College Money for Working Moms

By Jillian Wheeler | July 15, 2008

eLearners.com has created a scholarship fund to provide “free ride” scholarships to working mothers. Project Working Mom has accumulated over $2 million in scholarship funds, and the application process is now open. Here is the information:

Purpose: Project Working Mom seeks to raise national awareness about the educational challenges facing many working mothers. For instance, while 83% of single moms have high school diplomas, only 16 percent of them have a bachelor’s degree or higher. And, 35% of families in poverty are headed by single moms. Project Working Mom believes that online education is the answer to many of the challenges facing working moms, both single and married, who want to further their education and lives.

Application Process: To apply for a “Project Working Mom: Putting Learning To Work” Scholarship, simply complete the online application, located at http://www.elearners.com/projectworkingmom/Scholarships/EntryForm.aspx?tsource=home&tid=200 where you will be asked to fill in the following:

Name
Age
Number of Children
Current Work Status
Email
Current Address and Phone Number
Future Career Goals
An essay of 1500 words or less, describing why getting your degree is important to you. Tell us about (a) your life, education, and/or career goal(s), (b) how education will ultimately enable you to achieve those goal(s), and (c) why online education is the right choice for you.

In your essay, be sure to discuss any personal or business obstacles you have had to overcome in your pursuit of getting your degree.

Here’s another educational opportunity:

Our 9 week email Grants Training Classes begin again soon. This is your opportunity to learn how to find grant money, how to write winning grant proposals, and the protocol of dealing with the folks who give grants. Plus, you have the option (at no additional cost) to become a Certified Grant Writer. Certification opens doors to employment with non-profits, schools, colleges, hospitals, and much more. Or better yet, you can start your own business as a Grants Consultant.

I’ll be your instructor. Each class includes my personal consulting to help you develop your project and find the best funding opportunities for you. In addition, students have ongoing access to me for an additional two months beyond the end of the class. That’s over four months of expert professional support.

Classes are limited to 15 students, and they fill up fast. You can learn more, and enroll online, at:
