Scholastic Opportunities

The Houston Caribbean Professional Association believes that every student can succeed if they have equitable access to resources and opportunities that cater to their needs, interests, and scholastic success. We believe that we are uniquely positioned to drive an impactful education-oriented platform that encourages academic success, civic stewardship, and enhanced cultural identity by connecting students to scholarship, internship, and career and professional development opportunities.
