"NAVIGATING NEW WATERS"

Caros membros da PAPS,
Este ano no fórum da PAPS comemoramos algo especial: o 10° aniversário da PAPS!
Em 10 anos a PAPS deixou de ser apenas um elo que liga os Portugueses que estudam nos EUA e passou a ser uma associação reconhecida por entidades públicas e privadas pelo impacto dos seus membros e pelos laços que mantêm com Portugal.

The four topics for the first funding round were also announced.
Initial grants through the Explorations initiative will be $100,000 each, and projects showing success will have the opportunity to receive additional funding of $1 million or more.
