Dear Student of Italian;

Thank you for your interest in the Dante Alighieri Society scholarship program. As an international Italian cultural society, we understand the importance, as well as the expense, of studying abroad in Italy. Therefore, for the thirty-third year in a row, the Dante Society will be awarding scholarships to those students who, in our estimation, will continue to bring to life the historical importance, classical beauty and romantic language of Italy.

Please fill out the attached application and return it, along with all other required information to the email address indicated no later than April 21, 2018. Scholarships will be awarded on May 6, 2018. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
