Applications are being accepted from now through December 31st from current high school juniors (graduating May 2018) and seniors (graduating May 2017). The seniors will receive their scholarships in June 2017 and the Juniors in June 2018.

In addition to scholarship support our program provides each sccholarship recipient with a laptop computer and the services of a volunteer Life Coach.

Our goal is to empower students to help themselves!

Past scholarship support

Since the organization was founded in 2004, SWM has awarded $4,000 scholarships to 60 students. The number of scholarships awarded each year is determined by annual fundraising projections. 

If you know a student who is without his/her mother and may qualify for a scholarship, please encourage them to apply. We can never replace someone's mother but we CAN help!
