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.
