The Tri-State Italian-American Congress visited St. Agnes Cathedral School to present a $25,000 donation designated for tuition scholarships benefiting students of Italian-American descent.
The gift, which was presented on Jan. 12, is part of a broader regional initiative by the Congress, which has donated more than $300,000 this year to Catholic schools across the Dioceses of Brooklyn/Queens, Rockville Centre, and New York. The funding helps offset tuition costs for families while supporting faith-based education and preserving Italian-American cultural heritage.
Founded in 1988, the Tri-State Italian-American Congress is a nonprofit organization serving Italian-American communities throughout New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Its mission centers on providing educational opportunities, supporting Italian studies programs, and funding charitable initiatives that benefit the community.
Through ongoing scholarship efforts and educational outreach, the organization continues to invest in future generations while reinforcing the cultural and educational values that define the Italian-American experience.
