Seven M State students were honored recently with Soroptimist International of the Red River Valley Live Your Dream scholarships, awarded to women who provide the primary support for family members while they are attending college.
M State recipients for 2021 are Darlene Boyle, Molly Briggle, Alexis Centers, Vesta Gbeintor, Rebecca Santiago, Melody Staebner and Chelsey Swenson.
The Soroptimist program provides cash awards and recognition to Live Your Dream recipients. The club’s primary fundraising event for the awards is a spring style show and purse auction, which was held online in the spring due to the pandemic.
The goal of the Live Your Dream Awards is to provide women with resources to improve their education, skills and employment prospects. Apply here for the 2022 Live Your Dream Scholarships; more information also will be posted on the Soroptimist Red River Valley facebook page.
