The mission of the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Faulkner County (SPSF/FC) is a
supplemental financial assistance to those single parents who are pursuing a course of
instruction which will improve their income-earning potential. We have been in existence
since 1993 and are an affiliate of the statewide Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund (ASPSF).
We offer scholarships each semester to eligible applicants,
money which is used to offset immediate expenses such as childcare,
transportation, household bills and family upkeep. Awardees are able to
use our scholarships as a complement to other financial aid such as the
federal Pell Grant, state aid and student loans.
