Each year women who have primary financial responsibility for their families struggle to find decent paying jobs that might cover their expenses. Many of these women are motivated to increase their education or training but do not have the resources to do so. Maybe they have money for tuition, but that doesn’t cover childcare, transportation or books.
The Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Awards are designed to help these women. The Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Awards are cash awards given to women who are seeking to improve their economic status by gaining additional skills, training or education. These awards are not scholarships, but rather cash awards to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, including tuition, books, supplies, childcare or transportation costs. The program starts on a local level with a cash award of $2,000. It then goes on to regional and international competitions where the award money reaches $15,000.
The Soroptimist Women’s Opportunity Award is the major service project of Soroptimist International of the Americas. Soroptimist International of Desert Tucson is one of 1,500 clubs that make up Soroptimist International of the Americas, a volunteer organization for business and professional women committed to improving the lives of women and girls in local communities and throughout the world.
