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.

The scholarships, one-time awards in the amount of $1000.00, are presented in August of each year to two (2) individuals selected from among that year's applicants.  All applicants must be:                            1) Of Cape Verdean descent;                                                                                                                                              2)  High school seniors (attending school in RI or MA); AND,                                                                                 3)  Accepted to at least one (1) post-secondary educational institution for the coming academic year.  (The award recipients will be required to verify acceptance to at least one (1) such school.)
