My mom is interested in going back to college and we're trying to find online scholarships for mothers. Any suggestions or success stories from those who have found scholarships in similar situations?
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some suggestions. There are quite a few scholarships that are specifically targeted towards non-traditional students or those returning to school for a degree.
1. The Jeanette Rankin Women's Scholarship Fund: This fund provides scholarships for low-income women aged 35 and older who are pursuing their first undergraduate degree or vocational education.
2. Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation: This foundation offers scholarships for low-income mothers pursuing their education.
3. Soroptimist Live Your Dream Awards: This program provides financial assistance to women who are the primary earners for their families and are pursuing an undergraduate degree or vocational training.
Keep in mind that the application process for these scholarships may require essay submissions or additional information about your mom's academic and career goals. Be diligent about deadlines and requirements to avoid disqualifications.
Additionally, it may be beneficial for you to explore Appily's scholarship search feature, which allows you to filter scholarships by a range of parameters. Be sure to check out university-specific scholarships if your mom already has an institution in mind.
I hope you and your mom find these resources helpful. Best of luck as you navigate this new educational journey!
