Scholarship, smolership

Hello Swarm Buzz Single Moms

Happy Friday.

I want to share with you something that I learned recently that might help you in the future.  You know how I am always looking to learn and share something about something ?  Well, I find this interesting.

College scholarships!

Have you ever heard the jibberish that children of single moms go to college (or trade schools) for free or close to it???  Let me say to you, this is not true.  There is not one child I know of who has gotten a free education because of his/her parents marital status.  It simply does not happen.  I have been through the big book of scholarships, (in fact two of them) and I haven't yet found scholarships for children who have a single parent.  IF the scholarship focuses on children of single parents, there is a 'disclaimer' which has many other requirements, (Race, Religion, Illness, etc), there is not one that I know of - so if you know different, please share in the comments section as this would be helpful for the rising freshman college students.

Tell your kids if they want to graduate from college without student loan debt, then they must work diligently during high school.  They must choose SOMETHING to excel at then they need create leadership opportunities for themselves.   That is it in a nutshell.  Colleges see good grades all the time.  Your child must stand out and show the admissions folks how special they are and how the college will benefit from having your child attend.  It wouldn't hurt for you as the parent to encourage your child to find some really rare and unique talent in which to excel.  Parents . . .  get started now and help guide your children to a better life for all!
