Founder Region Fel­low­ship is the iden­ti­fy­ing project of Founder Region.  The mis­sion is to advance the sta­tus of women.  Since 1948, Fel­low­ship has pro­vid­ed fel­low­ships to women in the final phase of their doc­tor­al degrees.  Fel­low­ships total­ing a min­i­mum of $20,000 are award­ed each year to grad­u­ate stu­dents with­in the bound­aries of the region.  Dur­ing the first 60 years of the pro­gram over $700,000 was award­ed to over 250 deserv­ing women.  Through these awards Founder Region Sorop­ti­mists acknowl­edge the val­ue of stu­dents’ research work and enable them to com­plete the aca­d­e­m­ic cre­den­tial nec­es­sary for their careers.

A club or indi­vid­ual can become a Fel­low by the con­tri­bu­tion of $1,000 to Founder Region Fel­low­ship dur­ing a bien­ni­um, by pur­chas­ing tick­ets to the Fel­low­ship raf­fles at Dis­trict Meet­ing or Region Con­fer­ence or through an award from their club.

SIFB con­tributes $500 each year to FRF and awards a Fel­low, every oth­er year, to a mem­ber who has made a sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tion to our club of women, who has worked dili­gent­ly on our fundrais­ers or who has con­tributed finan­cial­ly to our club.  If you have a nom­i­nee for this award please let us know: Awards Con­tact.  Many mem­bers of our club have received a Fel­low, but that should not bar them from re-con­sid­er­a­tion.  This is a way our club hon­ors the work a mem­ber has done.
