In the event of an actual or apparent violation of these guidelines, Sponsor reserves the right in its sole discretion to take such action as it deems appropriate with respect to the essay in question, if any, including without limitation amending and/or altering the essay to make the essay compliant or disqualifying and/or not posting the essay on the Website.
WINNER SELECTION: Based upon the information provided by each Applicant at the Entry Site concerning the Applicant’s educational background, desired field of study and other information provided by the Applicant, Sponsor will determine in its discretion which Educator is an appropriate educational institution to potentially grant a scholarship to the Applicant. Up to a total of 92 winners will be selected by panels of judges designated by Sponsor (the “Judges”), on or about October 27, 2010. One panel of Judges will be established for each Educator, and each Educator will select one or more winners from among the Applicants deemed appropriate by Sponsor for that Educator. The Judges will score each Applicant’s essay based on the following criteria, weighted equally: relevance to the topic; originality; and overall impression. In the event of a tie, the tied Applicant with the higher “overall impression” score, as determined by the Judges, will be selected as the winner. The Judges’ decisions are final and binding in all respects.
WINNER VERIFICATION AND NOTIFICATION: Potential winners are subject to verification. The potential winners will be notified by phone and/overnight mail or delivery service, in Sponsor’s discretion, on or about October 25, 2010. If a potential winner is unreachable by phone during a period of forty-eight (48) consecutive hours, or if a notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner may be disqualified. Each potential winner (or parent/legal guardian if the potential winner is a minor in her/his state of residence) will be required to complete and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and Release within ten (10) days of attempted delivery of same. Each potential winner will also be required to complete and return IRS Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) within this same time period. Failure to sign and return all required documents within the specified time period will result in forfeiture and disqualification of the potential winner and an alternate winner will be selected.

Any taxes on the prize value are the sole responsibility of the winner. An IRS form 1099 will be issued if required by law. Scholarships consist only of items expressly specified in these rules. Any costs or expenses associated with the acceptance or use of any scholarship (including, without limitation, books and transportation expenses) are the responsibility of the winner.

i do not understand why applicants from other countries are not accepted. i do read and watch tyra's show almost every day and will be grateful if she could help people like me who love her so much to upgrade our educational level due to financial difficulties and the poverty level in Africa. I am a Ghanaian and i receive mail from tyra. i even watch her super model show on tv. am disappointed am not qualified to be part of this opportunity.
Project Working Mom On Thursday, February 18 2010

Mabel,

Thank you for your comment. I apologize for your frustration. Please understand that it's nothing personal. The fact is that there are legal, as well as tax-related, implications beyond our control that prevent us from being able to allow the participation of non-U.S. residents. Sorry again and good luck to you.
GGP On Thursday, February 18 2010

It is unclear whether or not the scholarship could be applied to the online bachelor's program I am currently enrolled in.
Kyene On Thursday, February 18 2010

how do i complete my essay on a previously started scholarship application?
Michelle Moonasar On Thursday, February 18 2010

I think this is a great opportunity. Thank You, Tyra. I filled out the app then agreed to the terms and conditions and it did not give me a chance to write the Essay and went back to the main screen. How do I submit the Essay without entering again and risk being disqualified.
Yustine S.M. Baluhya On Friday, February 19 2010

Every thing is Ok!
sherista A. spohnholtz On Friday, February 19 2010

I guess we should all do what we do best and keep your heads up & put all the faith in gods hands'cause my baby's hungry, tired, & I need some sleep too!!!!!!!!!!!!
Project Working Mom On Friday, February 19 2010

@GGP - If you are enrolled at a school who is NOT a sponsor, then no, this scholaship cannot be applied. If you are currently enrolled at Ashworth College, Allied Schools, Capella University, Everest University, or Saint Leo University, then, no. If you are enrolled at Ashford University, Walden University, or Virginia College, yes, but any already incurred expenses prior to the scholarship being awarded will not be covered.
Project Working Mom On Friday, February 19 2010

@Kyene and Michelle Moonasar: Go to www.elearners.com/projectworkingmom/EntryForm2.aspx?email=youremail@email.com to enter your essay. (Replace youremail@email.com with the email address you used to apply.) If you are still taken back to the original application, email projectworkingmom@elearners.com with your essay as a Word .doc and it will be manually updated. Be sure to include your name and email address so we can identify you!

