Please distribute this to anyone in your network who might know of
someone who qualifies. It sounds like a a life altering opportunity!

The Sister Thea Bowman Foundation has four scholarships for African-American
single mothers and their two kids (up to 9 yrs old ) to attend the College
of St. Mary in Omaha, Nebraska. The Foundation will grant $30,000.00 over a
period of four years to the College of St. Mary on behalf of each student.
In return the College of St. Mary will match that grant with an additional
$24,000.

 The student must be an African-American single mother who has completed
high school. She must be from low income housing. She must be able to gain
admission to College of St. Mary. She need not be Catholic. Each student
will have an African-American mentor during her course of study at the
College of St. Mary. Each student will also have an African-American host
family from Omaha who will also serve as mentor. Each mother may take up to
two children with her to the College of St. Mary. The cut off age for the
child is nine. Each mother will live in a dorm with other single mothers and
their children.
This dorm has been especially renovated to accommodate mothers and their
children.
