Promising Pathways Scholarships provides funding for higher education and free career coaching services to low-income students who are single parents and students who are hard of hearing. These awards go toward completing technical programs, two-year undergraduate degrees, or four-year undergraduate degrees. 

We are offering these scholarships and career coaching services to help students work toward their degrees, because higher education is considered the most reliable and promising pathway to long-term economic security as well as other positive outcomes for individuals and their families (including higher earnings, improved health and well-being, benefits for dependent children, and reduction in need for public benefits). Ultimately postsecondary education leads to work with livable and sustainable wages and helps to break the cycle of poverty. You can read more about us and the research on the About page.
