Ignite Her.
The Ignite Her scholarship was designed with student mothers in mind. Student mothers face a unique set of barriers other students simply do not. Between juggling coursework with jobs, finding affordable childcare, and paying for expenses other students do not, they must overcome many hurdles before even approaching the starting line.
Our goal is to support these student mothers with funds to help cover groceries, bills, rent, childcare, transportation, books, supplies, or anything a student mother needs to be successful in her educational journey.
2022 Ignite Her Scholarship Winners

One year later, Adrienne was accepted into nursing school. Her goal is to one day work at City of Hope, the same place her mother received treatment, and provide the best quality of care for her patients.
Leticia G.
Leticia is a single mother of a beautiful 5-year-old daughter, currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Communication. As a teen mother, she worked relentlessly to take back control of her passion and her life instead of choosing stagnancy.
