2012 Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards Program

Applications are now available for the Soroptimist Award. This is not a scholarship, but a $1,800 cash award to offset any costs associated with attaining higher education. (tuition, books, supplies, childcare, transportation).

In addition, it then goes on to regional and international competitions where the award money reaches $15,000.

To access, please Google 2102 Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards Program.

Although the local award (four will be offered this year) of $1,800 is pretty great, think beyond that to the $15,000. BUT, come in for help with your statement if you are planning on competing on the regional and international level. Your application needs to shine in order to be competitive.

This award is specifically for women who have primary financial responsibility for their families.

Deadline is December 15, 2011.