I submitted my essay mistakenly and wanted to know if there is a way that I can have it deleted or resubmitted?
Valerie On Thursday, February 25 2010

Great opportunity. Let me make sure I understand correctly. If I someone starts a program in one of the sponsored schools like Capella University, can the scholoarship be applied if thier enorolled in the graduate program working on a Ph.D. Would the scholarship be retro and cover cost. thanks so much.
Valerie On Thursday, February 25 2010

Sorry another important question so that I may submit my application, asap. I read some of the previous winning recipients and thier essays reach well over 1500 words. I was just wondering why are we limited. That is a short amount to list so many powerful statements, while trying to tell something about yourself. Just wanted to get a better understanding as I read the 2008 and 2009 past winners. Thanks again.
John On Friday, February 26 2010

Can men apply for the program? Thanks.
pastor.sumanta nayak On Friday, February 26 2010

Project Working Mom On Friday, February 26 2010

@Darlene - Email me your new essay @ projectworkingmom@elearners.com and I'll upload it to your application.

@Valerie - No, sorry. If you are already enrolled at Capella, you are not eligible, unfortunately. See www.elearners.com/projectworkingmom/about/project-working-mom-2010-faq/

Also, the limit is 1500 words, not 1500 characters.

@John - Yes, absolutely! Dads are eligible too!
Lisa Wiese On Sunday, February 28 2010

I learned about this program from a Capella University counselor on Friday (two days ago) and have written my essay. I am not yet enrolled there; can I still submit my application for the scholarship?

Thank you!

Lisa
Project Working Mom On Sunday, February 28 2010

@Lisa - Yes, definitely. Keep in mind there will be another entry period between March 2 through April 27.
Christy On Sunday, February 28 2010

I am currently enrolled at Walden University. My degree track is for a Master's. I did not see that as an option in the application process for selecting which degree we would like to obtain. Am I still eligible to apply?

Thanks!
Project Working Mom On Sunday, February 28 2010

@Christy - Yes, you are eligible to apply. What program are you currently enrolled in? For you application, just select any master's program from Walden.
Jennifer On Monday, March 01 2010

How can we confirm that everything is complete with our application? I tried to go on the site again but it takes me to begin another application. Thanks for your help!
Project Working Mom On Monday, March 01 2010

@Jennifer - Just checked – you’re all set!
Valerie On Monday, March 01 2010

Hi guys me again. So I am little confused as I read other questions. Someone that is currently enrolled at one of the sponsoring schools such as Walden can apply but if someone is enrolled at Capella they cannot. I have not started the Ph.D. program as of yet so I am not enrolled, but noticed that someone from another school was but are able to apply anyway. please help with the confusion. I have read the rules but stiil a little confused.
Project Working Mom On Monday, March 01 2010

@Valerie - Each school's policy is different.
Delana On Wednesday, March 03 2010

I think I may know the answer to this but can I apply someone other than myself to this?
Donna Parker On Wednesday, March 03 2010

I am a older mom, 63 to be exact. Because of an accident I can no longer work as a Substance Abuse Professional. Medical Transcript is perfect for me. We lost all of out retirement in the stock market so I will have to contine working and this type of work fits me. It is impossible to live on social security and I was turned down for disability. I carried a 4.00 grade average when I got my AA degree so you can see I am a serious student. Thank you
Project Working Mom On Wednesday, March 03 2010

@Delana - Sorry, but you cannot apply on someone else's behalf.
Charlott McGowen On Thursday, March 04 2010

I am so interested in doing college online, so I can help raise my children thru thier teens and onward

