Celebrating Excellence & Education
ACAPO and its member organizations are proud to invest in the future of the Luso-Canadian community. To date, we have awarded over 200 scholarships to deserving students who demonstrate academic excellence and a commitment to their heritage. Join us as we continue this tradition of giving at our upcoming Scholarship Gala on March 28.
