WOMEN'S OPPORTUNITY AWARDS

The Women's Opportunity Awards program is Soroptimist's major women's education project. Through the program, clubs in 19 countries and territories assist women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education, skills, and employment prospects.

This program provides cash grants to women who are working to better their lives through additional skills training and education.  Soroptimist International of Benicia will award $1500 to the winner.  Deadline for application is December 15, 2010.

You are eligible to apply if you are:

• A woman with primary financial responsibility for yourself and your dependants
• Attending an undergraduate degree program or a vocational skills training program
• Have financial need
