Rental contribution

The rental contribution is an increase in the scholarship amount for university students who are eligible for the Aliseo scholarship but who have not been allocated accommodation due to a lack of availability, or who attend courses where there is no AliSEO housing available.

It depends on the case:

• Before the publication of the final rankings (on the date foreseen by the announcement), it is not possible to choose between the rental contribution and the accommodation place. For this reason, all students who have received the expression of interest email for the allocation of accommodation must respond by the deadline indicated in the email. If the student gives up the accommodation, he/she will be considered as commuter for the scholarship pourpose and will not be eligible for the rental contribution.
• After the publication of the final rankings, if the student is subsequently contacted for a place in Aliseo’s accomodation and in the meantime has already signed a rental contract and requested the rental contribution, he will be able to freely choose between the rental contribution and the ALISEO university residence, without any risk or penalty.

To apply for this increase, known as the rental contribution, students must submit their application by 31/12/2025 exclusively via the online procedure, by visiting the website www.aliseo.liguria.it and entering in their student webdesk.

• Upload the registered rental contract which shows: that the duration also partially includes the period 1/10/2025 – 31/7/2026;
• The student applying for the benefit should be the holder of the contract. If they he/she is not the holder, he/she must be listed in the contract held by others, duly signed by the parties and registered.
• If the student has signed a contract for a guesthouse or residence/college/hostel that is not subject to registration, they must upload it by the deadline, clearly showing the clauses governing accommodation and the signature of the contract.

• The contract must be duly registered with the Agenzia delle Entrate and also any renewal must be registered, pursuant to law 9 December 1998, n. 431 “Regulations for the leases and release of properties used for residential use” and subsequent amendments and additions;
• A derogation from the duly registered contract is permitted in the case of a guest house or residence/college contract, not subject to registration, which in any case must contain the clauses governing the hospitality and subscription of the parties.

Accommodation must be in the same location as the student attends the course of study.

Every year Aliseo publishes on its website the start date for submitting applications and instructions on how to do so. The deadline is set by the announcement and falls on December 31st of each year.

If the rental contract does not cover all 10 months specified in the call for applications, it is possible to submit a second contract that starts from the expiry date of the first and runs until July, so as to cover the entire period required.

If the student is unable to sign a new contract or renew the previous one, only the months covered by the contract already submitted will be considered for reimbursement.

• To receive a refund of the Aliseo rental contribution, payments of the monthly fees must be made by bank transfer. Payment can also be made by third parties in favor exclusively of the tenant indicated in the contract as long as he/she reports the name of the student requesting the rental contribution in the reason for the bank transfer.
• The reference month must be indicated in the reason for payment.
• Cash payments are not accepted.
• The student is required to upload all receipts certifying monthly payments on the Student webdesk Page for the purposes of checks including payments made after the contribution has been paid

Payment of the rental contribution is made under the terms and in the manner of the second instalment of the grant for students enrolled in years subsequent to the first.

Payment of the rental contribution is made under the terms and in the manner of disbursement of the grant for students enrolled in the first years and students enrolled in doctoral courses and specialization schools.

• The amount of the rental contribution is determined by the number of months indicated on the rental contract or on the guest house or residence/college/hostel contract compared to the period of unavailability of the accommodation space calculated over ten months.
• Monthly payments are considered valid for the purpose of disbursement as long as the actual rental days are equal to or greater than fifteen.
• To receive it, the student must upload all receipts for rent payments to the Student Desk by August 31 (the date set by the notice).

If the documentation is not uploaded by December 31st, the student will lose the right to the rental contribution and will be considered a commuter for the scholarship pourpose.

If, following the checks, the student does not upload the payment receipts by August 31, 2026 or if a discrepancy is found regarding the number of months disbursed or to be
disbursed as rental contribution, the competent Service shall revoke the benefit of the rental contribution or recalculate the amount on the basis of the receipts actually held by the student. If the rental contribution has already been paid, students are required to return the amount for which they are not entitled.
