Through the Sons of Italy Foundation® (SIF) and more than 650 state and local lodges, the Order Sons of Italy in America® (OSIA) has awarded nearly $50 million in scholarships to date.

U.S. citizens of Italian descent (at least one Italian or Italian American grandparent) enrolled in an under­graduate or graduate program at a four-year, accredited academic institution for the 2011 Fall term.

Previous SIF scholarship winners are not eligible.

Please note: Additional eligibility requirements may apply to specific scholarships. Be sure to check the eligibility requirements for each scholarship for which you wish to apply.
       

The SIF scholarships offered through this program require an application packet that includes: an application form, official transcripts through the December 2010 term, official standardized test scores for the past 5 years (i.e., ACT, SAT), and a non-refundable processing fee.

Important: All SIF scholarships offered also require additional application materials. You must check the requirements for each scholarship to be sure your application packet is complete. No incomplete application packets will be considered.

All application packets must be postmarked by February 28, 2011 to be considered.
