For the Coronado Soroptimist Club, June is one of the most rewarding times of the year: scholarship season. Made possible through generous community and member donations, these awards recognize a diverse group of deserving young women for their hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments. While generally smaller than the club’s signature Live Your Dream awards presented earlier in the year, the scholarships validate the efforts of the recipients and provide some financial assistance as students continue their educational journeys.
