PALCUS Sets Goal to Raise $10,000 by December 31st to Seed Scholarship Fund - Can you spare $10 for Scholarships?

Launched in September of this year, the PALCUS Scholarship Program was established with the purpose of providing nationwide, merit-based scholarships in support of Portuguese American students in the pursuit of their higher education goals.

The goal of the PALCUS Scholarship Fund is to develop a stream of funding that will provide for one or more students to benefit from substantial scholarship awards each year.

We are asking you, the community, to help us establish a strong base for this Fund so that we can provide substantial scholarships that will have a real impact on their ability to afford higher education.

With your donation of just $10, we can reach our goal of $10,000 to help seed the PALCUS Scholarship Fund by December 31st!

100% of your donation will go to the Scholarship Fund.
