Today, Assemblyman Angelo J. Morinello (R,C,I,Ref-Niagara Falls) announced the New York Conference of Italian American State Legislators is accepting applications for its annual college scholarship contest. The Conference will be awarding four $3,000 scholarships to future and current college students. Two of these will be awarded for academic achievements and two will be awarded for athletic achievements.

“The cost of college is becoming more expensive throughout the country, and I’m willing to do everything I can to help students and reward them for their continued hard work,” said Morinello. “It is a great privilege to award scholarships to our incredible young adults. I commend my colleagues in the New York Conference of Italian-American State Legislators for continuing this tradition each year.”
