AWARDS

Women's Opportunity Awards
Soroptimist International of the Americas

Since 1972, Soroptimist International of the Americas has been helping women reclaim their dreams through the Women's Opportunity Awards - cash grants for women seeking to improve their employment status by gaining additional education and skills. The program was designed to provide assistance to women who serve as the primary breadwinners for their families.

The program begins on the club level, where award amounts vary. Club-level winners become eligible for region-level awards. Each year, three awards (one first-place $5,000 award and two $3,000 awards) are granted in each of Soroptimist's 29 regions. The first-place winner then becomes a candidate for one of three $10,000 finalist awards. Women's Opportunity Awards totaling almost $1 million are granted each year.
