Scholar House Annual Fund
Help a single mom get her degree!

Disadvantaged single moms and their children have very few options. The poverty rate for single-mother families in 2020 was 23.4%, nearly five times more than the rate (4.7%) for married-couple families. 

Single mothers historically are not able to attain a college degree. Just 31% of single mothers ages 25 and older held a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared with 54% of comparable married mothers and 40% of comparable women overall. Once enrolled, single mothers are much less likely than married mothers and women without children to complete college, citing lack of money and time as barriers to completion. Only 28% of single mothers who enter college earned a degree or certificate within 6 years, compared with 40% of married mothers, and 57% of women students who were not parenting.  

SCHOLAR HOUSE CHANGES ALL OF THAT.
