One Family Scholars The One Family Scholars program is committed to ending family homelessness, one family at a time, by providing supports to single female heads of households with minor children under the age of 18 who are homeless, formerly homeless, or at risk of homelessness to obtain higher education and leadership training because we believe education is the most reliable and direct route to economic stability.
A flyer for 2008-2009 One Family Scholars applications can be found here. More than financial aid, One Family Scholars is a program in which scholars are active participants in the shared goal of lifting themselves and their families out of poverty through education, through taking leadership as ambassadors of One Family, Inc.’s network and through working as agents of change to end family homelessness. For more information, contact Gail Mountain at 978-283-1972, gail@wellspringhouse.org, or check out the website at www.onefamilyinc.org.

philanthropic and private leaders to design and implement effective, lasting
solutions to family homelessness.
