Club Italiano Dante Alighieri can grant scholarships directly to some deserving students. Applications for such scholarships should be accompanied by a Curriculum Vitae with list of qualifications and a letter of reference from a teacher of Italian who should also give an assessment of the student’s knowledge of the language.
