- W245629208 abstract "FACILITATING HIGHER EDUCATION FOR POOR SINGLE MOTHERS Marsha R. Miskin Department of Sociology Master of Science Data for this study comes from the Single Mom Initiative conducted by BYU Self-reliance Center. This study uses the Life Course perspective to examine how getting at least a bachelor’s degree before or after becoming a single mother affects income levels. There was no significant difference in getting a degree before or after becoming a single mother on income levels. The study also shows how families, institutions, and governments can help single mothers. The results indicate that the number of children, employment status, and government educational assistance positively affect single mother’s current enrollment in college, while receiving food stamps negatively affects their current enrollment. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you to all of the professors and secretaries at Brigham Young University Sociology department for the friendly way they helped us stay on task. Each has contributed to my success in some way. I am also very grateful for the stipend so that I did not have to work outside of the college. Thanks and love to my great cohort. Thank you to the government for Pell grants and for Stafford loans that made the financial part of my college education less stressful. Especially, I give a great big thank you to the people who donated to the single mother’s scholarship fund, who put me on their list and chose me as a recipient for tuition for my final semesters. I could not have finished this thesis without the untiring and patient work of my chair, Dr. Vaughn Call, as well as the other members of my committee, Dr. Howard Bahr and Dr. Lance Erickson. Renata Forste and Carol Ward encouraged me to keep going when I became discouraged and helped with getting funding for my last two semesters. I am grateful for my mentor and dear friend, Dr. Ron Hammond, and his wife Alisa, from UVU sociology department, who see the potential in everyone and help them see the vision of what college can do. Thanks to Dr. David Yells and Steve Clark who gave me opportunity to teach and thus increase my learning about Sociology Love to all of my grandchildren who are too sweet to name. I give a loving thank you to my parents, brothers and sisters: Jay and Helen, Colene and Dave, Nancy and Denis, Elaine and Steph, Jay Lynn and Laurel, and Paula and Bill. Also to my children Jennifer and Darin, Jessica and Michael, Nate and Jill, Marshall, Alice and Terry, Roger, and Vanella and Tim and all of my faithful friends, who are too numerous to mention by name, for their continued support and faith in my ability to finish this work and to my greatest friend of all-my beloved brother, Jesus Christ. vi CONTENTS ABSTRACT iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS v INTRODUCTION AND RESEARCH QUESTION 1 Historical Context and Choice 6 Timing, Sequencing and Duration 8 Application of Life Course Concepts to Single Mothers 10 DATA AND METHOD 13 Source of Data 13 Measures 15 RESULTS 20 Hypothesis One 20 Hypothesis Two 21 DISCUSSION 24 CONCLUSION 29 References 32" @default.
