At Little Bundle, we never underestimate the challenges that come with being a parent -- especially when you’re raising a family by yourself. 

We think it’s very important to recognize that being a single father comes with its own unique difficulties. Even though there are 2.5 million single dads in the United States (making up nearly a quarter of all single-parent households), single dads are often overlooked and underestimated. At Little Bundle, we know there are countless fathers doing an amazing job of shouldering all of the parenting responsibilities on their own. However, we also understand that the demands of single parenthood can make it very tough to focus on your own goals and aspirations. 

Eligibility:

- Must be a graduating high school senior in your final semester who has been accepted to a university or must be currently enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at a 4-year, 2-year, vocational, or technical institution in the United States.

- Must be a US citizen or permanent legal resident.

- Must be a single father, child of a single father, or closely impacted by a single father.

- All fields of study and GPAs will be considered.
