Italian Cultural Center Scholarships

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS AND COUNSELORS: 

Italian Cultural Center Scholarships are open to High School Seniors who are: 

• Children of ICC Members with a family membership

                                                OR 

• Grandchildren of ICC members

                                                OR 

• Children of non-ICC members who are of Italian descent, attending a High School in Western Massachusetts and sponsored by a member of the ICC. 

One additional scholarship, the Dante Alighieri Scholarship, is open to a student who qualifies under one of the above conditions and will also be studying the Italian Language as part of his/her college curriculum. 

Scholarship recipients are chosen by the ICC Scholarship Committee. Among the factors considered are academics, leadership, community service, financial need and membership in the Italian Cultural Center. Scholarship recipients receive a monetary award at a Scholarship Banquet held in the spring. 

All scholarship recipients are expected to make every effort to attend the Scholarship Banquet. However, if circumstances do not allow the recipient to attend the Banquet, a family member must attend in their place.

Please note that your name and photo will be used on our social media if you are selected.

A scholarship can be in your name, or as a memorial scholarship in honor of a family member or friend.
