Since its founding, Supporting Moms, Supporting Students has successfully raised over $2,000 to fund a one-time scholarship that will be awarded in Fall 2027. The initiative has also gained recognition through institutional and community channels, helping to bring attention to the challenges student mothers encounter. Most importantly, this project has laid the groundwork for future growth, with the goal of expanding into a sustainable, endowed scholarship that continues to support mothers for years to come.
Supporting Moms, Supporting Students was born out of a simple but life-changing realization.
During her freshman year of college at Calhoun Community College, founder Kara Jones found herself searching for a deeper sense of purpose. That search led her to begin volunteering at the Huntsville Pregnancy Resource Center, where she worked closely with women facing unplanned pregnancies.
There, she witnessed something that would stay with her: young women who were capable, driven, and full of potential, yet felt forced to choose between continuing their education and becoming a mother. Many lacked the financial support and resources needed to do both—and as a result, their dreams felt out of reach.
One interaction in particular stood out. A young college student, newly pregnant, shared that she felt like her life was over—not because she didn’t want her child, but because she didn’t believe she could have both a baby and a future.
That moment sparked a question that would become a mission: What if one less woman had to make that choice?
From that question, Supporting Moms, Supporting Students was created. What began as an idea grew into a scholarship initiative designed to provide financial support and encouragement to mothers pursuing higher education. Through community support and fundraising efforts, the program established its first scholarship to help a mother in need continue her education.
At its core, this initiative is about more than financial assistance—it’s about opportunity. It’s about reminding women that motherhood does not limit their potential, and that with the right support, they can build the future they envision for themselves and their children.
This is just the beginning.comfortable place to call home, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality.
