About the Entergy Scholars Program

The Entergy Charitable Foundation has awarded $54,000 to the ASPSF in support of the Entergy Scholars Sub-grant initiative. The purpose of this program is to award scholarships to low-income single parents who seek to earn a college degree and work in a professional, well-paying job. We expect at least 83% of all scholarship awardees will remain in school and earn their degrees. Among graduates, we expect a minimum of 90% will obtain employment at higher than poverty wages within six months of graduation, with the exception of those who continue in higher degree programs.

Application and Guidelines

IMPORTANT: The Entergy Charitable Foundation requests that affiliates of the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund do not submit funding proposals directly from Entergy Arkansas or its representatives. This does not include participation in ongoing Entergy Power to Care Facebook campaigns.