I have Thyroid-ism and health issues we are dealing with but,I know God has a way set for us to make it and still give my children great lives and ways to make thier paths easier in thier futures
Denise Hudson On Thursday, March 04 2010

I am currently not enrolled in a college yet I am waiting for my current loan that is in default to be transferred to a new agency to take it out of default. Can I still enter to get the scholarship even though the loan hasn't went through yet. They said it takes up to a month to go through and take over.
Maria A. Avalos On Friday, March 05 2010

I also have a loan that was in default but I paid the past due amount and making monthly payments. The loan still shows in default status for a year. Please advise if I still qualify for your scholarship. Regards, Alex
Amanda Meisner On Friday, March 05 2010

I could not select a web design program from the drop down menu. Would the scholarship possibly cover web design at one of the sponser schools? How do you apply for a certain degree program when it is not listed in the application process?
Dawn Rauwolf On Saturday, March 06 2010

Go for it, moms! Although I am not going to apply for this scholarship, I applaud the sponsors for their willingness to help out moms! I have 3 children, and am attending the University of Alaska Southeast. It is not easy to balance being a student and being a parent, but it is possible! Good luck and do well!
Project Working Mom On Saturday, March 06 2010

@Maria - Yes, you are welcome to apply.

@Amanda - Unfortunately, your program of interest may not be offered. There should be, however, certificate programs in web design.
Catrina Shanahan On Sunday, March 07 2010

I am so excited to have this opportunity!!! It would mean SO much to me if I could win!!! I want my kids to know that you should never give up!!!! Thank You!!!
Johnenia Gumtow On Sunday, March 07 2010

I have read the rules, but still have a question. I am currently enrolled in an online undergraduate program, but it is not with any of the schools sponsoring this project. I assume if I were to win, that I would have to transfer to one of these schools. Does this scholarship help with any debt already incurred?
Angela James On Sunday, March 07 2010

Why is this contest limited to certain schools? My husband and I are currently enrolled in Capella and would LOVE the chance to finish our degrees with financial assistance. We both are currently working Full time and do not qualify for aide other than loans.
Project Working Mom On Monday, March 08 2010

@Johnenia: No, it would not help with debt already incurred, unfortunately.

@Angela: Because the sponsor schools are waiving tuition to their own institutions.
Mary Hudson On Monday, March 08 2010

Thank you Project Working Mom for all of your help and support. How many applications do you on average receive per participating schools? I'm just trying to see what my chances are. I did apply and I will keep applying, (never give up)!! Thank you.

I am a 53 year old grandmother of 4 grown children. Do I qualify to enter?
Jamie On Friday, March 12 2010

I'm a homemaker who is interested in nursing, but their are only programs for ppl who already have a diploma/associate degree. I've been trying so hard to get funds for college, this is a bummer :-(
Sandra Brown-Baumbach On Friday, March 12 2010

I am a mother of a 4 year old and a stepmom fighting for custody of my two step sons ages 7 and 13. Over the last two years our family has been in financial troubles. I use to make over 80,000 a year in the mortgage industry for a Wallstreet company to being laid off with no mortgage positions even paying 30,000 a year. I sell marykay but that is not a necessity for people to buy in the economy that we are in. I am currently volunteering for an attorney's office to learn to be a paralegal. If I could afford to get the education, they would hire me a lot sooner if things work out. I need to find a new career and this is something that is of interest to me. I went to Cittone Institute right after high school and paid for it while working two jobs. Please help!
Sharon On Friday, March 12 2010

Can I apply more than once? This may be in the rules, but I may have overlooked it. Thanks
Project Working Mom On Friday, March 12 2010

@Tpradd - During Round 2, the essay topic is "how pursuing an online degree/program would make my mom proud OR how pursuing an online degree/program would make me a better mother."

@Joyce - Most definitely, please apply!

@Sharon - You can only apply once per round.
Heather On Friday, March 12 2010

Can you still receive financial aide if you win the scholarship?

