Nick and Helena Patti Foundation Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans
Scholarship Overview: The Joint Civic Committee of Italian Americans (JCCIA), in collaboration with the Nicholas and Helena Patti Foundation Scholarship Fund, is delighted to present scholarships to individuals of Italian descent. These scholarships are specifically designed to provide financial assistance to college students who are either orphans or have been raised in foster homes, with a focus on those pursuing studies in music or education. While students beyond their freshman year studying music may be given preference, the scholarship is also open to students in other fields of study. Additionally, preference may be extended to orphaned individuals who aspire to achieve their personal and professional goals through higher education. The scholarship is merit-based, taking into account both academic achievement and talent.
Eligibility Criteria: While music majors are given primary consideration, students from other disciplines are also encouraged to apply. Ideal candidates should have a strong academic record, demonstrate musical talent (if applying as a music major), exhibit leadership skills, show commitment to serving their Italian-American community, and be residents of Illinois. The selection of scholarship recipients is based on academic merit, talent, the quality of their JCCIA application, commitment to education, intended degree area, among other relevant factors.
Scholarship Amount: The scholarship may award up to $6500.00 as a one-time grant.
Application Procedure: Interested candidates are required to submit a fully completed JCCIA scholarship application along with any necessary documentation as specified on the application form. All materials must be submitted by the deadline indicated below. The application form can be found on the JCCIA website and should be completed and submitted electronically to jcc@jccia.com as a single PDF file. Failure to do so may result in the application being rejected.
Application Deadline: Applicants must submit a fully completed JCCIA scholarship application along with the required documentation between June 1, 2025, and the final deadline of November 1, 2025, to be considered for the scholarship.
Award Notification: Successful applicants will be notified by the JCCIA by December 1, 2025, and will be required to attend the December JCCIA meeting/reception for the scholarship award presentation.
