LITTLE RIVER COUNTY SPSF REESTABLISHED

Little River County volunteers have joined forces to re-establish the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Little River County (SPSF/LRC). The purpose of our organization is to provide incentive scholarships to economically disadvantaged single parents, who are completing their post-secondary educations in preparation for employment, ultimately leading to economic self-sufficiency. The scholarships are made possible by private donations and grants. Scholarships may be used for tuition, books, utility bills, car maintenance, childcare, or other financial needs.
