It is an important mission of the National Organization of Italian American Women to help with the educational advancement of Italian American Women. Since its inception in 1980, NOIAW has awarded over 100 scholarships to deserving candidates.

Our scholarship recipients have diverse interests and pursue degrees in a wide range of fields. The common denominator shared by all recipients is that they are Italian American women in need of additional support to pursue the education of their choice.

Currently, NOIAW awards 5 scholarships each year. The Hon. Geraldine A. Ferraro Endowed scholarship, made possible by The Rotundaro Family, is awarded to an eligible Italian American Woman pursuing an advanced degree in Law. The remaining four scholarships are reserved for matriculating undergraduate and graduate students pursuing a degree.
