Posted on 03/28/2026

Full-time post-high school students (vocational, community college, or university) up to age 25 who are House of Italy members or directly related to a member—regardless of Italian heritage—are eligible to apply, provided they are enrolled in an accredited institution.

While a major or minor in Italian Studies is not required, an applicant’s course of study will be considered.

Previous recipients may reapply, but priority will be given to first-time applicants.

Two $1,000 scholarships will be awarded, with the possibility of additional awards at the Board’s discretion, and all recipients must meet eligibility criteria.

Winners will be announced at the June 21, 2026 membership dinner, with checks mailed afterward, and recipients are encouraged to attend as guests of the Board.
