Scholarship Fund Established to Support First Generation Cameroonian Youth

Over twenty years ago, the Cameroonians of Lowell Association (CAMOLA) was started, with the hopes of bringing together all Lowell residents of Cameroonian descent to share their cultural heritage through engagement in cultural, economic, and community plans.
Over the past two decades, this motivated group has been able to support community improvement efforts in Lowell and Cameroon: CAMOLA has supported the Merrimack Valley Food Bank’s annual food drive, as well as an orphanage in Africa. Recently, CAMOLA established its first scholarship fund to support Cameroonian-American Lowell High School graduates in pursuing higher education.
Students must demonstrate a commitment to high academic standards, community service, and volunteerism. This is one of many LHS scholarships honoring cultural heritage that is administered by the Greater Lowell Community Foundation.
CAMOLA fundraised for nearly 3 years to create a scholarship fund that could support future generations of students with a Cameroonian or other sub-Saharan African background. To grow the fund, CAMOLA rode in the GLCF’s River Ride Bike-a-Thon on September 27th. Learn more about GLCF scholarship funds.

CAMOLA is over twenty years young and going strong – thanks to the dedication of its members and friends. CAMOLA celebrated its tenth (10th) anniversary in grand style in 2002, with a massive turnout of the communities in and around Massachusetts; and the event was graced by the presence of His Royal Highness Fon Angwafo II of the Mankon Tribe of Cameroon.
Camola is a regular participant in The City of Lowell’s Annual City of Lights Parade & Holiday Celebration. This is a very festive family event during – lots of lights, music, floats, live performers. Camola also prepares food and serves regularly at the Eliot Presbyterian Church’s Community Table. This is a weekly event and open to anyone in the community who may not have enough to eat.
Another worthwhile cause for Camola is participating in the annual Pantry Raid – A Neighborhood Food Drive” The Merrimack Valley Food Bank is a community-supported 501C-3 non-profit organization that provides nutritious food and personal care items to emergency feeding programs serving the low-income, homeless and hungry. We are one of four food banks in Massachusetts that serves food pantries, shelters, and meal programs that in turn, serve individuals and families”