Tyra, now that my child is grown, I have the time to devote to my studies, the only thing stopping me is money. I have worked solid now for 35 years, along with raising a family. I am very grateful to have a secure job only there is no extra money left over. I would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to continue my education.
Rachel On Saturday, March 13 2010

@Cierra - You can still apply!

@Mary - Yes.

@Pattie - The available programs are those that are offered by the sponsor colleges and universities. Unfortunately, they can't guarantee that every field of study will be represented.

I am currently an applicant for an online/distance learning degree from Grand Valley State University. I see that this school is not on your sponsor-school list, neither is the degree I seek. Am I still eligible to apply for the scholarship?
Project Working Mom On Friday, April 02 2010

@Joyce D. - That's correct!

@Mabel R. - So sorry your school is not participating in our program :( Good luck to you.

@Sonja W. - You can apply, but if you are awarded a scholarship, you must attend the institution who is awarding the scholarship. If the program you seek is not available, you probably wouldn't want to apply.
Diva*by*the*Bay On Sunday, April 04 2010

Colleen Sun On Monday, April 05 2010

Can the scholarship be used for a masters degree?
Kelly On Monday, April 05 2010

I was wondering if this includes moms with children who are over 18, taking care of grandson living with me? When my children were little, I had to care for my husband who I finally had to take off life support. At the time I had been attending college and had to quit. After his death, I obviously had to work full time to support my children. While attending college, I made the President's List 2 times, Dean's List 4 times, so as you can see I am intelligent and work hard towards grades, employment, children. I'd like to try for this scholarship so I can afford to go back to school, show my children dreams are attainable, you just have to work towards them and not lose focus. So...since they are all adults now, except my 4 year old grandson, am I even eligible? If I am not, do you know of any scholarships that do help people like me? Thank you.
Project Working Mom On Monday, April 05 2010

@Angela: I'm sorry, but CTU Online is not one of our sponsor schools, unfortunately. I'm so sorry.

@J.D.: Yes, absolutely.

@Phillipa: I'm so sorry, but these scholarships can only be used at our sponsor schools. Sorry and good luck to you.

@Colleen: We do not know if Project Working Mom will be available in 2011. There are no income requirements. Yes, some of our sponsor schools offer graduate degrees!

@Kelly: Yes, you are definitely eligible to enter!
LaRhonda On Monday, April 05 2010

@LaRhonda: Yes.
Karen On Monday, April 05 2010

I was filling out the application online this afternoon and it somehow got submitted without me completing the application or essay. The application wouldn't allow me to proceed using the email I used the first time so I entered a second email. I don't want to be disqualified for having applied twice, but I never completed the first application. What do I do?

M On Tuesday, April 06 2010

The chance to go to school as an adult

is a gift. For we are now in a mental and spiritual place to understand that learning, and discovering the world around us while we sitting quietly at a desk can be just as rewarding as playing tag out doors with your best friend. A concept individuals like me could never understand when they where a kid in a class room looking threw the window of there classroom at the sun, the sky, and the colorful play ground.
Shannon On Tuesday, April 06 2010

Well I made it through everything,including my essay, and then accidentally navigated away from the page and it was gone! Never clicked submit or anything! I got back to site to re-submit thinking I hadn't submitted and the site said my email was already in use. How can I submit now with out breaking the rule and submitting twice and/or simply submit my essay if that is all that was needed? THANK YOU!!! :)
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, April 06 2010

@Karen - Yes, you can apply!

@Julie - I'm sorry, but none of our sponsor schools offer an LPN to RN program, unfortunately.

@Kayla - Sorry, but this scholarship would allow you to attend one of the sponsor schools tuition-free. They couldn't help you with any existing student loans. I'm so sorry!

@Audrey - That's fine - you won't be disqualified. I can delete the first application if you like, but would need to know what email address you used. Send me an email at projectworkingmom@elearners.com.

@Cristian - The essay topic is "How pursuing an online degree/program would make my mom proud OR How pursuing an online degree/program would make me a better mother."

