School Book Voucher: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn if your family qualifies for the School Book Voucher to help cover the cost of secondary school textbooks in Italy.

This scheme provides financial support to help families cover the rising costs of textbooks for students in secondary school.

Who it's for

This benefit is available to families with students enrolled in secondary school who meet specific low-income requirements, determined by your ISEE (an indicator used to measure a household's economic situation).

What you get

You can receive a voucher or a reimbursement to help pay for your student's school textbooks.

What it actually costs you

There is no direct fee to apply, but you will need to go through the application process with your local municipality. This usually happens during the late summer months.

The catch to know

The deadlines for applying are very strict, and because the process is managed at the local level, the specific dates and rules can vary depending on which municipality you live in.

How to apply

  1. Check your current ISEE status to ensure you meet the income requirements.
  2. Monitor your local municipality's announcements during the late summer.
  3. Submit your application through your municipality's official channels.
  4. Follow all local instructions to ensure you meet the specific deadline.
