Wings for Single Parents was created by Suffolk Community College alumna Jamie Weinberg ’14 to assist current Suffolk County Community College students who are single parents. During her time of study at Suffolk, Jamie herself was a single parent. She knows all too well the challenges single parents face not only with time management between familial obligations and school work but the financial stresses as well. This scholarship is focused on removing financial strain and decreasing the burden of stress from a Suffolk County resident who is the primary caregiver of one or more dependent child(ren). Scholarships funds are designated for tuition, books or related family expenses.
