About the Empowering Motherhood Scholarship

Scholarship award available for both college and high school students

Mothers are a force that shapes generations. They nurture and guide children through their lives, giving them the support and encouragement they need to set and achieve goals. Many mothers sacrifice pursuing their education or postpone it in favor of other endeavors, such as taking care of their children or taking on work in order to financially provide.

At VeryVery, our mission is to make mothers’ lives easier. We know that education is a powerful tool for personal growth, empowerment, and making a difference in the world. The impact of educated mothers extends far beyond their immediate families. They contribute to the workforce, economy, and local communities, often becoming community leaders, advocates, and role models. These women have a ripple effect, and their accomplishments radiate positive change throughout their communities. However, attending college requires a heavy time and financial commitment, making it difficult for mothers to obtain a degree.

The Empowering Motherhood Scholarship acknowledges the unique challenges that mothers face when seeking to further their education—juggling between family duties, jobs, attending classes, and completing school assignments. This scholarship is a dedicated effort to provide a stepping stone for these remarkable women, recognizing that their personal and professional growth serves as an example to their children and contributes to the growth of future generations.
