Deblinger Family Scholarship

The Deblinger Family Scholarship Fund was established to help low-income, single parents who are the Head of Household (HOH) to return to college to improve the lives of their families, as well as motivate their children to excel. Starting with the 2025-2026 academic year, the program has expanded to include both low-income single mothers and single fathers who are HOH. The goal is to provide financial support to minimize the burden of additional out-of-pocket expenses resulting from having to work, support a family and attend college all at the same time. The Deblinger Family Foundation wants to enable these non-traditional students to focus on achieving their academic goals and performance so that they can create a successful future. The scholarship provides up to $10,000 annually for students enrolled in community college to obtain an associate degree, certificate or in a four-year college transfer program. Students who already have an associate degree and are planning to transfer to a four-year college are also eligible. The successful applicant will have demonstrated academic promise, goal orientation, and a commitment to completing a degree program.
