The New York Conference of Italian-American State Legislators is now accepting applications for college scholarships for the 2023-2024 school year.

High school seniors and currently enrolled college students should consider applying for Two Academic and Two Athletic Scholarships, valued at $4,000 each. The winners will receive their awards at this year’s Italian American Day on Monday, May 22, in Albany and recipients must be present to accept them.

Requirements for the Academic Scholarship include the student’s grade point average, higher education interest and goals, community involvement and individual need. Students who apply for the Athletic Scholarship must also demonstrate athletic involvement, achievements and interest in continuing those activities in college.
