Circolo Italo-Americano Corenese Club (CIAC) was founded in Cleveland, OH in 1958. The vision of the club is to preserve and promote our Italian American culture through various activities. We instill this within the youth of our community as well.  Over 10 years ago, we created a scholarship fund designed to help students of Italian heritage to move forward in their studies.  

The decision of the selected student recipient(s) of this scholarship will be based on an unbiased and objective committee evaluation of the responses submitted to the following qualifications.  Included in the decision process will be an assessment of the interest and involvement that the applicant demonstrates towards the preservation and promotion of our Italian heritage and culture.
