Marissa Calfe Snyder (2005, 2006, 2007 scholarships) studied Italian at the University of Bologna for a year, then went on to complete a Fulbright Scholarship in Salemo, Italy. After two years abroad, she returned home to Pittsburgh where she began a writing career in advertising. Marissa currently lives with her husband in Chicago, where she works as a copywriter and layout artist at McMaster-Carr Industrial Supply Company.
"The APD Scholarship helped me achieve my dream of living abroad in Italy. Thanks to your generosity, I was able to live and work there for two years, exploring the culture, traveling to different cities, and making new friends who I still keep in touch with today. The experience changed my life, and I am so grateful to have been afforded this opportunity."
