Grant Application Amorcriolo Scholarship

Sometimes, the hardest thing about college or graduate school is paying for it. Scholarships, grants and work-study can help, but to fill the financial aid gap, most students will need to take out loans. The Amorcriolo Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit organization founded to provide grants to promote education within our Cape Verdean communities. The organization is comprised of members from the local community and school district. Scholarship funding is raised through personal donations as well as a variety of sponsored community events and activities.
