If you’re Italian and graduating from Salida High School or Horizons Exploratory Academy this spring, listen up — there could be a $500 scholarship for you, but you’ll need to act now.

The Sons of Italy offers a scholarship every spring to high school graduates to be used towards College or a Trade/Vocational School. Students must be graduating this May 2024 and must be of Italian heritage. Applicants are being asked to complete a personal statement, giving a brief history of their Italian heritage, why they are proud to be Italian-Americans, and why they deserve the scholarship.

Students should include their name, address, email and phone number, as well as their personal statement, 1-2 referral letters, a resume including work and volunteer experience and high school transcripts, showing the classes they took while in high school and their grades.

Students should email their information to mlpuj6@gmail.com no later than April 1, 2024. Please include “Sons of Italy Scholarship” in the subject line.  If a student applies who goes to Salida High , that student can also give their application to their High School Counselor.

The review committee will evaluate all applications after April 1. A scholarship winner will be chosen and contacted in May.
