Dr. Kathy White-Lloyd, a single mother and successful businessman and teacher, is passionate about helping women reach their full potential.
She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Kathy founded the Center for Women’s Business Leadership at Arkansas State University. So when Kathy learned about the Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund in early 2023, she had to learn more.
Kathy attended scholarship interviews and was able to connect with single mothers who were talking about juggling work, parenting, and school. Cathy recalled a time when she was a single mother, without a degree, with one daughter and another on the way.
“It reminded me of myself needing money to go back to school,” Kathy said. “I needed a scholarship and I needed a mentor to encourage me to set an example for my children. ASPSF provides both for single parents.”
Shortly after the interview, Kathy gave her first gift to single parents for success. She also hosted a workshop for ASPSF winners, sharing her experience and advice on how to set and work towards goals.
Her support as both a volunteer and a donor has brought countless single moms and dads closer to realizing their career dreams. Kathy, thank you for advocating for single parents!
