Student benefits

For students enrolled in a Bachelor or Master of Science degree course, partial reimbursement of the travel pass is calculated according to a percentage, as shown in the tables below, which varies according to the students’ economic level assigned at the deadline (20^th December 2024). The percentage refers to the amount indicated on the purchase receipt for a maximum reference value of:

• € 208 for students assigned to the contribution level from 1 to 39;
• € 258 for students assigned to the contribution level from 40 to 75.

 The refund percentage is applied to:

1. the amount indicated on the purchase receipt if this amount is less than € 208/€ 258
2. the maximum expense value that the Polytechnic takes into account (above) if this amount is higher than € 208/€ 258.

In case of an application for both the reimbursement of the travel pass and the bike-sharing service subscription, the percentage will be applied to the sum of both values, up to the above-mentioned maximum limit.

Please note: students who are not eligible for a contribution reduction application because they benefit from a special economic treatment in accordance with the " REGOLAMENTO CONTRIBUZIONE STUDENTESCA DEL POLITECNICO DI TORINO A.A. 2024/2025" (e.g.: students with disabilities, students holding a scholarship from external bodies, etc.) must submit a valid ISEE/ISEE Parificato via the ticketing system with topic “PACCHETTO MOBILITA’ E CULTURA”, while applying for reimbursement no later than 20 December 2024. Otherwise, they will receive the reimbursement foreseen for the contribution level  75.

The maximum reimbursable sum for students enrolled in a PhD programme is fixed at € 125.

Please refer to Table 1 and Table 2 available here for the calculation of the amount that can be reimbursed for the transport passes.
