Scholarships to study Italian language and culture in Italy

General Terms and Conditions

Every year, the Istituto Italiano di Cultura makes available a number of scholarships for U.S. students to study Italian language and culture in Italy, at various private schools throughout the country.

The scholarships provide either a free admission or a reduction on the prices of the language courses in schools, academies and centers offering Italian classes for foreigners. Airfare and all additional expenses are the responsibility of the student. Students can inquire directly with the school about available lodging options.

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.
