It's a small annual regional tax paid by university students in Italy alongside their tuition. The amount varies by region and helps fund DSU scholarships, student housing, and meal services.
Even students who qualify for full scholarships usually have to pay this regional tax. The cost is small but it's a separate line from tuition.
Some regions tier the tax by ISEE. Make sure you upload your ISEE before the deadline so you're not charged the highest bracket by default.
