3. Have You Ever Tried Finding
Certain Information Online?
 Have you ever tried to search for information on grants or
scholarships, only to find websites that take you around in
circles without ever providing the facts you’re looking for?
 It seems like these topics are buried from sight. I remember
when I decided to return to college and was looking
for government grant information. A friend of mine told me that
single mother’s actually have quite an advantage where college
is concerned. Even though I was in my late 20′s, I could return
to school full-time and the government would pay my tuition.
 You can imagine my disappointment when I searched endlessly
online for this information. It literally took me a week and a few
phone calls to my local college to hunt down the information I
was after.
 I did indeed return to school with a full grant. I even had money
left over to help with my household bills! If I had been less
diligent with my search efforts though, I may have missed a
golden opportunity.

4. Have You Ever Tried Finding
Certain Information Online?
 Next up, I remember trying to locate medical coverage for
my children. My earnings were just past the allowable limit
to receive Medicaid and I had heard about another state
funded program, but I couldn’t locate the right information
anywhere.
 Every website led to a dead end. I finally found what I was
looking for, but once again it took me several days to find
the first stitch of information.
 It was then that I decided to start my own website where all
the right information for single mothers would be presented
in clear and concise manner. Of course it’s not just me
anymore.
 Now we have a team of single moms who conduct research,
fact-check, and continue to provide fresh, relevant
information and content.

6. Scholarships for Single
Moms
• As a single mother, you’ve got more on your plate (and
on your mind) than most. Dividing your time between
caring for your children, yourself, the household, and any
mishaps of the day can leave you without a spare
moment to research the possibility of furthering your
education.
• Even if you’ve searched online for educational
scholarship programs, you may have run into more
than a few dead ends. Some scholarship listings are
nothing more than advertisements, while other lists are
outdated.
• We know how frustrating this can be, so we’ve compiled
an up-to-date, clear list of legitimate scholarship
programs that will get you on the right track to a new,
rewarding career.

7. What Are Scholarships
for Single Mothers?
• Scholarships, like grants, are
awarded as a gift toward an
individual’s education. A
scholarship, unlike a student
loan, does not need to be paid
back.
• This fact makes a scholarship
similar to a grant, although a
grant generally is based on
circumstances only, such as
low income, while a
scholarship may have a variety
of requirements, such as grade
point average, community
involvement, excellence or
potential in a certain area of
study, or age requirements.

8. How to Find
Scholarship Programs
• Community and State Scholarships – The first step of your
search should be to contact the local community and state
colleges in your area. Ask to speak to a counselor or any
individual in the admissions department who is knowledgeable
about scholarships.
• Some of the major state scholarships include the following:
• Alaska – The Ruth Lister Scholarship
• Arkansas – Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund
• California – Bobbe Browning Memorial Scholarship
• Florida – George Snow Scholarship Fund
• Illinois – College of DuPage Foundation Single Parent
Scholarship
• Minnesota – Coplan Donohue Single Parents Scholarship
• New Hampshire – Cap and Gown Book Scholarship
• New Mexico – Sabrina Single Mothers Scholarship
• Texas – The Essary Family Single Parent Scholarship
• Utah – Marriott School Single-Parent Scholarships
• Wisconsin – UW-Eau Claire Single Parent Scholarship

9. Career Based Scholarships
for Single Mothers
• Some scholarships are career driven. Single mothers
who choose a field such as nursing or teaching have a
good chance of receiving a scholarship.
• The Teacher Education Assistance for College and
Higher Education Scholarship
• Bright Horizons Family Solutions, for those pursuing a
degree in early childhood education
• Project Working Mom – a scholarship program offering
working mothers the opportunity to return to school with
full scholarships.
• Chances Scholarship Program – Up to $16,000 awarded
annually toward nursing careers.

10. Basic Requirements of
Scholarship Programs
• Every scholarship will have its
own, unique set of requirements.
This is due to the fact that many
scholarships are set up by
individuals or foundations. Some
may be in memory of a loved one
who has passed away or an
important cause.
• Others may be solely based on a
certain subject matter, such as a
creative writer’s scholarship or a
math excellence scholarship.
Depending on the career path you
are taking and the strengths you
possess, you may be able to find a
scholarship tailored to your skills.

11. What Expense Do
Scholarships Cover?
• Again, scholarships can vary greatly. For example, California’s
Bobbe Browning Memorial Scholarship provides $1,000 toward
college education, while the New Hampshire Cap and Gown
Scholarship covers a portion of the cost of textbooks only.
Don’t let these details discourage you.
• The good news about scholarships is that there is no limit to
the number of different scholarships you can receive during a
given college semester. Example: If you receive a $300
scholarship toward textbooks, you are still able to receive
another scholarship toward books, tuition, supplies, or even
housing and transportation.
• As a single mom, making the decision to return to college, or to
enroll for the first time, can literally change the outcome of your
life. With scholarships, grants, and student loans available for
single mothers, there’s nothing standing in the way of your
success.
