Funds for these scholarships were raised through fundraising and generous donations from Corporate Sponsors and SBWN members.

To all of the wonderful women of the South Bay Women’s Network. Thank you so much for the scholarship. It will really help as I make this last push through nursing school. I look forward to being done, having a good job, being financially independent and being able to contribute to help others reach their goals!I think being introduced and included into this “Network” is also a gift. I look forward to getting to know you all better and to continue to empower women and to be inspired by other women. – Thank you, Katie Bariel

Thank you so much for the scholarship! I am very thankful for this honor. I am also thankful to be part of your network. – Love, Athena Sorensen
