I am a single mother, currently studying an undergraduate degree in Sociology. I plan to go on and get my PhD in Family Counselling. I am looking for information on Grant or Scholarship programs out there that fit my demographics. I am having a hard time finding any. Do you know of any programs that offer this type of assistance to single mothers? Can you steer me in the direction of any other organizations to contact? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Carrie

Thanks for your not to Feminist.com. The following are places that offer scholarships, though each has a different "specialty:"

• ASTRAEA/National Lesbian Action Foundation--offers two scholarship each year--the Margot Karle Scholarship--call them at: 212-529-8021.

• The Cleveland Scholarship Programs, Inc.--(216) 241-5587

• An Uncommon Legacy Foundation--Scholarships to lesbian students in the Bay Area--www.uncommonlegacy.org

• Third Wave Foundation--which go to young women ages 15-30.

I hope something turns up
