Single Parent Nursing Program

In searching for an informational video to help single mothers, mother, and single parents I came across this one for the single parent nursing program in NJ. What a great idea this is. This is what is called a hand up not a hand out.

After finding this single parent program, I dug a little deeper and found another college out there that are offering single parent scholarships.

These were the terms:

1. Scholarships to be used for tuition, travel and educational costs
2. Career advising
3. Community referrals
4. Workshops and information about life management and study skills

Eligible Students Must Be:

• Presently enrolled in the college majoring in an A.S. Degree or Certificate Program and taking core classes stated in the college catalog for the appropriate major


• Have completed all learning assistance, English and general education classes as stated in the catalog.


• Have completed one semester and maintained a GPA of 2.00 or better


• Must qualify for financial assistance – be eligible for Pell Grant and/or other forms of financial aid.

WOW!! Just goes to show you what you can find when you do some digging.

The number of single parent households is on the rise, and the average single parent is unable to make an above-poverty level income. This is putting a strain on government run programs, which is why these types of single-parent college scholarships are popping up now.

Unlike young adults, single moms and parents entering college are usually more driven and focused. You know what it is like to live your life day in and day out facing the struggles of just paying the bills and you are going to be more committed to succeeding in college and getting your degree. The government and institutions are banking on your success and believe that you will have enough drive to finish your education and make a better life for yourself and your family. Don't you?
