FREE BOOK AND FULL-RIDE COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP FOR
MOMS.
|
eLearners.com, a web resource of EducationDynamics, has announced
that it will give away 400 copies of the book "Life as a Single
Mom: It Isn't Easy or Is It?", by Stephanie Clark, to visitors
of its http://www.projectworkingmom.com. Clark is the founder & CEO
of My Daughter's Keeper, Inc., a non-profit organization empowering
mothers, daughters, women and girls and a mother/daughter relationship
coach. She is also the spokesperson for Project Working Mom, an online
education advocacy campaign designed to help working moms improve their
lives through education.
As part of the Project Working Mom campaign, which provides working
moms the opportunity to receive a full-ride scholarship to one of the
following schools: American Sentinel University, Ashford University,
Capella University, Everest University or Penn Foster College, the first
400 scholarship applicants can receive the free book by checking a box
on the scholarship application form saying they want "Life as a
Single Mom: It Isn't Easy or Is It?". Clark's book talks
about the ten steps women need to take to achieve success as a single
mom and includes a compilation of inspiring stories from 47 single moms.
The book was released in October 2007 and 100% of the book sales are
donated to My Daughter's Keeper, Inc. to support its mission and
programs for single moms.
"I wrote the book to help women see that 'yes' they
can make their dreams come true," said Clark.
"Self-empowerment, confidence and education are what every mom,
single or married, needs to have to succeed for themselves and their
family."
To apply for the scholarship women can go to
http://www.projectworkingmom.com/ and submit an essay of 1,500 words or
less that describes their life, education and/or career goals and
explains how an online education will help them to reach their education
goals.
Clark is the national spokesperson for Project Working Mom. The
initial Project Working Mom campaign, which launched in January 2008,
received more than 50,000 applicants, from working moms looking for
financial aid to get the college degree they need to advance in their
career. Due to the overwhelming demand for the scholarships,
eLearners.com created Project Working Mom 2 in June 2008. The deadline
to apply for a full-ride scholarship to Capella University, Ashford
University and Penn Foster College was August 31, 2008. The deadline for
Everest University and American Sentinel University is September 30,
2008.
"The thousands and thousands of essays we've received
from working moms pleading for help to pay for college is heartbreaking.
We are looking for more ways to help them and are thankful we are able
to help some moms finally get the education they need to move into the
career they've always wanted," said Terrence Thomas, EVP
Marketing for EducationDynamics.
