Project Self-Sufficiency participant Cynthia Morales was recently awarded
a scholarship by the Sparta Woman’s Club Education Committee in recognition of
her desire to further her education. The
Sparta Woman’s Club, a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s
Clubs, offers scholarships to high school seniors as well as women who are
returning to school. Recipients must be
attending college, trade school or business school.
Morales recently graduated from Project Self-Sufficiency’s “Higher
Opportunities for Women” employment skills training program and currently owns
a pet care business. She will be
attending Sussex County Community College in pursuit of a degree as a
veterinary technician.
“Cynthia showed a great deal of determination in completing the HOW
program here at Project Self-Sufficiency and she is looking forward to
furthering her education,” commented Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of
Project Self-Sufficiency. “We commend
the Sparta Woman’s Club for their continued support of women as they pursue
their educational goals.”
