Women's Opportunity Awards

This award offers financial assistance to women who need education or skills training to enter or re-enter the workforce. The awards are designed to give women heads of household who are the primary source of financial support for their families the opportunity to achieve their career goals. Local winners receive $1,500 from the Raleigh club, and become eligible for one of three regional awards of $5,000 or $3,000. Regional winners are eligible for one of three $10,000 awards from SIA.

The award to the 2009 Soroptimist Raleigh winner was supplemented by a $500 grant from the Greater Raleigh chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO).
