Our scholarship program gives Italian American women the opportunity to achieve their dreams of higher education.

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 Italian studies, education, and language.
Since 1980, NOIAW has awarded scholarships annually to accomplished women of Italian descent. While their academic passions vary, all of the scholarship winners share a strong connection to their Italian heritage and a history of academic excellence.

Applicants must be currently enrolled in 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

The scholarship application deadline is March 18, 2022.

All applicants will be notified at the end of April 2022.

Winners should try to be present at NOIAW’s Annual Luncheon in New York where the scholarship awards will be presented (whether in person or virtually).
