Istituto Italiano Di Cultura Prize For Proficiency In Italian

This cash prize of €200 is presented to University College Cork by the Istituto Italiano di Cultura and is awarded in connection with the Second Year Summer Examinations. The prize recognizes proficiency in Italian language studies at the undergraduate level. The prize is funded from endowments made by the donor to the University for awards to be made in perpetuity. The funds donated are invested, and the annual income is the amount available for the award. Due to fluctuation in the investment market, the amounts available from year to year may vary, upwards and downwards. Candidates whose native language is Italian are not eligible for this award. The prize is specifically targeted at current UCC students demonstrating excellence in Italian language studies during their second year examinations.
