Columbus Citizens Foundation, based in New York City, provides opportunities for advancement to deserving Italian-American students through various scholarship programs.

Columbus Citizens Foundation Scholarship Program was established in 1984 and is a highly competitive award. To apply for a scholarship, candidates must meet three key eligibility requirements regarding GPA, Italian heritage, and financial need.

Awards are available at the high school and college levels, as well as two medical school scholarships available - the Dr. Anthony S. Fauci Medical School Scholarship and the Morgagni Medical Society Scholarship.

Hello, we are looking for assistance to help my daughter, who is half Italian, finish high school at her American international school in Rome, Italy. She is also applying to college in the US, but her father left our family and I am struggling to pay for her tuition. She has excellent grades, and it is a Rome-based Catholic school. Thanks in advance.

Corin Scrudato

I have Bright Futures, which is a scholarship that covers tuition. Can this scholarship be used for meal plans, books, or housing?

My teachers are not receiving the request for letters of recommendation.  I have sent them twice.  Can I have them sent in somewhere?  I do not want to miss out on this opportunity.  Thank you.  

Julianna Krug

After completing the application, how do I submit? 

Natalie

Vestal Senior High School

The student who asked for a recommendation told me my recommendation hasn't been received, but when I logged in and uploaded my letter of recommendation, a message popped up that said I have already submitted a recommendation.  I am worried that he will miss the opportunity for a scholarship if something has gone wrong.

I have my application ready to submit except for the letters of recommendation.  I've sent requests to my teachers but they haven't responded yet.  Is there any way I can submit my application and send the letters of reference later?  I don't want to miss the deadline.  Thank you.
