Save AP Italian

Save AP Italian

The Sons of Italy has joined a coalition of organizations working to preserve the Advanced Placement (AP) Program in Italian and has launched a nationwide fund-raising campaign to help fund this important language program.  

Despite its growing popularity in U.S. schools, the AP Program in Italian that OSIA helped establish in 2005 is in danger of being eliminated for lack of funds, according to the College Board which administers it. About $3 million are needed to save the program.
