Soroptimist Scholarship



The name, Soroptimist, means "best for women," and that is what the organization offering this scholarship strives to achieve. Soroptimists are women at their best working to help other women to be their best.

The Women's Opportunity Awards program is Soroptimist's major service project. The awards improve the lives of women by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills, and employment prospects. The women, who provide the primary source of financial support for their families, may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, including books, childcare, and transportation.

Eligible applicants must be women who provide the primary financial support for their families and who are enrolled in, or have been accepted to, a vocational/skills training program or an undergraduate degree program.

The scholarship awards range anywhere from $3000 to $5000 dollars. This is a great opportunity so please take advantage of it!
