The Italian American Baseball Foundation (IABF) and Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) of the Order Sons and Daughters of Italy in America (OSDIA) fraternal organization have partnered on a scholarship matching program to recognize one student-athlete each year who meets the requirements in the classroom, on the field and in heritage.

Each year the IABF will pick a deserving college baseball or softball player who meets scholarship requirements and has Italian heritage. The SIF will match the amount. The student was recognized at the SIF gala in May 2022 and the IABF gala in December 2022.
