Educate to Lead Scholarship/Award

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 these 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.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
