We offer scholarships and awards to local women and girls!
Live Your Dream Awards
Live Your Dream awards (formerly Women's Opportunity Awards) are cash awards that recipients may use for any expenses related to their educational pursuits. These include tuition and books, housing, child care and transportation. These awards are not scholarships. The program begins at the community level where award amounts vary. SI Antioch typically gives out $1,500 to $2,000.
Local winners then become eligible to receive region–level awards. Every year, 29 geographic regions throughout North, Central, and South America, as well as Asia each grant one $5,000 first–place award and two $3,000 awards. These 29 first–place winners become eligible to receive one of three $10,000 finalist awards.
Eligible applicants must be female heads of household who are enrolled in or have been accepted to a vocational/skills training program, or an undergraduate degree program. Applicants must demonstrate financial need, and cannot have already earned an undergraduate degree.
Only residents of Soroptimist International of the Americas' 18 member countries and territories are eligible to apply for the National award. You must be a resident in Antioch in order to qualify. Go to our Contact Us page and send us your name and email address and request an application if you would like to apply or click on this Soroptimist International link to apply online.
