WHAT IS THE PRIZE?

The prize is a $500 check that can be used for any expenses the winner sees fit.

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN WIN? CAN WINNERS REAPPLY?

One person a year will be rewarded the scholarship, and once they have won they cannot reapply the following year. We want to be able to positively impact as many mothers as possible. This is anticipated to change when additional funding becomes available.
