 University of Arkansas

My undergraduate school where I had to fight, fight and fight. Still, I loved the on campus experience of a larger school.--Katherine Arnoldi, author, The Amazing True Story of a Teenage Single Mom (Hyperion, 1998)

The State of Arkansas has a great scholarship page: http://www.ark.org/scholarship/index.php/search/scholarships/new

* Recommended for Arkansas single moms across the state. The tuition is reasonable, and the housing at Carlson Terrace is affordable (wait list too long, though). The problem is that the day care center does not have enough available slots. Activist moms need to push for more day care on the college campus.
