about this great opportunity for all of us mom’s working from home, but craving for more education and complimentary work opportunities. Lisa say’s “If you've wanted to go back to school, but haven't because of finances, Project Working Mom might be a great opportunity for you.” ELearners.com, a Web resource of Education Dynamics, offers TWO scholarship opportunties including a Full-Ride scholarship and a $4,000 "No Strings Attached" scholarship. All working mothers and fathers, single and married are eligible to apply. The five participating schools offering the Full-Ride Scholarship are Ashford University, Capella Universtiy, Everest University, Virginia College Online and Ashworth College. The $4,000 scholarship can be used at any online school of your choice and applied toward tuition, fees, books, supplies - whatever you need the money for.
This grantor seems to holding strong even as we see some foundations putting a hold on awards. So keep these deadlines in mind as we enter the 2010 application season.
Project Working Moms... and Dads, too!
Apply for "No Strings Attached" - Apply May 1, - Nov. 30

Here is one of my favorite and longstanding scholarship resources that I love to pass on to women. Check out Talbots Women's Scholarship Fund, http://www1.talbots.com/about/scholar/scholar.asp?BID=&h=&sk=M
a program of the Talbots Charitable Foundation, which will award $100,000 in scholarships to women determined to finally get that college degree. Five women will each be awarded $10,000 scholarships, and 50 women will each be awarded $1,000 scholarships. The application process is closed for this year, winners to be announced this summer, but be sure to keep an eye on the web site for announcement of open enrollment. They only consider the first 1000 applications!
