Project Working Mom has already given away scholarships to moms and dads to go back to school and finish their education. Scholarships are available for every level of education: certificates to Ph.Ds.
Project Working Mom 2010 will distribute two more rounds of full-tuition scholarships this year. The two remaining deadlines for applications are April 27 and September 30.
To apply applicants must:
· Complete a short application at http://www.projectworkingmom.com.
· Write an essay describing their goals, instances of triumph over adversity and why online education is an ideal match for them.
The accredited online institutions providing the scholarships are Ashford University, Everest University, Virginia College, Walden University, Capella University, Saint Leo University, Allied Schools and Ashworth College
Scholarship winners from the first round of 2010 are all over the country, including three from the Tampa Bay area.
I think it’s amazing that there is more being done to help moms who want to work and continue their education. Here in the UK there are more mothers finding ways to earn money while doing the best to raise their children. These programs are also open to fathers too.
