As defined by the Ascendium Education Group, single mothers are women who are the primary caregivers and financial providers for their children without a co-parent or partner. Ascendium supports a grant program focused on:
Improving educational attainment and career prospects for single mothers by increasing degree and other credential completion rates at participating community colleges. The initiative aims for a 30% increase in attainment rates by 2024, targeting more than 6,000 single mothers.
Creating scalable models to design replicable and scalable solutions that other postsecondary institutions can adopt to support single mothers across the U.S.
