INPS opens applications for university master's degree contributions

The Italian National Social Security Institute (INPS) has opened applications for contributions to support university master's degrees and specialization courses for the 2026/2027 academic year. The deadline for submissions is October 22, 2026, at 12:00 PM via the INPS welfare portal.

These funds are specifically designated for the children of certain categories of workers and pensioners, including those in the Unified Management of credit and social benefits and the Magistral Assistance Management. The support can cover enrollment fees up to a maximum of 10,000 euros, though the actual amount awarded depends on the student's ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) and specific call requirements. Rankings for the contributions will be determined based on the student's university degree grade and their ISEE score.
