Empowering Our Community

An Opportunity to Invest in YOUR Future!

We believe every woman deserves the opportunity to pursue her dreams, overcome obstacles, and create a brighter future for herself and her family.

We are excited to share an incredible opportunity from our friends at Soroptimist International of Visalia!

Through the Live Your Dream: Education & Training Awards for Women, eligible women can receive a cash award of at least $1,000 to support their educational journey and help them take the next step toward achieving their goals.

Whether you're returning to school, pursuing a degree, or learning a new skill, this opportunity could help open the door to new possibilities!

Women who:

✅ Are the primary financial providers for themselves and their dependents.

✅ Are enrolled in or have been accepted into an undergraduate degree or vocational skills training program.

✅ Demonstrate financial need.

These awards are especially meaningful for women who have faced life's challenges and are determined to build a better future.

And here's something wonderful: Unlike traditional scholarships, these cash awards offer recipients the flexibility to use the funds where they need them most, helping ease financial burdens as they pursue their education.

We are delighted to welcome Jody Gilman from Soroptimist International of Visalia as a special guest at our upcoming Cafecito con las Comadres!

Jody will be joining us to share more about the Live Your Dream Awards, answer your questions, and even provide assistance with the application process.

Whether you're considering applying, unsure if you qualify, or simply want to learn more, this is a wonderful opportunity to connect, ask questions, and receive guidance in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Bring your questions, bring a friend, and come enjoy a cafecito with us! You never know what doors a simple conversation might open.

📅 Application Deadline: November 15, 2026

💰 Award Amount: Minimum $1,000

Award recipients will be recognized at a community dinner on February 2, 2027.

We would love nothing more than to see one of our League members or another deserving woman in our community receive this award!

Please help us spread the word. Share this opportunity with your friends, family, coworkers, and the incredible women in your life.

Sometimes, the smallest gesture, like sharing an opportunity or offering a word of encouragement, can make the biggest difference in someone's journey.

At the Tulare County League of Mexican-American Women, we remain committed to uplifting women through education, leadership, connection, and empowerment.

Because when one woman moves forward, she inspires others to do the same.

Your dreams matter. Your future matters. And you are worthy of every opportunity to grow.
