Italian Catholic Federation First Year Scholarship


Name: Italian Catholic Federation First Year Scholarship

Award Amount: $1,000

Information And Eligibility: The Italian Catholic Federation (ICF) offers scholarships to Roman Catholic high school students of Italian descent who have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.2. Applicants must be entering freshmen at an accredited college or university. While Italian descent is a primary criterion, students of non-Italian descent may also apply if a parent, guardian, or grandparent is a member of the ICF. The scholarship is payable upon proof of full-time enrollment, and recipients may be eligible to apply for advanced scholarships in their sophomore through senior years, provided they maintain a GPA of 3.2 or higher.

Application Requirements:

  • Completed application form
  • Official high school transcript
  • Proof of Roman Catholic faith (e.g., baptismal certificate)
  • Proof of Italian descent or ICF membership
  • Personal statement (maximum 500 words) detailing educational goals and the significance of Italian heritage or ICF membership
  • Two letters of recommendation from teachers or community leaders

Selection Criteria: Applicants are evaluated based on academic achievement, financial need, involvement in extracurricular activities, and their commitment to their faith and heritage. The selection committee seeks well-rounded students who demonstrate a balance of scholastic excellence and community engagement.

Deadline: April 1
