Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Franklin Square) and the Conference of Italian-American State Legislators are proud to announce that applications are now being accepted for the group’s annual scholarship program.

Four scholarships will be awarded to New York state resident college students or college-bound high school seniors. Two academic and two athletic scholarships will be awarded for 2023.

“It’s an incredibly inspiring and rewarding opportunity to be able to offer academic and athletic scholarship opportunities to so many deserving students and athletes across our state,” said Ra. “The New York Conference of Italian-American State Legislators works incredibly hard to ensure the funding of these scholarships and it is especially important during a time when the cost of higher education continues to rise.
