Single Parent Scholarships

At ASPSF, we provide financial assistance and personal support to single parent students across the state. Being a parent is hard enough. Being a single parent is even harder. You have all of the responsibilities of raising a child, while also having to work to provide an income for your family. Getting a secondary education will help to set your family up for success.

We can help you:

Pursue Your Education
Increase Your Income
Raise the Standard of Living for Your Family

A NEW FUTURE FOR YOUR FAMILY

With a new degree or certification comes a new career and higher wages. Investing in your education enables you to raise the standard of living for your family. Not only will getting a degree or certification make you more comfortable, it will set a new standard for your children.

When your children see you studying and working hard, investing in yourself, they learn to value themselves. They begin to see their own college education within reach. By pursuing your education, you can create a bright new future for yourself and your children.

HELP FOR WHAT YOU NEED MOST

As a single parent, finding financial aid is often crucial. ASPSF scholarships are made to be flexible! We give you discretionary money to use as you see fit – to pay for simple things that create the biggest barriers between you and your education. This can include things like childcare, gas, car repairs, rent, and utilities. By taking a few things off your plate, we help you focus on building a better future and taking care of your family.

MORE THAN JUST A CHECK

We’re here to help you get that profitable career of your dreams. We know it’s hard to balance work, school, and paying the bills. So we work hard to build a safety net around you while you’re in school. We award flexible scholarships to help with what you need most, and then we connect you with wrap-around services to help fill any gaps. These services might include:

Career or Financial Planning

Tutoring and Mentoring
And Much More!
