The Aspire Scholarship Program is the only stand-alone scholarship fund of its kind for single parent in Jasper and Newton Counties, as well as the state of Missouri. It is run by a volunteer board and relies solely on the support of community volunteers and contributions from corporations, individuals, and foundations and trusts. An investment in Aspire will help offer an alternative to poverty and a chance for a better life for single parent families in our community.
We’re offering several exciting Sponsorship Opportunities for those who want to make an impact while gaining great visibility!
Your one-time gift goes directly toward the support of the Aspire program: student scholarships, merit scholarships, and student incentive gifts.
Your recurring gift will help fund scholarships and merit scholarships for single parent students each semester until their graduation.
At Aspire, we believe education changes everything—not only for single parents, but for their children and communities as well. To sustain that mission for years to come, Aspire invites donors to consider giving in ways that extend their impact beyond today.
In addition to annual and one-time donations, Aspire welcomes gifts that support our endowment and reserve fund—resources that safeguard our ability to provide scholarships and support services, no matter what the future holds.
Supporters can also leave a legacy gift by including Aspire in their estate plans through a will, trust, life insurance policy, or retirement account. These meaningful gifts help ensure that single-parent students continue to receive life-changing support for generations to come.
If you’d like to explore ways to create a lasting legacy with Aspire, we would love to connect with you. Together, we can build a future filled with education, opportunity, and hope.
Volunteers are always welcome! Individuals can support the program by organizing fundraisers, assisting with scholarship interviews, providing administrative support, getting involved with Celebration of Success, or sharing information about Aspire at local church, business, or club functions.
