Santa might be busy during the holidays, but no one is busier than mom. In addition to working, she is running around town shopping for gifts, baking tasty treats and attending holiday functions, like that school play her son and daughter are in. Even during this busy time, many mothers are thinking of their New Year's resolutions, and going back to school tops the list. Unfortunately, time and money restrictions often get in the way of this goal. So this holiday season, wouldn't it be nice if a scholarship was waiting under the tree for mom?
To celebrate this festive time of year, Scholarships4Moms.net is helping working mothers across the country go back to school, advance their education and get ahead in their careers with a $10,000 scholarship. All U.S. residents over the age of 18 are eligible to win, but the application deadline is Dec. 15, so act now!
Going back to school is worth it, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Earning an associate's degree can put an extra $6,500 per year of income into your pocket and a bachelor's degree can add up to $19,000 every year to your paycheck. Working mothers can use the $10,000 scholarship award to cover child care expenses while they attend school, pay for classes online or to save for their children's education.
Sharonne Hillman of Paducah, Ky., is a single parent with 4 children. She won a $10,000 scholarship this past summer. "I will be able to buy a better laptop to do my homework, and I can pay off some of my school loans. Not to mention, once I graduate I will get a promotion at work," she says.
Celebrate the holidays and the New Year with a new life. Visit www.Scholarships4Moms.net for your chance to win a $10,000 scholarship. Signing up takes only 5 minutes. Copyright © 2008, ARAnet, Inc.
