Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA

Empowering Single Parents in Northwest Arkansas

Since 1984, the Single Parent Scholarship Fund of Northwest Arkansas has been a beacon of hope for single parents striving for a better future. Founded by visionaries Marjorie Marugg-Wolfe and Ralph Nesson, the organization began with a modest $3,450 in scholarships, impacting fifteen families in its inaugural semester. Over the years, the success of this initiative led to the establishment of the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund affiliate system, which now serves most counties across the state.

In 2021, the Single Parent Scholarship Funds of Benton County and Northwest Arkansas united to form a stronger organization, now serving Benton, Carroll, Madison, and Washington Counties. To date, the fund has awarded an impressive $17.8 million to 21,435 resilient single parents, creating waves of positive change in the community.
