The Gwen Simmonds Memorial Bursary helps single mothers advance their careers by assisting with the cost of education.
Single-mother families are more vulnerable to poverty and financial hardship. Unemployment and underemployment make running a household that much more difficult. Even more, daycare puts an additional strain on a family’s finances, especially if a parent needs to pay more than one caregiver or pay for after-school programs.
In fact, historically 30% of single mothers are unemployed. Those that are employed spend over 50% of their income on household expenses and another 30% on child care. This leaves little room for tuition fees.
Financial demands, time constraints, and mental exhaustion make educational pursuits that much more daunting.
