The Education Foundation of the Norwegian Union has been established to support the education of women in developing countries. Applications for support must be recommended by a Soroptimist or club, member of SIE.
In 1985, the Norwegian Union started a foundation and offered its first grants in 1990. The primary goal of this foundation is to promote, through funding, the education and training of women who otherwise would not have the financial resources needed to continue their education. The support of women’s education in developing countries is at the heart of this foundation.
On behalf of the Norwegian Union we are pleased once again to invite SIE clubs in developing countries to submit applications for the academic year 2021/2022.
Funding will be given non-Soroptimist-members for basic education in the home country. Close family members of soroptimists are not eligible.
Application forms for 2021/2022 will be available at the local soroptimist clubs from December 1st 2020.
Deadline for applications: 15th February 2021.
