END THE YEAR WITH AN IMPACT
Your Gift Today Helps Student-Moms Tomorrow
Between late night feedings and study sessions, our Student-Moms turn hard work into milestones. They balance it all, and your generosity helps make it possible by providing housing, childcare, and academic support.
Why Your Gift Matters
1 in 5 college students is parenting.
61% of college students facing an unplanned pregnancy drop out.
Student-Moms who graduate earn over $1.2 million more in their lifetime than those who don’t complete their degree.
With your support, they can graduate.
“Had I not seen that flyer and taken that phone number, I probably would have dropped out and walked away because she needed me to be a mother more than a student.”
