Raise the Nation
Raise The Nation celebrates independence through education
by awarding grants and scholarships to single parent
women and their children. The majority of single parent
women work full time, while 45.5% work multiple jobs
just to meet basic needs. Childcare costs are often
1/3 of a woman's weekly pay and if she has two children
the cost nearly doubles. In spite of these difficulties
many single parent women return to school while working
full time. The greatest hardship for these very determined
women is finding the extra money for tuition, books,
and childcare. In addition, student loan repayment is
difficult, often amounting to the equivalent of a monthly
new car or mortgage payment. Raise The Nation provides
money directly to the Colleges, Universities and student
loan providers for the purpose of helping these women
complete and pay for their education. We also offer
assistance for childcare, books and other basic needs.
Scholarships are awarded twice a year and distribution
of funds is directly related to our success in fundraising.
