ANDERSON — Soroptimist International of Anderson is distributing applications to women and girls for its Women’s Opportunity Award, Virginia M. Wagner Educational Grant and the Violet Richardson Award.
Eligible applicants for the Women’s Opportunity Award are women who provide the primary financial support for their families and who are enrolled in or have been accepted to a vocational/skills training program or an undergraduate degree program.
The monetary awards will give women the resources they need to improve their education, skills and employment prospects.
Virginia M. Wagner Educational Grant applicants must be women who are attending a college or university working toward a bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree in their chosen field.
These monetary awards are to assist women with the costs associated with attending school to obtain their degrees.
Violet Richardson Award applicants must be young women between the ages of 14 and 17 who are caring, compassionate, creative and, most of all, committed to making the world a better place. Young women who have demonstrated initiative in both identifying a problem and trying to solve it. Young women who have had significant and noteworthy accomplishments as a volunteer. Successful candidates will receive a monetary award for both themselves and to the group where they volunteer.
Call Sandy Leslie at 642-6734 for application information for any of the grants and awards given annually to women and girls by Soroptimist International of Anderson.
The local club was chartered in 1953.
