The Live Your Dream Award is a signature program of Soroptimist International of the Americas. It provides vital cash grants to women who:
- Are the primary financial supporters of their families.
- Are pursuing higher education or skills training to improve their lives.
- Have overcome significant obstacles, such as poverty, domestic violence, or personal tragedy.
Unlike many scholarships, these awards are flexible. Recipients can use the funds to cover anything they need to succeed—from tuition and books to childcare and transportation.
Impacting Lives in Our Community
This year, our club has been fortunate to have many excellent applicants. We are proud to announce that we are presenting awards to seven incredible awardees. These women are working hard to build brighter futures for themselves and their families, and their journeys of resilience are truly inspiring.
“This award has not only improved my life and the lives of my children, it has also made an impact in my community.” — Carolyn, Award Recipient
