Ente Per Il Diritto Allo Studio Universitario

What Ente Per Il Diritto Allo Studio Universitario does

Ente Per Il Diritto Allo Studio Universitario (ESU Molise) is a public law entity (ente di diritto pubblico) established by Regione Molise in 1995 under Legge Regionale n.21 of 9 January 1995, with legal personality, its own patrimony, and administrative and management autonomy. Its mandate is to guarantee and promote the right to university study by providing financial benefits and support services to University of Molise students, with particular emphasis on those who are academically meritorious but lack financial means (capaci e meritevoli ma privi di mezzi). The entity is headquartered at the University of Molise campus in Campobasso (Faculty of Agriculture building), with additional offices in Isernia and Termoli, and operates with approximately 32 employees.

Its core offering is an integrated student welfare platform built around four products: the Borsa di Studio (merit- and need-based scholarship), the Servizio Mensa (subsidized dining at a contracted restaurant network), the Servizio Abitativo (housing contributions for out-of-town students living more than 50 km from the university), and the Rimborso Tassa Regionale (regional university tax refund). The supporting digital infrastructure is the Urbi platform at cloud.urbi.it — operated by PA Digitale Adriatica — which delivers Servizi Online (SOL) for applications and payments, the Bacheca On Line for downloading the Certificazione Unica (CU) for tax purposes, and access to ranking lists (Graduatorie). All student-facing access requires SPID or CIE authentication.

The revenue model is structurally dual. Primary funding is annual allocations from Regione Molise combined with national transfers including PNRR funds, while a secondary transactional stream comes from income-indexed student contributions for dining services, calculated across eight ISEE brackets (students without ISEE certification default to the highest bracket). Pricing for the mensa is therefore subscription-style on an annual cadence but consumption-based in practice. Distribution is fully institutional: annual bandi di concorso drive application volume, communications flow through the University of Molise, and service delivery runs through the digital portal plus a contracted restaurant network across the three regional campuses.
