The organization provides financial assistance and support services to help eligible single parents earn college degrees, certificates, professional licenses, and skilled-trade credentials. The goal is to help parents build a stronger future for themselves and their families while balancing the demands of school, work, and parenting.

Single Parent Scholarship Fund Applications Open August 1

Applications for fall scholarships will be accepted from August 1 through September 1. Both new and returning applicants are encouraged to apply through the ASPSF online application portal before the deadline.

This isn't like traditional scholarships, ASPSF awards can be used for everyday expenses that often create barriers to for people to attain a higher education. Funds can be used to help cover the costs of child care, rent, gas, car repairs, and other necessities.

Scholarship amounts range from $400 for students enrolled in 3 to 5 credit hours to as much as $1,600 for students taking 12 or more credit hours.
