Students whose family lives abroad, with income and assets only abroad, pay a fixed yearly contribution set by the family's country group, whatever their citizenship; the ISEE route, the no-tax area and ISEE reductions do not apply. The ADISU Puglia scholarship, which brings a full fee exemption, uses the family's own certificates instead. Source: UniBa, fee regulation 2026/27 (international students).

Worked example: A first-year student from India whose family lives and earns only in India pays the fixed 2026/27 contribution for India's country group, whatever the family income. We work out the exact figure for you before enrolment. If the student wins or is eligible for an ADISU Puglia scholarship, the contribution is waived in full, so we prepare that application and the family certificates with you, and you submit it from your own ADISU account.
