College Scholarships for Single Moms - North Carolina Orphan Scholarship

Single moms, if you are a North Carolina orphan you can qualify for a full scholarship.

NC Reach Program in North Carolina, has a program available to all orphans in the state that will pick up the tab for any remaining educational tuition after grants and/or scholarships.

This program was started in 2008 and many people do not know about it who could be taking advantage of it. Of course, you do not have to be a single mom for this grant/scholarship but if you are, you will still qualify.

The requirements to receive this money are:

• Being a legal resident of North Carolina eligible for in-state tuition rates.


• Were adopted from North Carolina DSS foster care after age 12 or aged out of NC foster care at age 18 (must have been in NC DSS foster care on 18th birthday).


• Enrolled in one of the 74 North Carolina Public colleges, universities, or community colleges.


• Have not yet reached age 26. Student remain eligible until their 26th birthday.

This is a great program to help the group of people, who often find themselves trapped in a certain financial category. Without parents, it is often more difficult for people to attend college, so this program will help a lot of people. You can find out more at NC Reach

If you do not happen to fall within this category but still are looking for money to help pay for college, then enter to win a scholarship for $10,000.
