Promising Pathways, run by the Seamone family, offers scholarships to low-income students who are single parents or who are hard of hearing, and who are enrolled in technical programs, two-year undergraduate degrees, or four-year undergraduate degrees in the U.S. We also offer a scholarship to the Uganda Nursing School Bwindi (UNSB), a school our family visited in Africa in 2023.

Scholarship Goals

The aim of these scholarships is to help students who are facing additional barriers to completing their degrees; both students who are single parents and who are hard of hearing are less likely than other students to graduate from college. Higher education is considered the most reliable path to long-term economic security as well as other positive outcomes for individuals and their families. Research shows that earning postsecondary credentials leads to higher earnings, reduced poverty rates, improved health and well-being, increased civic engagement, positive benefits for dependent children, increased tax contributions, and decreased need for public benefits. Ultimately postsecondary education leads to work with livable and sustainable wages and helps break the cycle of poverty, both in the U.S. as well as around the world. 

The Uganda Nursing School Bwindi (UNSB) is one of the schools our family visited in 2023, which is also where the indigenous Batwa people live and the Bwindi Community Hospital is located.  Uganda is one of the poorest countries in Africa, where sustainable jobs are limited, and only half of the population has access to healthcare. The UNSB was established in 2013 and is the only advanced-level nursing program in a rural region of 1 million people, where one registered nurse serves 40,000 people (compared to 350 nurses in the U.S. for the same number of people). Scholarships to the UNSB not only helps students create promising careers and futures for themselves and their families, but also helps provide much needed healthcare practitioners for the region.

The U.S. scholarships are hosted on Bold.org’s platform, a non-profit which manages outreach, applications, and distributing funds to the winners’ schools. The UNSB scholarship is managed through the Kellermann Foundation, which is a non-profit that provides healthcare, community development, and nursing education in the Bwindi region of Uganda. You can read more about these scholarships and us on our website: Promising Pathways Scholarships.

Donations to Promising Pathways go directly to the scholarship funds for low-income U.S. students who are single parents or who are hard of hearing, as well as to the Uganda Nursing School Bwindi (UNSB) in Africa. By donating, you are helping students build financially stable, secure, and promising futures for themselves and their families. Research shows that earning postsecondary credentials leads to higher earnings, reduced poverty rates, improved health and well-being, increased civic engagement, positive benefits for dependent children, increased tax contributions, and decreased need for public benefits, both in the U.S. as well as around the world. In addition, scholarships to the UNSB help provide much needed healthcare to the Bwindi region in Uganda.
