Our organization provides students of Italian heritage, who demonstrate the financial need to pursue higher education, with annual scholarship funds.
The Board of Directors will be awarding $16,000.00 scholarships to be paid at $4,000.00 per year. The awards are renewable at $2,000.00 a semester provided the student maintains a 3.0 GPA. The scholarship is available to qualifying graduating high school seniors. As an enhancement to the scholarship award a “Matching Funds Scholarship Program” has been established. If any awardee will be attending one of the participating schools, the award may be increased through this program. A list of those schools is available on the Matching Funds Program page.
The criteria for the scholarship award are as follows:
- Student must demonstrate excellent academic performance.
- Student must demonstrate financial need.
- At least one parent must be of Italian heritage.
The final selection of the scholarship awardees rests with the Pittsburgh Italian Scholarship Fund Committee. Verification of all information is required. All information in the application is strictly confidential.
The application becomes complete and valid for consideration only when the following have been submitted:
- Scholarship Application
- Evaluation Form
- Family Information
