Why do young parents get scholarship and young single people dont!

I find this debate very interesting. I was a good student and a responsible young person but I came from such a poor and unhealthy home that I couldn't even apply for federal or state financial aid for school because I couldn't get any info from my father. My saving grace at that time was a minority scholarship at a historically black university (I'm white). The requirements were good academic scores, a full-time commitment and ...being white! Now I work as a community volunteer assisting teenage mothers. I admit that before I started working with these young ladies I was judgemental. I was annoyed with their lack of responsiblity and how they seem to get everything for free as a reward for their poor choices. Now that I know them and the reality of their situations, I am impressed by their level of responsibility and commitment to their children. I respect the hard choices they make every day. They don't get everything for free like I had assumed. They have to find childcare so they can go to school and work part-time to pay for diapers and formula. Some have free health care, others do not. Some get formula assistance, some don't. None of them get assistance with diapers and all the other things babies need. Any one of them who is willing to better her life and her child's life by seeking a college education is a champion in my eyes. I hope and pray others will continue to be sensitive to their struggles and offer financial assistance for them to go to college. Most scholarship require students to maintain a certain GPA, so they still have to work hard to keep it. No one contributes more to the betterment of society than mothers. Our motto is "Better Moms Make a Better World". Educated, self-sufficient women may make better mothers.