@Erika - If you are selected as a Project Working Mom scholarship recipient, yes, you'd have to attend the sponsor school who is awarding the scholarship.

@Shannon - Email your essay to projectworkingmom@elearners.com and include the email address you used and I can add your essay to your application for you.

Bless you Tyra and every person involved with Project Working Mom including the educational institutions! Could you please confirm: Is this a full scholarship through the completion of the winner's degree program or is it only for one semester of their program? (leaving the recipient to fund the remainder of their proggram) Thank you so very much for offering this opportunity to working moms (and dads)!
V.H. On Sunday, April 11 2010

Hi My question is between the two questions that we may choose from to do our essay on, could we answer both in our essay without being disqualified or do we have to pick one or the other. Just wanted to make sure becasue I am working on my essay and was having a hard time choosing which one to follow since I have been working on both questions. Thanks so much. I am so excited and pray that this will be a winner.
Marva Keene On Monday, April 12 2010

Doesn't hurt to give it a try and you don't know unless you try. We have not because we ask not. I am believing and expecting my call.
Ann M On Monday, April 12 2010

My younger sisters would like to write an essay explaining why I should be picked. Are they allowed since my three little ones are under the age of 6?
Project Working Mom On Monday, April 12 2010

@Patty D - Yes, please apply.

@Becki - This is a full scholarship through the completion of the entire program; however, you must make satisfactory academic progress as dictated by the sponsor school. Hope that helps!

@V.H. - You can answer both questions if you like. Just be sure to stay under the 1500 word limit!

@Ann M: No, sorry, but you must write the essay for yourself. Keep in the mind the essay is the only indication the schools have to determine if you are able to successfully pursue college-level work.

Am I able to transfer credits from my current university if I'm picked?
Leigh Anne Chavez On Wednesday, April 14 2010

One quick question. My interest is Library Science. Have worked in this field as library technician. Would like to be a Librarian. Do any of the universities offer this degree? Thanks for the opportunity that you are providing for women and men who would not be able to continue their education due to financial limitations.
Project Working Mom On Wednesday, April 14 2010

@Terra B.: Credit transfer is a certainly a possibility, but we can't guarantee as it the school would have to evaluate and make the final decision. Hope that makes sense.

@Leigh Anne: Sorry, but unfortunately, none of the sponsor schools offer Library Science. :(
Shefa On Wednesday, April 14 2010

I am trying to get my masters so I can be a manager in a daycare. I have 3 kids and 22 yrs old so this will definitely help very much. One quick question; if I happen to win, can I change the school of interest or must I commit to the one I applied for on the application?
Melissa Larson On Wednesday, April 14 2010

Do the participating colleges provide online courses or will we have to physically attend the college? I noticed that St. Leo's says online courses after their name when choosing a program.. but none of the others do.
Project Working Mom On Wednesday, April 14 2010

@Shefa - If you win, you must attend the school who is awarding the scholarship.

@Melissa - All scholarships are for online study at all our sponsor schools.
Melissa Larson On Wednesday, April 14 2010

Oh I'm sorry I did not realize this project was stemmed specifically for online education, please disregard my previous post :)
Connie Wallstrom On Thursday, April 15 2010

What a wonderful opportunity.

Theresa Perry On Friday, April 16 2010

I am a widow who raised my girls alone. They are now both in college and I would love to finish my degree. Am I still eligible?
Griselda On Friday, April 16 2010

I am still completing my general education, I want to get a degree on education. If I were to receive a scholarship for K12education, would I still be able to finish my general education before I use the scholarship? Am I suppose to put that I would want the scholarship for general education because I have not completed it?
Project Working Mom On Friday, April 16 2010

@Liz - Yes, you are eligible to apply!

@Theresa - You are eligible as well!

@Griselda - I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you rephrase it? Keep in mind that several recipients ended up enrolling in a different program than what they indicated on their application, so you're not locked in. Hope that makes sense.

