enrolled in the 1^st, 2^nd or 3^rd year of a UNITN Doctoral Programme (including “co-tutèlle de thèse” programmes) or in the 1^st extension year. Doctoral students who submitted the request for final exam are NOT eligible for the contribution.

2) to have the official “residenza” in a town considered  “fuori sede” (see Chart 1 to the “Provisions to award accommodation contribution” at the bottom of this page).

 - Italian students who have moved their official residence to the Province of Trento AFTER enrolling in the Doctoral School;

3) to have a lodging contract in the town where the doctoral school has its seat or in one of the “Commuter” towns (see the Table 1 to the Provisions to award lodging contribution). The contract must be officially registered by the “Agenzia delle Entrate”.

The contribution for the whole academic year  is paid in two installments:
1^st installment: within the end of May (covering the number  of months from the beginning of the academic year until April)
2^nd installment: within the end of November (covering the number  of months from May until the end of the academic year)

IMPORTANT: The contribution is allocated for the months actually covered by the  lodging contract or for fractions above 15 days within a given month.  Doctoral students enrolled in the 1^st year, can apply for the contribution starting from the date of enrolment (unless they were still enrolled in other UNITN courses at the time).
