Soroptimist International of Calaveras County (SICC) is
seeking applications for its Women’s Opportunity Awards. The Women’s Opportunity Awards program was
established in 1972 to assist women with the primary financial responsibility
for their families to obtain the skills-training and education necessary to
improve their employment status and standard of living for themselves and their
family. Each year, $1.5 million in club,
region and international funds are awarded to more than 1,500 women in
Soroptimist’s 19 member countries and territories. The women receiving these financial awards
may use them for any costs associated with their educational efforts, including
tuition, books, child care, and transportation.
The chosen recipient of SI of Calaveras County will also be considered
for additional awards at the regional and international levels. The application deadline is December 15,
2012.
