The Altadena/Pasadena branch of Soroptimist International is currently seeking qualified applicants for its annual Women’s Opportunity Award. Each year, Soroptimist International honors these deserving women and assists them with cash awards at various levels of the organization.
Recipients of the Women's Opportunity Awards, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles including poverty, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol abuse, may use the awards to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as books, childcare and transportation.
Eligible applicants must be women who provide the primary financial support for their families, and who are enrolled in or have been accepted to a vocational/ skills training program or an undergraduate degree program. Applicants must demonstrate financial need. Qualified applicants can access an online application at www.soroptimistaltapas.org by going to the ‘Apply for WOA’ page.
Soroptimist is an international volunteer organization for business and professional women who work to improve the lives of women and girls. For more information about Soroptimist International, visit www.soroptimist.org.
