/Live Your Dream Awards/ Open for Applications August 1

It’s August 1 and Soroptimists know what that means.

That’s right! The Live Your Dream: Education & Training Awards for Women® is now open for applications! And this year’s application season marks the 50th anniversary of this life-transforming program. Isn’t that exciting?

Since 1972, Soroptimists have distributed more than $39 million in education grants through the Live Your Dream Awards and helped over 39,000 women make a better life for themselves and their families. By empowering women to change their lives, the award has paved the way for new generations of independent, educated, and financially secure women and families, who in turn give back to their communities and countries.

August 1 through November 15 marks the annual award application period, in which eligible women may apply for the award by submitting their application to a club near them (or by applying through the online application portal if located in the U.S. or Canada).
