When you Raise The Barr for one, you Raise The Barr for ALL.

At Raise The Barr we invest in the future of single parent-students and their families. Single parents are resourceful, resilient, hard-working, and creative. They are always on duty, with little reprieve. Without the right resources, they often face barriers that others do not. 

We partner with single-parent students and their children to remove these barriers to imagine and create vibrant futures.

  • Increasing opportunity and economic mobility for single-parent families through education.

  • A society in which single-parent students have equitable access to post-secondary education.

  • Raise The Barr is building a team of partners, who together are creating a continuum of programs designed to lead to equitable educational access and economic mobility for single-parent students and their children.

Thanks to investments like yours, Raise The Barr has awarded over $1.11 million in tuition, childcare support, emergency grants, and rental subsidies to single-parent students since 2016. 95% of our scholarship recipients and cohort members remain enrolled or have graduated college.

Persistent dedication to Raise The Barr will allow our single-parent student community and cohort programs to grow exponentially.
