South Bay Women’s Network (SBWN) awarded three (3) $500 scholarships this year to Cuesta College re-entry female students, Amanda Galaviz, single mother of a daughter; Dana Allen a single mother, pursuing a career as a paralegal; Danielle Bowen, a divorced mother of four, pursuing a career in medical assisting. Funds for these scholarships were raised at the 2013 Summer Evening Mixer, Pennies from Heaven luncheon meeting fundraiser and a generous donation from Alyce Thorp, a former SBWN president.

South Bay Women’s Network have selected Nicole Oliveros and Kim Jolicoeur as recipients of the 2012 SBWN Educational Scholarship Fund, a scholarship program which supports local women pursuing an education. Potential recipients either applied themselves or were nominated, and each was required to be a female Cuesta College re-entry student.

Funds for these scholarships were raised at the 2012 Summer Evening Mixer and our Pennies from Heaven meeting fundraiser.
