The America Giovani Award of the Italy-USA Foundation

The Italy-USA Foundation promotes the America Giovani Award for university talent, a recognition for deserving recent graduates from Italian universities. Alongside the America Award, the historic award given to the most prestigious figures of international renown, the America Giovani Award aims to annually recognize 1,000 talented Italians with excellent university studies in disciplines relevant to the Foundation, to provide concrete support as they enter the global workforce and tackle international challenges.
In addition to the award certificate, which will be presented at an institutional ceremony in Rome at the Chamber of Deputies, the young people will receive a fully covered scholarship to access the Italy-USA Foundation’s exclusive online master’s program in “Leadership for International Relations and Made in Italy” free of charge.
The winners of the America Giovani Award, who will attend the awards ceremony in the Italian Parliament, are selected by the Italy-USA Foundation, using the database of Italian universities, among recent graduates with a study plan relevant to the Foundation’s interests. They are selected based on various parameters indicative of their academic talent, including their degree score, age at graduation, average grade, graduation date, any experience abroad, academic record, and other comparative assessments. Self-nominations are not permitted.
