Single Mother Scholarships

I'm a mom of a rambunctious 2 year old and I'm also going back to school to get my degree in Elementary Ed. I would not have accomplished this without grants and other kinds of aid. That's why I am sharing with all of you a few of the single mother scholarships I've found.

Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation offers scholarships for low income women to make their education goals a possibility. It was established to honor Congresswoman Patsy Mink whose legislative agenda revolved around making education accessible for all.

The WISP change your world scholarship enables women who are capable, motivated and willing to put forth the effort to have the opportunity to earn a college degree.

The R.O.S.E. scholarship helps women who have been the victims of domestic violence break the cycle by offering them the tools to go back to school and become independent.

The Jeanette Rankin Foundation has helped 500 women ages 35 or older get back into to school.

Raise the Nation offers both scholarships and loan programs for women wanting to return to school.

Finally, do not forget about state programs for single moms. For instance, the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund has single mother scholarships for residents of Arkansas. In Wyoming, the program is called CLIMB which helps women with kids get a degree or credential which will raise their income potential. In Oregon, the program is called the Ford Opportunity program.

I couldn't be where I am today without single mother scholarships, so I wanted to help you along the way too.
