Educate to Lead Award

Sylvia Heywood from Soroptimist International North Shore

The Educate to Lead Award is a joint initiative by Soroptimist International of North Shore and Soroptimist International of San Diego.

In its third year, this scholarship supports women who are the primary financial providers for their families. We believe in empowering women by providing financial assistance for their education, skills, and future employment prospects. The recipient can use the funds for tuition, books, transportation, or any other costs directly related to their education.

Eligibility:
• Women with dependents (e.g., children, spouses, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, grandparents)
• Struggling to meet family’s financial needs while attending school or a training programme.

We understand the unique challenges faced by women, and our selection process considers their financial need. Applicants are required to submit a personal statement, which remains confidential and accessible only to Soroptimist Club members and award judges.

Apply between 12 May and 15 July 2024, by emailing sinorthshore@siswp.org or completing the online application. For more information, visit our Facebook page: Soroptimist North Shore.

Together, let’s empower women to lead through education.

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

Dog nuisance

John from Castor Bay

Can’t help but notice while out walking that an irresponsible dog owner is letting their dog regularly foul the berm of an Eastcliffe Road property opposite the corner of Rahopara Street. So dirty and unfair to residents!
