The Massimo Bonavita Scholarship, named after one of the founders of the Italian Cultural Center,  is offered to students of Italian Studies , in collaboration with leading Minnesota colleges and institutions, to provide financial support to offset expenses related to study abroad in Italy.
Scholarship offerings may vary each year and are subject to specific eligibility requirements.

 The 2024 scholarship was awarded to Brisa Yezzi-Woodley.

Ciao! I am from Maple Grove, Minnesota, born to an Italian-American mother and a Kiwi (New Zealander) father. I am double-majoring in Political Science and Italian Studies at the University of Minnesota. 

Reconnecting to our Italian heritage has been an important journey for my mother's side of the family.

I took Italian language courses to achieve that goal while studying at the University of Minnesota. Little did I know I would fall in love with studying its history, global impact, and modern culture.

I chose to study Italy's language and culture not only for my connection but also in hopes of building an international community.
