Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund (ASPSF), an Arkansas based nonprofit, announces the funding of an Entergy scholarship for a local student, Brendann Ashlee Dixon of Western Grove, through the generous support of Entergy. Entergy, a long-time supporter of SPSF.
She is an LPN student at North Arkansas College who will graduate in December but plans to go on to become an RN. She is raising two-year-old Lela in addition to her full time class and clinical schedule.
The mission of ASPSF is to enable single parents to attain self-sufficiency through post-secondary education. Since 1990, ASPSF has awarded more than 41,000 scholarships in every county in Arkansas. ASPSF strives to make a positive difference in the lives of impoverished families by assisting single parents who are enrolled in college or technical programs and are seeking better-paying careers. They focus support on both financial assistance and personal support.
ASPSF's investment in each family also aims help to shape the educational goals and career aspirations of the next generation, breaking the cycle of poverty for that family.
To donate toward scholarships for deserving students in your county or volunteer in the program, contact Della Hand at (870) 391-3129; dhand@northark.edu or go online to www.aspsf.org.
