A limited number of tuition scholarships are now available to single parents who have returned, or will return, to college after a break of at least one year due to family demands or other commitments.
South Mountain Community College is teaming with Dorrance Scholarship Programs to establish a scholarship program designed specifically for single parents. Criteria include the following
- They must be sole providers for their family
- They must be continuing their education after an interruption of one year or longer
- They must demonstrate financial need
- They must be currently enrolled at South Mountain Community College or one of the participating Maricopa Community Colleges
- A cumulative 2.75 GPA is required
- Applicants must be pursuing an Associates Degree (AA) or approved program
In addition, applicants must demonstrate evidence of motivation and potential for higher education.
Awards are available for as much as $4,000 annually, for a maximum of six semesters (three years), and are renewable.
Application must be received or postmarked by application deadline of May 1, 2010.
Those interested should contact SMCC Program Advisor Christopher Erran, at 602.305.5607, or via e-mail at christopher.erran@smcmail.maricopa.edu.
