University Student Prizes

Every year in collaboration with local universities, the Dante Alighieri Society offers prizes to high achieving students of Italian to assist with their studies. Students who demonstrate academic excellence and a strong commitment to learning Italian are selected by University Italian staff and presented at our Presentation of Excellence Awards, held annually in March. The prevision of these scholarships is made possible by the generosity of the family of the late Prof. Colin McCormick, of the Santoro family and of Italian Club Cavour.
