Carlos J DaLomba Foundation
The Carlos J. DaLomba Foundation was established in September of 1993 in an effort to promote one of the primary goals of its namesake: to encourage Cape Verdean youths, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to better themselves through the pursuit of higher education. During his life, Carlos sought to encourage educational and spiritual advancement in the youths to whom he dedicated so much of his time. The Scholarship is intended to ensure that his efforts are recognized and continued.
