The National Organization of Italian American Women Scholarship

Since 1980, the National Organization of Italian American Women (NOIAW) has awarded scholarships annually to women of Italian descent who have achieved academic success. While their academic passions vary, all of their scholarship winners share a strong connection to their Italian heritage and a history of academic excellence. NOIAW give preferential consideration to applicants who have demonstrated excellence in fields of study of Italian language and/or culture. In view of their relationship with CUNY, they give special consideration to current students of CUNY.
