The Italian Catholic Federation (I.C.F.) is a National Roman Catholic Fraternal Organization composed of persons of Italian ancestry (including their non-Italian spouses) who are of the Roman Catholic Faith.
One of the many programs of the Federation is to offer college scholarships to further the education of students who achieve a total cumulative GPA (3 ½ years) of at least 3.2 and meet all of the requirements in either #1 or #2: 1) Are Roman Catholic and of Italian Descent and live within the Roman Catholic Dioceses of California, Illinois and Reno in Nevada, only where Branches of the Federation are established. or 2) if either Roman Catholic parent, guardian or grandparent is a member of the Italian Catholic Federation, the student must be Roman Catholic but need not be of Italian Descent or live where Branches of the Federation are established – membership of a Roman Catholic parent, guardian or grandparent is mandatory for #2.
We invite you and interested students to go to our website at www.icf.org and download the printable application, or you may now complete the scholarship form, attach the required documentation and submit your scholarship application online. Also available on the site, along with the application, is a flyer that can be posted to notify students of the availability of these scholarships. If you or your students have any questions, you can call our office at 1-888-423-1924. The application deadline is April 1, 2024.
It is our belief that through your dedication to the education of our young people, and our interest in providing financial assistance to graduating seniors entering college, that together we can help our youth meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Carmen Kilcullen
Chairperson, Scholarship Committee
