ELearners.com, a web resource of
EducationDynamics, recently announced the launch of Project Working Mom 2,
an advocacy campaign that provides working mothers the opportunity to
receive a full-ride scholarship to online colleges and universities. The
first $2 million in scholarship funding, which was awarded around Mother's
Day 2008, attracted more than 50,000 applicants, prompting eLearners.com
and five schools to offer another $2 million in scholarships to working
moms, in time for the back-to-school season.
The goal of these projects is to help working moms overcome the obstacles of time, money and confidence and to achieve their educational dreams.
To help finance a college degree, in addition to the full-ride scholarships provided through Project Working Mom, eLearners.com provides a database with $15 billion in scholarship opportunities. Visitors to www.projectworkingmom.com will also find a comprehensive interactive website with online education resources, profiles of working moms going to school online and a community of women sharing their experiences.
"In light of today's competitive job market, a college degree is more important than ever," says Terrance Thomas, EVP Marketing Operations at EducationDynamic. "Project Working Mom allows women to learn how online education can help them overcome the barriers of time, money and confidence to earn their degree. The site provides a wealth of information, quizzes and tips on how to succeed as an online student."
The full-ride college scholarships through Project Working Mom 2 are for online programs from the associate's to Ph.D. level at American Sentinel University, Ashford University, Capella University, Everest University and Penn Foster College. To apply for the scholarships, working moms submit a short application and an essay with their life, education and/or career goals, and explain how an online education will allow them to achieve those goals.
If you are interested in applying, you have no time to waste. The deadline to apply for a scholarship at www.projectworkingmom.com is August 31, 2008. The recipients will be announced in September.
