It takes dedication to pursue any kind of education, but to do so as a single parent is an even bigger challenge. 

Not only are these students responsible for their own educational journey, but they are also responsible for their children. They have to work to balance the duties of student and parent. Single parents have great strength and perseverance, and that is exemplified in those seeking to further their education. Rebecca Hunter was a loving mother who never stopped aiming toward self-improvement. The Rebecca Hunter Memorial Scholarship, in her name, will support a single parent as they pursue their education.

Single parents are eligible to apply if they are also current students. Preference will be given to those who have taken a non-traditional educational path. To apply, write about how you work to set a good example for your children through your personal improvement and determination.

Selection Criteria:
Dedication, Perseverance, Passion

Winning Application

Emily Long
Pima Medical Institute-MesaPhoenix, AZ
I thought I was too old to go back to school at 27 years old, but I knew I had little eyes looking at me. He did not ask to be here and so I realized I needed to provide for him in the best way I possibly can financially, mentally, and physically I wanted to show him that no matter what you are facing in life, you can over come the challenges. I decided to pursue an Associates Degree in Respiratory Therapy, I have 9 months left. It has been hard mentally, financially, and physically. I have worked full-time, gone to school in person full-time, and have tried to be the best mom I can possible be for my 5 year old. We haven't had the easiest time for the last year. We were evicted from our apartment and I felt like the biggest failure. I am so grateful for my parents who were there to take us in as I finish school I hope to show him, that you truly can do anything you set your mind to and that nothing can stand in your way. When I finish school I will be working as a Respiratory Therapist in the hospital helping sick patients recover. Not only will I have a good career with good pay, the best part is I will have a lot more time to spend with my son Levi. I hope that one day he can see that I worked very hard to give him the best possible life. During school I have kept a 3.6 GPA and have received all A's and B's. That has taken a lot of self-improvement as I never have been the greatest at school as far as my grades and paying attention. When I started school in June 2023, my son was diagnosed with Autism, this was challenging for me, as all I wanted to do was stay home with him and help him learn and be prepared for this world one day. Instead I chose to push through and make the sacrifice for him. His dad was never in his life, so it was hard not having his support through these last 6 years. When I walk across the graduation stage, I will be in tears because I never thought this would be something I could make it through. I can not wait for my son to watch my walk across, as he will know how hard I worked, and that no matter what age you are, what you're going through, what your situation is, you can complete and succeed at anything you give your best to. Thank you for reading this and thank you for considering me for this scholarship. This would help in so many ways.
