Cash for Women’s Education

Ladies, are you trying to improve life for yourself and your family?  Are you going back to school?  Do you need financial assistance to complete your education?  Do you need cash for college?  How much?  $500?  $1,000?  $3,000?  How about $10,000? 

Since 1972, Soroptimist has been helping women the world over reclaim their dreams through the Women’s Opportunity Awards program.  This program provides cash grants to women who are working to better their

lives through additional skills training and education.

You are eligible to apply for the Women’s Opportunity Awards program if you are a woman and:

•         Have primary financial responsibility for yourself and your dependants,

•         Attend an undergraduate degree program or a vocational skills training program, and

• Have financial need.
