General Terms and Conditions
Every year, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura announces the availability of scholarships for U.S. students to study the Italian language and culture in Italy, at various private schools throughout the country.
These scholarships usually provide either a free admission or a reduction on the prices of the language courses given in schools, academies and centers offering Italian for foreigners. Airfare and all additional expenses are the responsibility of the student. However, for those who require lodging, most schools provide accommodation at reasonable prices.
To apply for the scholarships, candidates must live in the Institute’s area of jurisdiction: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Priority will be given to those students that have attended ItalCultura.
