IBC FOUNDATION SCHOLARSHIPS

IBC Foundation Board

A message from Claude Bonfiglio

      

 On behalf of the IBC Foundation, it is our continued honor and pleasure to be able to offer and award a scholarship to deserving students of Italian Ancestry. The IBC Foundation has always supported and recognized young scholars for their hard work and achievements. As a nation, our faith and confidence has always been in the vision and energy that the next generation brings to us all. The IBC Foundation appreciates the opportunity to be able to help our scholarship recipients through donations that are made from individuals and other organizations. The more we receive in donations, the more we are able to give forward in scholarships. 

Wishing health, happiness and peace. 


Grazie

Claude Bonfiglio

The IBC Foundation had it's largest number of scholarship  applications for 2019.  Narrowing down an outstanding field of applicants was  difficult and so the board decided to award four scholarships. Each student will receive $1750.00 towards their  selected school.