Fleta Ireland On Monday, April 19 2010

After reading everyone comments i started not to continue to pursue this scholarship because my heart really goes out to some of these people. I had to stop and think i am also in a difficult position and i need as much help as i can get. Good Luck to all and i do beleive it is safe to say that we are doing this for our children. We all are lucky to have this opportunity.
Jameela Powell On Monday, April 19 2010

I think this is a wonderful program that has been put together. So many times we think theirs nothing out here for us and then something like this comes along. We have to seek and we will find many opportunities like this.
Ileana On Monday, April 19 2010

I am happy that someone is really stepping up and helping out mothers in need who are trying to get their lives back on track. Other people promise scholarships and never come through or you have to pay for it. So I am happy even if the winner isn't me, that someone will benefit from this blessing.
TerryAnn Hankerson On Monday, April 19 2010

This is truely and awesome blessing! Thank You for opening doors for so many Mothers. And changing so many lives!
Shonda Hacker On Tuesday, April 20 2010

Vanessa On Tuesday, April 20 2010

My children are all grow up. I started my Master's Degree but was unable to complete it due to finances and can't afford taking out any additioanl loans. Am I still eligible to apply?
Siawonda Welbon On Tuesday, April 20 2010

I woke up this morning and I said to myself there has got to be a way for me to better myself so I can really care for my kids. Thank god for this program. A Criminal Justice degree is what I have always dreamed about.

Can the winner of the scholarships apply for student loans to help with costs of college that are not tuition?
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, April 20 2010

@Vanessa and Melanie: Yes, you are both eligible!

@Rose: Yes!
Carlos Herrera On Wednesday, April 21 2010

Yesterday April 20, I realized about this great program which give us the opportunity to get back to school. Could we have a more little time to apply and finished the require essay. Thank you.
Project Working Mom On Wednesday, April 21 2010

@Carlos: If you can't make the April 27, 5 pm EST deadline, there will be a third and final round in which you can apply. That deadline would be September 30, 2010.
Martha Farmer On Wednesday, April 21 2010

Why is it limited to just those universities? I would like to be able to pick the university that I want to attend. I have 6 children and I would like to attend a university close to my home.
Liliana Millan On Thursday, April 22 2010

I got this e-mail today and I just thought what an amazing opportunity is being offered to us, working moms, to continue our education. I was left with three girls and a lot of financial responsibilities. This would be a blessing for my girls and I... Thank you!
Susie Esquibel On Thursday, April 22 2010

Amazing, I just opened this email this morning. Could not beleive this was possible. I was let go of my job of 23 years. Unable to find a work related to my set skills. I finally relized i needed to go back to school. I'm so excited going to start my essay today.
Heidi M On Thursday, April 22 2010

I am debating between a few programs. I feel like I need more info from these schools before I decide. Do I need to know which program for sure i want to apply to before I submit my application?
Project Working Mom On Thursday, April 22 2010

@Martha: These schools are waiving tuition to their institutions, that's why. Sorry you're not interested in online study.

@Heidi: You may not need to settle on which program, as winners have specified one program in their application and enrolled in something different. However, you do need to settle on which school you want to apply to.
gracie On Friday, April 23 2010

Susan On Friday, April 23 2010

I was wondering I owe a loan to a school here close to home. They will not release the transcript until I pay. I do not have the money at the time but will try to make it in payments. Can I still apply for the scholarship and in case I win will it wait until I have paid the balance I owe?
Project Working Mom On Friday, April 23 2010

@Susan: Your personal financial situation or debt obligations will not impact your ability to apply for or win a scholarship. Hope that helps!
Michelle On Friday, April 23 2010

If I am attending a university locally, but desire to receive a certificate in another field of study that is not offered at my school, can I still apply and attend both schools if chosen?
Project Working Mom On Friday, April 23 2010

@Michelle: Yes, that would be fine.

I just wanted to thank you for giving an opportunity like this to mothers. I myself am enrolled into the University of Phoenix and applied I was wondering if I qualify?

