Who Can Apply:
- Mothers bravely carry many responsibilities, balancing the needs of their children with the needs of themselves and the future of the family.
- Between providing children with necessities like food and clothing, coming up with the funds for childcare, and paying for healthcare and beyond, there is often little money left over for a mother to spend on herself. However, higher education doesn’t just benefit the individual; it is an investment that can dramatically change their family’s future, opening up opportunities for their children that never would have been possible without education.
- This scholarship aims to lighten the burdens shouldered by mothers so they can devote their time and energy to their academic goals.
- Any low-income mother who is an undergraduate or graduate student in Delaware may apply for this scholarship opportunity. Preference will be given to single mothers and those from Wilmington.
Submission: To apply, tell us why you’re applying for this scholarship, what you plan on using your education for, and how this scholarship would help you and your family.
