Men of Many Morals Scholarship Fund

Stability and support are crucial for children and young adults, providing the foundation they need to discover themselves and build their lives. Growing up in a single-parent household can be tumultuous. Losing a guardian or never knowing them to begin with can be emotionally difficult and can leave a child with less attention, financial security, and mentorship than their peers from dual-headed households. Nearly half of Washington, D.C., households are headed by single parents. While individual parents often work tirelessly to provide for their children, the lack of a second income can make it difficult for students to afford to pursue higher education. This fund will be used to create a scholarship that aims to uplift male Black, African American, and Latinx high school seniors in Washington, D.C., that have been raised by a single parent, so that they can attend an HBCU.
