INPS launches 2026 language course bonus for eligible students

The Italian National Institute of Social Security (INPS) is offering a language‑course bonus for the 2026‑27 school year. Up to 6,100 grants of €800 each will fund extracurricular foreign‑language classes for students who attended the final year of primary or secondary school in 2025‑26 and are children or orphans of public‑administration employees or pensioners.

The aid covers partial tuition for courses that lead to a CEFR‑aligned language certification (A2 to C2). Courses must run between September 2026 and June 2027, last at least four months and include a minimum of 60 instructional hours. Applications can be submitted by the right‑holder (parent or legal guardian), the beneficiary (the student) or an authorized representative, as defined in the programme guidelines.
