Marian University Launches Grant Program to Support Single Parents in Higher Education
Marian University in Fond du Lac is now accepting applications for its Working Families Grant Program, aimed at assisting single parents in obtaining a bachelor's degree. The program provides financial and educational support to single parents with dependent children who are pursuing their first bachelor's degree and demonstrate financial need. The initiative includes assistance with tuition, childcare, and living expenses, as well as access to academic advising, mentoring, and career development resources. Participants are required to enroll full-time, maintain academic progress, and contribute through service. Launched in 2002, the program has helped hundreds of students complete their degrees, boasting graduation rates that exceed the national average. Applications for the fall 2026 cohort are currently open, and interested students are encouraged to apply early due to limited space.
