Every student should have the opportunity to continue their education to the degree they desire, but many are held back by financial limitations or other personal circumstances.

The rising costs of college have made tuition difficult or impossible to afford for many students, but these prices can be especially inaccessible for single parents. Children lead to many expenses, from food to clothing and beyond, which can force parents to make sacrifices for the sake of their children.

This scholarship seeks to support underserved students who are continuing to fight for their education despite the obstacles they face.

Any BIPOC, first-generation high school senior or undergraduate student who is a single mother may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, tell us how your life experiences have impacted your career goals.