Thank you
Project Working Mom On Sunday, April 25 2010

@Kristi - You can apply, but if you are awarded a scholarship, you'd have to transfer from UOP and attend the university offering the scholarship. UOP is not a sponsor of Project Working Mom, unfortunately.
Doris Maldonado On Sunday, April 25 2010

Becca On Monday, April 26 2010

I don't know if I read it wrong.. are all of these schools online? Also do we have to pay anything back?
Project Working Mom On Monday, April 26 2010

@Becca: All the programs are offered online, but not all the schools are virtual universities. No, you don't have to pay anything back - your tuition would be waived as long as you're enrolled and making satisfactory academic progress towards your program.
Eva On Monday, April 26 2010

I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT I VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT THERE IS PROGRAMS LIKE THIS TO HELP US MOMS THAT ARE HAVING A VERY HARD TIME MAKING IT NOW A DAYS WITHOUT A GOOD EDUCATION. THANK YOU FOR THIS AND I WISH THE VERY BEST WHO EVER WIN.
Jonnie On Monday, April 26 2010

I just entered the contest and saw that you have to apply to a certain school/program, which I did. Can you apply to a different school's program with the same essay?
Project Working Mom On Monday, April 26 2010

@Jonnie: No, sorry, you can only apply to one school.
Ruth Miller On Tuesday, April 27 2010

I really feel that so many women deserve this chance and blessing. I have worked so hard in my life and I know other women have worked just as hard. I wish you all the best and hopefully we all get a degree and an occupation that we want.
Donella Dorn On Tuesday, April 27 2010

I just went back and followed the link included in the initial email response I received when first applied for the scholarship. The link brought me to a place where I could upload my essay. Because it did not show any personal information on the page the link brought me to, I added my name and email address to the essay submission box. Since my essay was exactly 1500 words (according to Microsoft Word), the addition of my contact information put me over. When I clicked submit, it received a response with my name, revealing that the essay link and my application were connected and my contact info additon was unnecessary. Will the extra words of the contact information I added before my actual essay be a problem for the 1500 word limit?
shelly y. On Tuesday, April 27 2010

A bit last minute, am sorry....but hopefully I'll get a response before deadline time. I know this is for 'working Moms', but with economy the way it is, wondering if eligibility or scoring is affected if not currently working? Tried to read through prior questions and believe I saw it stated to apply anyhow--not clear if it works against you or not. I've involved myself in a multi-level marketing/independent thing....but, payoff can take quite some time. Hopefully none of this works against me....thx for the opp.!
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, April 27 2010

@Donella: No, you're fine, don't worry!

@Shelly Y.: It doesn't count against you. You are judged on the quality of your essay.
Cindy Page Antelope On Tuesday, April 27 2010

Am a working mom, intended to go to college after high school but found out I had conceived a child so my plans were put on hold, I then got pregnant a second time and had twin boys so my parenting seemed more important then my schooling so I stayed back. My ambitions to become a certified nurse have never changed. I would love the opportunity to do so.
Harmony H On Thursday, April 29 2010

I am a spouse of an Active Duty Servicemember and we are preparing for a move to Erupoe this summer. If I apply how long would notification take as I may be with out communication for a few weeks as we are transitioning. I plan on using my In-Laws as an alternate phone contact. Will this hamper my participation? I know I will be able to go to school online while in Germany as I was planning on starting up again once we were settled. Thank you for answering all of these questions. This is a wonderful oprotunity that I will be sharing with the other women I know here that could use this type of assistance as well. Thank you so much!!

