Parents play a pivotal role in the lives of their children, teaching them lessons every day and leading by example. 

The direct guidance provided by parents and the indirect wisdom and values they pass on can stay with their children for the rest of their lives. Mothers, in particular, often play a role in young children’s lives, helping them become the best possible versions of themselves as they grow and become independent.

This scholarship seeks to support women who are pursuing post-secondary education in order to build a better future for themselves.

Any female undergraduate, graduate, or trade school student between the ages of 18-30 in North Carolina or Texas who is interested in financial independence may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, tell us how your parents have shaped you into the person you are and how you would use this scholarship for your future. Additionally, upload an image of yourself and your family.
