College bound students who have lost one or both parents often find themselves at a financial disadvantage to other students who can count on the support of two parents to help them make it through college. On SayCampusLife.com, our contributors have shared their stories (see SayCampusLife: Special Scholarship Opportunity for Children of a Deceased Parent).
The organization behind this effort is LIFE Foundation founded in 1994 in response to the public’s growing need for information and education on life, health, disability and long-term care insurance. As part of their effort to make a difference in some families, the LIFE Foundation awards college scholarships to children of deceased parents.
