Ralph Nesson
We are heartbroken to report the passing of Ralph Nesson, SPSF Founder.
Ralph was the driving force behind SPSF Washington County, now SPSF NWA and eventually the statewide affiliate, Arkansas Single Parent Scholarship Fund. His legacy lives beyond his time on earth because of thousands of single moms and dads who have benefited from his compassion.
If you had a chance to meet Ralph, you were instantly embraced in his warmth. He will be missed dearly by his family, an abundance of friends and a unique collection colleagues.

I am happy to share that the state of Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA is strong! Our success in 2019 is because of your belief in a better, brighter Northwest Arkansas.
Our 2019 Annual Report shares a glimpse into a year of achievements. Included are the demographics and statistics of who we served and how your thoughtful donations are used. However, one document cannot truly account for each and every story of achievement that our scholars experience.
A 2019 Fall Scholarship recipient recently stated: “My degree will grant me professional opportunities, but I’ve also found my purpose; I’ve found my confidence; I’ve found myself.”
Thank you for adding to the success of Single Parent Scholarship Fund of NWA in 2019.
Onward to a new decade full of promise!
