Stella H. Oaks Foundation
Our mission is to provide scholarships that enable single mothers to receive the education, skills, and technical training they need to fulfill their educational goals, enter the workforce, and support their children. We accomplish this through our three pillars: Educate, Employ, and Empower. We believe that when you educate a mother, you educate generations. The education of single mothers is a catalyst creating change for women, families, communities, and nations. When women are educated and economically empowered, they re-invest in their families and communities, producing a multiplier effect that contributes to the stability of individuals, families, and societies.
Towards this end, the Stella H. Oaks Foundation receives hundreds of applications and then grants award three times a year to qualified single mothers who show the greatest aptitude for completing their program and improving their situation. Applicants must meet a list of criteria to apply (demonstrated financial need, enrolled at a qualified institution of higher learning, care of at least one dependent child, and a commitment to completion). Technical degrees are highly encouraged as a quicker way to enter the workforce and support a family. Awards are also given to students at community colleges and four-year universities.
Over $1.75 million in scholarships have been awarded to date to single mothers. These moms are enrolled in programs as diverse as the women themselves including business, psychology, education, social work, information systems, accounting, graphic design, and nursing. Over 700 single mothers have received a scholarship from the Stella H. Oaks Foundation, making degrees possible that might not have happened any other way. Currently there are 100 women on scholarship with the Foundation with their 250+ kids watching and cheering them on. These single mothers are committed, determined, and hard-working and with financial help from this scholarship program, they are changing the trajectory of their lives.
