SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Our scholarship programs grew out of a desire to improve the lives of Italian Americans. Between 1880 and 1920, over four million Italians immigrated to the United States. Our parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were among them. Today, over 20 million Americans claim Italian heritage. Since 1984, CCF has disbursed nearly $40 million in scholarships to students of Italian heritage who show success in their studies and involvement in their communities. We award these exceptional students with multi-year scholarships.
SUPPORT OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
A contribution to our general scholarship fund provides valuable tuition assistance to deserving Italian American students. A gift of any amount ensures our continuing investment in the education of our CCF Scholars, who you can learn more about, and watch interviews with former scholarship recipients, here.
