Each year, more than $2.6 million in education grants are awarded to approximately 1,700 women all around the world by Soroptimist International, including three lucky ladies in Yucca Valley. With more on this scholarship opportunity, here’s Reporter Hilary Sloane…
Award recipients can use the scholarship grant for a variety of purposes, so long as the ultimate goal is to advance their education. For example, a recipient could put the funds toward the purchase of books or use it to pay tuition costs. Other uses include paying for child care so the recipient can attend class, or for transportation to get to and from school. Scholarships range from $600 to $3,300.
The local club deadline is December 15 and applications can be picked up at the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce (56711 29 Palms Hwy) or Pacific Western Bank (7272 Joshua Lane) in Yucca Valley.
