Italian Studies Program – Our Scholarship Winners
The ICD Scholarship Program is an important part of our Club’s outreach. It follows our mission statement “to preserve the Italian language, culture and traditions.”
Through this program, the ICD annually awards a scholarship to a student studying in Italy. This year the ICD Board agreed to offer two $1000 scholarships, one for a University of Dallas student and one to a student with our new partner SMU.
Each recipient has an enthusiasm for the Italian language and culture, participates in a study program in Italy, exemplifies scholarship, and studies Italian as a declared major or minor.
Special Olympics of North Texas
The Italian Club of Dallas has been a proud supporter of the Special Olympics of North Texas for over 25 years!
ICD volunteers look forward every year to officiating at the Bocce game competition of Special Olympics in the DFW area.
The ICD sponsored Bocce Tournament at the annual DFW Italian Festival raises money in support of Special Olympics.
Our Neighbors are Family
Food and family are core elements of being Italian. The ICD supports the North Texas Food Bank with food donations during the year, particularly at Christmas and St Joseph’s Day.
