Opening Doors to Brighter Futures: ASPSF 2023 Annual Report

Opening Doors weaves through everything we do at ASPSF. As you’ll see in this report, our successful scholarship program is opening doors to higher education, financial literacy, and higher incomes. Just as important, we’re helping individual recipients open very personal doors to greater confidence, elevated self-esteem, and a sense of dignity and self-worth that can so easily be stripped away by a life in poverty. 

While single parents fill the demanding roles of student, parent, breadwinner, homework helper, and more, Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund stands with each one. We help financially through nontraditional scholarships. We help students prepare for professional employment through job skills and many other trainings. And we constantly listen, encourage, support, and connect students with needs as different and unique as each individual we serve.  

As you read this summation of activities from 2023, we hope you’ll remember that it’s your continued financial support and partnership that has allowed us to serve Arkansas single parent families — in 2023 and for the past 34 years!
