Juan Solano, III Annual Scholarship

Purpose:
The Fund exists to provide scholarships to single parent students that have a declared major within the University’s College of Business.

As a single parent, paying for school can be difficult. This Fund exists to ease the burden many single parents face when trying to balance work, school, paying the bills, and spending time with the family.

Juan Solano, III, his mother Janet Mills, and daughter Jennifer O’Connor, completed their education as single parents. Together, they hope that in some small way that this scholarship will assist others that find themselves in a similar situation of trying to improve their future through education while seeing to the needs of their families.
