Financial Support for Study

Sylvia Heywood from Soroptimist International North Shore

The Educate to Lead Scholarship/Award is a joint initiative by Soroptimist International of North Shore and Soroptimist International of San Diego.

In its second year, this scholarship supports women who are the primary financial providers for their families. We believe in empowering women by providing financial assistance for their education, skills, and future employment prospects. The recipient can use the funds for tuition, books, transportation, or any other costs directly related to their education.

Eligibility:
• Women with dependents (e.g., children, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, grandparents)
• Struggling to meet family’s financial needs while attending school or a training programme.

We understand the unique challenges faced by women, and our selection process considers their financial need. Applicants are required to submit a personal statement, which remains confidential and accessible only to Soroptimist Club members and award judges.

Apply between 1 June and August 15 2023, by emailing sinorthshore@siswp.org or completing the online application. For more information, visit our Facebook page: Soroptimist North Shore.

Together, let’s empower women to lead through education.
