Scholarship Award Winners 2022

The Gold Country Sons and Daughters of Italy located in El Dorado Hills, CA, is proud to announce the winners of our 2022 Scholarships. They and their families were guests at our lodge’s annual May ravioli dinner meeting. Each student, who was awarded the Italian Heritage Scholarship, shared the stories of their heritage, immigration, and success in the United States of America. They also shared their career plans. Thanks to successful fundraisers (Bocce tournaments and local restaurants support), each student was awarded $500. Abriana Stewart completed the four-year Italian language classes at Oakridge High School with exemplary performance to earn the Italian Language Scholarship. She will be attending the University of Southern California majoring in design and hopes to spend a semester of foreign exchange in Florence for fashion design leading to a career in the garment industry. Steven Nardinelli, Anna Cerdan and Camry Schoenahl received the Italian Heritage Scholarships. Steven attended Folsom High School and will major in Hospitality and Business at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. He plans to pursue a career with the airlines. Anna attended Folsom High School and will attend Boise State with a major in Kinesiology and plans to be a physical therapist. Camry attended El Dorado High School and will be heading north to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. She plans to study emergency management with a focus in public health and safety.
