Finishing college as a single parent is hard. We help make it possible.
A one-time check is not enough. We stay with you until you graduate, helping cover rent and childcare and standing beside you the whole way.
Single parents usually earn less and pay more for childcare. That is why it takes most single parents 6 to 15 years to finish a bachelor’s degree. For a student with no children, it takes about 6 years. We work to close that gap.
Everything we offer is based on what has been shown to help single parents finish school. The heart of it is simple. Real support, every month, for as long as you are in school.
Our Services
Childcare Assistance
Childcare is one of the biggest things standing between a single parent and a degree. We pay up to $400 a month toward childcare. The money goes straight to your childcare provider, every month you are enrolled full time.
Rent Assistance
Rent is hard to cover when you are working fewer hours to make room for class. We pay up to $400 a month toward your rent or mortgage. The money goes straight to your landlord or lender, every month you are enrolled full time.
Social Services
Sometimes you need help with something we do not cover. A licensed social worker meets with you and points you to other resources in the community, including help with food, clothes, and car repairs.
Budget Coaching & Life Skill Training
You meet one on one with a budget coach every month. Together you work on saving, paying down debt, and building your credit. We also help with resumes, interview practice, and job searching, so you are ready for what comes after graduation.
Emotional Support & Mentoring
Doing all of this alone is stressful, and how you are feeling affects how you do in school. You can meet with a licensed counselor. Our counselors work with people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and domestic violence.
