A single mom with a successful business and teaching career, Dr. Kathy White Loyd is passionate about helping women reach their full potential.
She doesn’t just talk the talk, she walks the walk. Kathy started the Women’s Business Leadership Center at Arkansas State University. So when Kathy found out about Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund in early 2023, she just had to learn more.
Kathy joined a scholarship interview and found herself connecting with the single mother who talked about juggling work, parenting, and school. Kathy remembered when she was a single mom with one daughter, another on the way, and no degree.
“It made me think of me, needing money to go back to school,” Kathy said. “I needed scholarships, and I needed mentoring to encourage me to set an example for my kids. ASPSF provides both to single parents.”
Soon after the interview, Kathy made her first gift toward single parent success. She also hosted a workshop for ASPSF recipients, sharing her experience and advice on how to set goals and work toward them.
With her support both as a volunteer and donor, countless single moms and dads are now closer to achieving their career dreams. Thank you, Kathy, for championing single parents!
