Live Your Dream Award
Soroptimist's Live Your Dream Awards program is a unique education award for women who provide the primary financial support for their families.
Every year, Soroptimist distributes more than $2.9 million in education awards to over 2,000 women all over the world. many of whom have overcome enormous obstacles. Over half of our Live Your Dream Awards recipients are survivors of domestic violence, trafficking or sexual assault and have overcome poverty, teen pregnancy, and drug or alcohol addiction.
Live Your Dream Awards recipients may use the cash award to offset any costs associated with their efforts to attain higher education, such as books, childcare, tuition and transportation.
The Live Your Dream Awards offers three levels of cash awards. Eligible applicants can submit their application through the online application system between August 15 - November 15. Ultimately, a Live Your Dream Awards finalist has the potential to receive up to $16,000 to help offset tuition costs, purchase books, get transportation, or find reliable childcare so she can worry less about how to pay her bills and focus on reaching her dreams.
The first level of judging occurs at the club level. Please note: each club has their own judging process, timeline, and award amount. Most clubs announce their recipients between January and April. Timelines to receive funds are dependent on your local club.
