[Plsugs] SCHOLARSHIP - Italian American Scholarships

[Quist, Tanya M - (tquist)]

Dear Students,
Every year, the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) offers scholarships to deserving Italian American students to help lessen the financial burden incurred in the process of continuing their education.  As per our donors' requests, our scholarships are targeted towards students from a wide variety of disciplines, geographic areas and at certain cases designated to students of specific institutions.

The Eleanor and Anthony DeFrancis Scholarship is a scholarship that we offer to an outstanding Italian American student majoring in a pure natural science or related field attending the California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or the University of Arizona.  Eligible candidates must also demonstrate financial need by uploading their FAFSA onto their application.

To be considered for a NIAF scholarship, a student must meet the following criteria:

* Be a member of NIAF or have a parent who is a member of NIAF.

* Be a United States citizen or a permanent resident alien.

* Have at least one ancestor who has immigrated from Italy.

Interested students should go to http://www.niaf.org/programs/scholarships-overview/ where you will find instructions on how to apply.  While our regular scholarship cycle closed on March 1st 2017, in the interest of receiving applications for the most qualified candidates we are reopening the application just for the 2017-2018 Eleanor and Anthony DeFrancis Scholarship.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me an e-mail at jstreisfeld at niaf.org<mailto:jstreisfeld at niaf.org> or call my direct line at (202)939-3114.

Sincerely,
Julia Streisfeld
