Delaware Mothers Scholarship
Mothers bravely carry many responsibilities, balancing the needs of their children with the needs of themselves and the future of the family.
Between providing children with necessities like food and clothing, coming up with the funds for childcare, and paying for healthcare and beyond, there is often little money left over for a mother to spend on herself. However, higher education doesn't just benefit the individual; it is an investment that can dramatically change their family’s future, opening up opportunities for their children that never would have been possible without education.
This scholarship aims to lighten the burdens shouldered by mothers so they can devote their time and energy to their academic goals.
Any low-income mother who is an undergraduate or graduate student in Delaware may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Preference will be given to single mothers and those from Wilmington.
