The Italian Mutual Benefit Association of Stroudsburg is pleased to announce the
availability of The Italian Mutual Benefit Association Scholarships for the 2011-2012
academic year.
These scholarships will each have a value of $1,500 and will be paid by the Association
directly to the student during the second semester of the freshman academic year. The
Association has authorized as many as three (3) scholarships for the 2011-2012 academic
year.
To be an eligible candidate for this scholarship, a student MUST BE:

scholarship winners, the Committee will place major emphasis on the essay “What My
Italian Heritage Means To Me.” Significant consideration is also given to the student’s
academic achievement as well as to co-curricular and community activities.
