The Seattle Soroptimist offers two $5000 scholarships annually to Seattle area women, specifically those who are single parents/head of households or who have overcome enormous obstacles. Deadline for both is November 15th.
This award, in honor of Avys Hathaway, a dedicated Soroptimist Seattle member, is unique to the Seattle club. The $5,000 award is granted to women who are a single parent or head of household, pursuing a bachelor’s or graduate degree, who live in the Puget Sound region.
This award provides monetary assistance to women who provide the primary source of financial support for their families. Each year, more than $2.4 million in education grants are awarded to over 1,500 women, worldwide, many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles. Soroptimist Seattle-Metro gives awards based on the need and quality of the application. The SISM club award is $5,000.
Winners at the club level are automatically considered for the regional level award. Award amounts vary.
Application deadline is November 15th every year
