Pike County single parent scholarships

Central Arkansas Development Council’s Pike County Single Parent Scholarship Fund is accepting applications. The deadline to apply is July 1, 2011. For more information on applying in Pike County, contact Debbie Whisenhunt at 870-398-4243 or go by the CADC office at 2614 Hwy 27 North in Kirby.

The SPSF program provides scholarships to low income single parents who are pursuing a college education. Funds are used to offset financial situations that may keep a single parent from achieving their educational goals. The scholarship fund is a means for our community to assist single parents in returning to school to improve their marketable skills and make their goals attainable.

Each scholarship recipient is provided counseling, information, and referrals in the program. In return, the scholarship recipients participate in fundraising for the program.

CADC is a private nonprofit community action agency that was formed in 1965 to fight and win the “War on Poverty.” The mission of CADC is to improve the quality of life and build strong

communities in Arkansas. For more information, call 501-778-1133 or go to www.cadc.com.
