What is ISEE?

ISEE refers to the Equivalent Economic Situation Index. Please contact a Tax Assistance Center (CAFs) in order to calculate this.

How do you calculate the fees?

All students admitted to Mazza College benefit from discounted rates and have an economic benefit over the actual total cost of the residential and personal development services provided. The expected monthly contribution ranges from a minimum of € 330.00 to a maximum of € 800.00 and is individually calculated based on the economic situation of each student’s family as certified by ISEE and based on the variety of services offered by individual residences.

It is possible to request the calculation of your expected contribution before beginning the admissions process. Then, in the case of admission to the College, applicants who do not provide the proper ISEE documentation will be subject to pay the full rate.

When do I have to submit payment?

College fees are paid, for each academic year, in three separate rates with deadlines in November, February, and May.
