Women's Opportunity Awards Improve Lives of Women and Families


Soroptimist's Women's Opportunity Awards offer women heads of household, who provide the primary source of financial support for their families, the opportunity to achieve their career goals. Women's Opportunity Awards are for women who are attending, or have been accepted to, a vocational/skills training program, or an undergraduate degree program for a first degree. These awards are not tied to scholarship and may be used for any expenses related to educational pursuits. SIFC presented one $1000 award to Karissa and one $500 award to Lisa. Local winners advance to region competition for two $3000 and one $5000 award. Region awardees compete for three $10,000 federation awards.

Also shown above are recipients of Soroptimist's Ruby, and SIFC's Living Her Dream Awards.
