The Louisiana American Italian Sports Hall of Fame was formed to recognize the American Italians of Louisiana who, for generations, have participated and excelled in sports. Each year an annual induction gala honors one national sports figure and inducts outstanding Louisiana athletes, both past and present, into the Hall of Fame. Proceeds benefit the American Italian Cultural Center, and scholarships for college-bound high school seniors excelling in academics and athletics.

The AIRF awards scholarships annually to deserving seniors in high school. The scholarships are presented each year at the Louisiana American Italian Sports Hall of Fame Gala. The recipient must be of Italian heritage, have participated in sports at the high school level and will attend college in the fall (American Italian Cultural Center)."
