On October 1st, the Project Working Mom 2010 scholarship program came to an end. This year marked the fourth and most successful chapter of our scholarship initiative, which aimed to support and inspire the educational goals of working parents across America.
After 3 years, 10 major television appearances, 6 Women Who Rule the World events, and 600,000 applications, Project Working Mom has successfully elevated the issue of adult students' needs to the level of national discourse. Thanks to Project Working Mom's many inroads, we're confident that community leaders and organizations will continue to address the barriers -- time, money and confidence -- that separate working parents from the higher education opportunities they need.
To date, 245 moms and dads received full-tuition scholarships for online degrees in their various fields. The awards granted through Project Working Mom are worth a combined total of 9 million dollars. And many of the recipients are already using their education to excel professionally.
Although the deadline for Project Working Mom applications has now expired, eLearners is proud to celebrate the response that this program received. We congratulate all the scholarship winners and applicants. And we hope to remind site visitors that the biggest step towards career success comes with recognizing your full potential and addressing your desire to accomplish something meaningful.
