SPSF HOSTS STYLE SHOW FOR SCHOLARSHIPS
Hot Springs, Arkansas – The Single Parent Scholarship Fund (SPSF) of Garland County will host the seventh Annual Style Show for Scholarships Luncheon April 14 at 11:30 a.m. at The Hills at Belvedere.
The style show will include collections from Chantilly, Pink Avenue, Accessory Gallery,
Grow, and Christi’s Boutique. Tickets are $30 per person and includes lunch courtesy of Special
Touch Catering. The event will feature stories from two NPC students impacted by this
scholarship and includes a silent auction, door prizes, and a cash wine bar. Proceeds will benefit the SPSC of Garland County.
The SPSF of Garland County provides scholarships to men and women of Garland County
who demonstrate financial need, are single parents and enrolled in a post-secondary
educational course of study leading to a diploma, certificate, or degree. SPSF of Garland County scholarships encourage students’ success by providing
financial assistance that can be used for transportation, child care, medical expenses,
school supplies, books and fees, and housing.
Since its inception in 1992, the SPSF of Garland County has steadily increased the number of scholarships awarded. As of December 2015, 564 total scholarships were awarded with a value of over $258,000. The goal of the Single Parent Scholarship Fund is to break the cycle of generational poverty through assisting single parents in obtaining a post-secondary education with skills to obtain well-paying jobs.
For reservations, contact Sara Brown, National Park College (NPC) Director of Development at 501-760-4129, orsbrown@np.edu.
