T. Tishler

I am deeply honored and grateful to be selected as a recipient of the Patrons of Italian Culture Grant Award. As someone who has grown up with strong ties to Italy, this recognition holds special meaning. I take great pride in my Italian heritage, and receiving this scholarship affirms the values and cultural identity that have shaped me.

I am incredibly honored to have been selected as a recipient of a Scholarship.

This fall, I will be attending Boston College, where I plan to major in Political Science and minor in Italian. My academic path reflects both my career aspirations and my cultural roots. Through my Italian studies, I hope to strengthen my language skills and explore Italy's political and cultural influence on global affairs. Long-term, I aim to work in an international setting where I can promote cross-cultural understanding and highlight the richness of Italian heritage.

Thank you again for your generosity and belief in my future. As one of five brothers all pursuing higher education, this scholarship provides meaningful support and encouragement. I am truly grateful for this investment in my academic journey.
