African American single moms are offered a scholarship
The Sister Thea Bowman Foundation has four scholarships for
African-American single mothers and their child to attend the College
of St. Mary in Omaha, Nebraska. The Foundation will grant $30,000 over
a period of four years to the College of St. Mary on behalf of each
student. In return the College of St. Mary will match that grant with
an additional $24,000. The student must be an African-American single
mother who has completed high school. She must be from low income
housing. She must be able to gain admission to College of St. Mary. She
need not be Catholic. Each student will have an African-American
mentor. Each mother may take up to two children with her to the College
of St. Mary. The cut off age for the child is nine. Each mother will
live in a dorm with other single mothers and their children. This dorm
has been especially renovated to accommodate mother and their children.
