Interfaith Community Services is at the forefront of providing basic needs services, but we are just as committed to helping those in crisis build self-sufficiency. Along the continuum of our self-sufficiency programs, Single Mom Scholars (SMS) focuses on improving the economic wellbeing of single moms and their children. SMS assists low-income single mom college students by providing a comprehensive scholarship program that empowers these mothers to earn a college degree, compete in the marketplace, and lift their families out of poverty.
By providing wraparound support, Single Mom Scholars is making the difference for the next generation. In addition to supporting the scholars financially, the program offers much-needed enrichment and engagement activities for the children of the scholars.
