Frequently Asked Questions
Can a single mom get a scholarship?
Single mothers often face difficulty when trying to pursue higher education. As a result, there are many scholarships that aim to help single mothers complete their degrees. Single moms can get scholarships on Bold.org, with some scholarships giving special consideration to women in particularly difficult situations, such as female survivors of domestic violence, low-income mothers, women returning to school after a break, mothers recovering from alcohol abuse, or minority single moms
How many scholarships can I get?
The rising costs of college can feel overwhelming and can be particularly difficult for single moms to afford. Luckily, there is no limit to the number of college scholarships or free grants you can win on Bold.org.
What financial help can I get as a single mother?
As a single mother, you have several options to cover your financial need. Federal aid, such as the Pell Grant, is one way to reduce your student loans, but it often doesn't go far enough in covering your college costs. Scholarships are a great way to bridge the gap and can be a useful form of primary financial support.
