Call for Applications: Scholarship Program for Italian American Women

 

New York, NY – The National Organization of Italian American Women is now accepting applications for its annual Scholarship Program, which provides financial awards annually to highly qualified Italian American women enrolled in college and graduate school. Preferential consideration is given to applicants who have demonstrated excellence in fields of study of Italian language and/or culture.

Since 1980, NOIAW has awarded scholarships annually to women of Italian descent who have achieved academic success. While their academic passions vary, all of the scholarship winners share a strong connection to their Italian heritage and a history of academic excellence.

NOIAW is seeking applications from female students of Italian descent currently enrolled at an accredited US academic institution for undergraduate or graduate study. Applicants must be citizens of the United States and are required to demonstrate financial need. The minimum GPA required is 3.5.

Applications are available at NOIAW.org/scholarships and must be submitted by March 10, 2016. Scholarship winners will be notified in late March and will be invited to NOIAW’s 35th Anniversary Luncheon at the St. Regis New York on April 16, 2016. The scholarship program is funded by the National Organization of Italian American Women.
