PRESS RELEASE

Hope, Ark. (Jan. 16, 2023) — 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.

“The ASPSF has been a blessing to me and my family.
Going to school and trying to maintain a business in
the middle of a pandemic with three children was
hard. To receive a scholarship acknowledging the
hard work put into making our lives better is
encouraging to say the least,” said former recipient
Rainey, who studied business at the University of
Arkansas Hope-Texarkana.

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, 2023
• Spring 2024 Semester: Apply between Aug. 15-Oct. 15, 2023
