The Poynter Scholarship

The Poynter Scholarship The Poynter Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports single parents.

We believe that the underserved community of single parents deserves assistance to go to school, and we were founded to help them get there. The founders, Ryan and Lauren Poynter are dedicated to finding ways to give back to the community. One of the groups they felt needed the most help is single parents who want to further their education. Being a single parent is hard enough, but trying to find

ways to further your education at the same time is a tall task. We want to ease that burden by helping those individuals follow their dreams with a little less stress coming from how it will be paid for.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Amazing moms out there who go above and beyond every day for their family.

Did you know that approximately 23 million children live in a single parent household? That is 1 in every 3 children. A vast majority of these households are held down by single mothers. And since 1970, the percentage of single parent households have just about tripled. Days like today are special because it’s a day to know that you are appreciated and everything you do isn’t being overlooked.

Happy Mothers Day!
