We are Bright Mothers
Our Mission:
Empower
single mother students through higher education to help them create a brighter future for themselves and their children.
4.1 Million Single Mother Families Are Living In Poverty
Families headed by single mothers are among the poorest households - more than a third live in poverty and as such, are extremely vulnerable to homelessness. Single mothers often spend over half of their income on housing expenses and a third on child care, leaving them with less money for educational expenses. Without financial aid, single mother students have little or no means to advance their educational pursuits.
Here’s Our Solution
Our Bright Mothers community create fundraising events to support our scholarship programs for our scholar mothers. From fun runs to beachside boxing classes, we engage with the community to share the importance of education for women’s success. By supporting our mothers’ education we’re creating an investment in their future, including their children’s futures. We find supporting moms builds a brighter future for their whole family.
