Soroptimists seek applications for two awards

Posted January 29, 2022 at 7:43 pm by

Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor is accepting applications for two educational and training awards available to women living in San Juan County.

The $2,000 Educational Opportunity Award was established for women enrolled in, or accepted into, an undergraduate degree or career training program. Its purpose is to help women overcome personal difficulties and improve their lives through education and training. The recipient may use the cash award to offset education or training costs, such as tuition, books, childcare, or transportation. Applicants must be able to show their financial need.

The $3,000 Fellowship Award is awarded to a woman returning to school for postgraduate study at an accredited college or university leading to a Master’s degree or Ph.D.

Applications for either award must be postmarked by Friday, Feb. 25. The winners will be selected some time in the spring.

Soroptimist members, their immediate family members, and past Soroptimist award winners are not eligible.

Application and reference forms are available on the Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor website.
