The I.N.S.P.I.R.E. (Independence for Needy Single Parents Instilled via Responsible Education) Scholarship philanthropy was established in 2014 with the mission of providing essential financial support to in-need single parents who are pursuing a degree at Saddleback College.  This program seeks to alleviate the financial burdens that often hinder single parents from advancing their education, thereby enabling them to create a better future for themselves, and their families.

The significance of the I.N.S.P.I.R.E. Scholarship cannot be overstated. Single parents face unique challenges, balancing the demands of education, work, and parenting. This scholarship provides a lifeline, allowing recipients to focus more on their studies and less on financial stress. Furthermore, by supporting their educational journey, the program helps create positive role models for their children, fostering a cycle of academic and personal success within families.

Since its inception, the I.N.S.P.I.R.E. Scholarship Program has not only provided financial assistance but has also become a beacon of hope and support for single-parent students at Saddleback College. By investing in their education, the program underscores the importance of empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and achieve their academic and personal goals.
