Our scholarship recipients have diverse interests and pursue degrees in a wide range of fields. The common denominator shared by all recipients is that they are Italian American women in need of additional support to pursue the education of their choice.

Scholarships are awarded every year. The Hon. Geraldine A. Ferraro Endowed scholarship, made possible by The Rotondaro Family, is awarded to an eligible Italian American Woman pursuing an advanced degree in Law. A scholarship award is also reserved for an undergraduate or graduate student of The City University of New York system. Remaining scholarships are reserved for matriculating undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree.
