Usually all candidates admitted to a SISSA PhD program are awarded a fellowship. The exact gross amount of the fellowship can change from time to time (usually it's increased) but at the end you'll get (around) 1000 euros per month. For 2011 the gross amount is € 12,638.48 (yearly) and each month a PhD student gets € 1,035.27 net. Starting from 01.01.2012 each Phd student fellowship will be increased of 100 euros per month, from 1.035,27 to 1.135,27.
Apart from the fellowship, SISSA awards each year a contribution towards living expenses (€ 100.00 per month up to a maximum of € 1,200.00 per year) provided that you show a registered rent contract.
Your fellowship is considered by Italy a tax-free income hence your personal income in Italy is - considering only this fellowship and the other contributions from SISSA, that are not regarded as tax free in principle - so low that you (usually - but still you have to check) don't reach the income threshold required to pay taxes in Italy.
The fellowship is paid around the 25th of each month: you can choose to collect directly the money from the bank used by SISSA (Unicredit Bank at the ICTP Enrico Fermi building in Miramare) or to open a bank account (in whichever bank you prefer) and to get the fellowship paid into it.
It is possibile for first year students to get the first month fellowship at the beginning of their PhD and, in particular cases, also the second month fellowship. It is a remarkable possibility for those students coming from far countries and in need of an immediate bunch of money at their arrival (for futher info contact Riccardo Iancer - Student Secratariat).
