Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund

05/22/2026

We’re honored to receive a $25,000 donation from the Heart of Arkansas United Way to support single parents in Clark County as they pursue education and career training.

This incredible generosity was made possible through the estate of the late Frances Yvonne Russell. Eight organizations in Clark County received nearly $400,000 from Ms. Russell, whose impact will continue to ripple through our community for years to come. We are so grateful!
