Soroptimist Dare to Dream Award for Women is a $1000 cash award that recipients may use to offset any costs associated with their efforts to obtain an education, including books, tuition, transportation and more.

The award is directed at single women who want to upgrade their education at a university or college, or who, for whatever reason, find that they are lacking in the basic education of high school diploma, or are new to Canada and must improve their English education in order to enter the workforce in their chosen field. It also targets women who find themselves lacking in the skills needed to find a better career, so want to enter a skills training program.
