Financial Support for Study
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.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
