An initiative through eLearners and participating institutions is currently accepting applications for a $4000 scholarship toward online learning. This initiative is called Project Working Moms...and Dads Too!, and it's amazing. I wrote about the program last year, and I later had the chance to talk to the first scholarship recipient about how her life has changed since winning the scholarship. Her story was inspiring. It seems that the program has changed a bit. Once, a few full ride scholarships were granted, and now it appears that one $4000 scholarship is awarded each month. Not too shabby!

The Project Working Moms site is full of resources for adults returning to college. You can search for online degrees, learn about paying for college as well as budgeting, and connect with other moms and read articles about the issues facing them. My favorite part of the site is the resources page that links to articles on everything from time management to study skills; the information here is for everyone, not just moms! And there's even a page just for dads.

So go check it out and explore a little. You'll find tons of great information to help you, whether you're just thinking about going back to school or are currently enrolled. And be sure to apply for the next scholarship - the deadline is September 30th!

Please let me know what kind of information you come across that's most valuable to you.

Never Too Late For College
