In conjunction with SI San Diego (one of our Friendship Links) SI North Shore are providing an ‘Educate to Lead Award’ to a woman who is the primary financial carer for her family. The award will give some financial support to help further her education skills and employment prospects in the future. The recipient may use the funds provided in any way which directly supports her costs to support her to attain higher education skills or a formal qualification. This may include but is not restricted to fees, books, transport or tuition. So that the recipient is able to focus on her studies rather than the challenge of finding the costs involved.
