Eligibility & Application

Single Mom Scholars Houston accepts applications from low-income, single mothers who live in the Houston area and are actively enrolled in a college degree program within the healthcare field. Applicants are reviewed through a competitive, needs-based process that considers current enrollment, academic progress, commitment to completing a healthcare degree, and responses to the application questions.

The number of scholars accepted each year depends on available program capacity and donor-supported resources. Selected applicants are contacted directly by Single Mom Scholars Houston, and all applications remain on file for future consideration as space allows.
