Wings Grants help women "soar"
Wings logo
In 2009, Semone Roberts, 39 and a single mother of two teenage boys, was struggling. The economy was faltering and so was her job as a recruiter. With few companies hiring, her commissions had plunged. Roberts knew that if she could transition to a job in healthcare, she could look forward to more stable job prospects and steadier income.

Roberts went back to school at Glendale Community College to become a dietician but it was a struggle. Her eldest son was about to enter college too and financial aid just wasn't enough.

Roberts applied to the Zonta Club of Burbank for a Wings grant and became the program's first recipient. The grant allowed her to pay for books and tuition while she studied, worked to keep a roof over her head, and pay for her son to go to college as well.

Do you know an adult woman who needs a financial lift to help her soar? Learn more about the Wings Grant Program at: www.zontaburbank.org/wings Grants are awarded twice annually. The next deadline for applications is September 30. The award is made in the Fall.
