### Call for support for rent payments
In order to support non-resident female and male students belonging to a family unit with an ISEE not exceeding 20,000 euros and who do not receive other public housing contributions for the reference period (January - August 2024), the Ministry of University and Research has established a fund aimed at providing a contribution for housing rental expenses incurred by these non-resident students, that is, those living in a place different from where the rented property is located. The total amount of the contribution due to each university will be determined by the Ministry of University and Research with a subsequent provision.

### Contribution to healthcare expenses
In order to support non-resident female and male students, the Ministry of University and Research has established a fund aimed at providing a contribution for healthcare expenses incurred by these non-resident students, defined as those residing in an Italian region different from the one where the university they are enrolled in is located. The contribution for the academic year 2024/25 is 250.00 euros and will be allocated based on the ranking position and until the assigned resources from the Ministry are exhausted.

### Awards for students and graduates
To reward deserving students, the University and other public or private entities periodically establish study and graduation awards: the vast majority are intended for graduates, but in some cases, those enrolled in bachelor's, master's, and single-cycle master's degree programs can also compete.
The procedures, requirements, and types of awards vary and are specified in the individual calls for applications, along with the contact information of the organizations issuing the competition.
