Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund accepting scholarship applications

Posted

Eligible single parents are invited to apply for Summer 2023 scholarships at aspsf.org/applynow. The deadline to apply is March 15.

Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund (ASPSF) awards scholarships up to $1,200 to eligible single parents who are attending college or obtaining technical training. A full list of eligibility guidelines is available at aspsf.org/eligibility.

“ASPSF has lessened the impact that the inflation has had on my family,” said recipient Meagan Isaacs who is studying for her associate degree in general studies at North Arkansas College.

If awarded, recipients can use the funds for any combination of school and/or household expenses that

remove a financial burden and help the student stay in school.

Scholarships are combined with wraparound services — including workshops, mentorships, and tutoring — to create a support system helping single parents along their higher education journey to graduation and professional employment.

If a single parent is not attending summer school, he or she can apply later for another semester. Here are upcoming ASPSF scholarship application openings and deadlines:

— Fall 2023 Semester: Apply between April 15-June 15

— Spring 2024 Semester: Apply between Aug. 15-Oct. 15

For more information about Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund — which has awarded more than

$30 million in scholarships across the state to single parents since 1990 — contact ASPSF Program Manager Kim Paul-Williams at kpaulwilliams@aspsf.org or (870) 280-3253.
