By Christine Lauren


Getting a higher education degree is a challenging task for anyone but can be even more so for single mothers. There is great news however which is that there are many scholarships and grants available.

This website has been designed to provide information about the various scholarships, grants, and financial aid available. There is also information about additional resources available for single mothers to aid in there efforts for higher education. Single moms have many responsibilities including looking after their children, earning money to run the household. Our goal is to make researching single mother scholarships a little easier for them.

There are quite a few scholarships for single moms available to help women complete their college degree or continue their higher education. A scholarship program known as Project Working Mom is a popular one that has been introduced to assist in achieving their education goals. This scholarship pays for university tuition fees, the cost of materials such as books and other equipment, and other costs generally associated with completing classwork which are generally a big financial burden for single moms. Raise the Nation Scholarship is another program designed for those seeking higher education. This programs helps with tuition fees, textbooks, transportation and childcare. These scholarships are typically paid on an annual basis, and depending upon the program, may be made directly to the individual or to their account at the institution they are attending. The ROSE fund and Women's Independence Scholarship Program (WISP) can provide valuable benefits for women who have been victims of domestic violence. They assist with providing funds for counselling, surgery, and other rehabilitative efforts.

While many of these scholarships are provided by private foundations and should carefully considered, there are quite a few programs provided by federal, state, and local authorities. Pell Grants, SMART Grants, TEACH Grants, are often referred to as Moms Return To School grant are terrific programs to look into. Information on all these programs can be found on this website.

Besides scholarship information, we have provided a section with additional resources that single moms can take advantage of including how to get financial aid to cover child care, textbooks, transportation, and more.
