||| FROM HEATHER SPAULDING for SOROPTIMIST FRIDAY HARBOR |||
Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor is now accepting applications for its women’s educational and training awards, to be given in the Spring of 2022. Two types of awards are available for women residing in San Juan County, each with differing eligibility requirements.
The ‘Educational Opportunity Award’ helps women in overcoming personal difficulties and bettering their lives through education and training. The recipient may use the cash award to offset any costs of her education or training, such as tuition, books, childcare, or transportation. This $2000 award is for women who are enrolled in, or accepted into, an undergraduate degree or career training program, and who can demonstrate financial need.
The ‘Fellowship Award’ of $3000 is given to a woman who is established in a profession or business, and who is returning to school for postgraduate study at an accredited college or university leading to an advanced degree.
Applications for both awards must be postmarked by February 25, 2022.
Soroptimist members, their immediate family members, and past Soroptimist award winners are not eligible for these awards.
For details and information on how to apply, please visit the Soroptimist International of Friday Harbor website at www.sifri.org.