Melissa On Sunday, May 02 2010

Just to clarify...if one is already enrolled at Capella University they would not qualify for this scholarship? Does it make any difference if they have not started classes yet? Thanks for the information.
Donna Holmberg On Monday, May 03 2010

Well, I went ahead and did my FAFSA and am going to go ahead and apply to Walden University so I can have them matriculate my courses into their system and see what I need to do to go from my ASB to a bachelors degree. I'm hoping to win so I can actually afford to enroll, and my grandmother always taught me that good things come to those who work for them, not those who wait... if it's worth doing, it's worth making the effort. Maybe my extra efforts will pay off and I'll be one of the fortunate ones chosen. If I am, it won't cause me to lose my scholarship if I've already applied and been matriculated, will it? It's ok to already have Walden approve me for attendance in advance, isn't it?
Project Working Mom On Monday, May 03 2010

@Melissa - I'm so sorry, but no, Capella is not allowing those who are already enrolled to apply for this scholarship :(

@Donna - No, it won't cause you to lose your scholarship. Yes, you can apply but keep in mind that any already incurred expenses prior to the scholarship being awarded will not be covered.
Fay On Monday, May 03 2010

Good Morning

I orginally found out this information back in April. Yet I see that the scholarship has been reset. Do I still have the opportunity to send in my essay? Is my application in the system more than once?

Hello Tyra, Thank you for this opportunity, Here in California if you are not on Government assistance you fall into a catagory that offers no help with Child Care, being a single mom for 10 years has made it impossible for me to go back to school. Maybe this will be the break that I really need.

Hello Tyra and all of her staff! I applied for this opportunity by your last deadline in march I want to know if that entry still stands for the duration of this whole contest and will I be disqualified for trying to enter for this deadline. when I tried to enter now it stated that my email address was already in exsistance if my application went through a 2nd time can I withdrawal this entry so I don't lose out on this opportunity?

Thank you!
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, May 11 2010

@Amy: Sorry for the delay! The schools are now contacting their winners. Once they get in touch with them, they'll give us names to post on the website. Thanks for your patience.

Hello,

I really interested in applying for the on-line education program. To me this is a dream come true. But before I even apply, I want to ask and make sure that I will not be asked to travel to any other state to finish the course. Will I be asked that? Also, will I have to attend a community collage at one point during the online course to help complete the course or is it a strictly on-line course?

HI!

The title of the program says "working moms" -- yet no where in the RULEs could I find the REQUIREMENT of having children. ...

I DO hope to start a family,a nd is one reason why I am trying to start my own business-- I think some courses/ degree in business and graphic design would REALLY help me!

I barely have funds to invest in business... so, this offer seemed appealing.

Can I apply? Am I eligible?

I am currently attending DeVry University for my BSA / Entrepreneurship as a sophmore. I still applied for this opportunity to take up another course of study through online classes only to enhance my skills and knowledge to better operate my business. I am a single parent of low-income of four, full-time employment and trying to start a business as referenced in my website address. I do all of this to put my family in financial security and the means to make better effective choices. Is it going to be a problem of me applying when I intend to remain enrolled with DeVry and take online course with one of your designated institutions?
Project Working Mom On Sunday, May 16 2010

@Jennine: That decision is up to each school, actually.

@Ashley: No, only winners will be notified, unfortunately.

@Celia and Concetta: Yes, you must be a parent (or legal guardian) to apply.

@Dale: Yes, you are eligible to apply! Please do!

@Aacha, Catherine, and Dionilyn: I apologize that working parents outside of the United States are not eligible to apply. :(

@Valerie: I'm so sorry, but DeVry is not a sponsor school, unfortunately.

@Joanna: No, it would not.

@Nneka: You can apply, but if you are awarded a scholarship, you'd have to transfer to the school awarding the scholarship. You cannot "use" this scholarship at DeVry since they are not a sponsor. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Keke LiBron On Sunday, May 23 2010

I started to apply but, wanted to ask this before I proceed. Most offers such as these are for those who do NOT have a degree. I have a Bachelor's Degree. Often times, scholarships are not awarded to those who currently hold a degree, is this the case with your organization?
Fatima On Sunday, May 23 2010

As an imigrant with no access to government or military education advantages, this kind of program is ideal so that my poor husband does not have to support me as he does with no complaints. It is time for me to step up and help with our family finances for my husband and our two beautiful daughters so we can have the American dream that everyone talks about.

p.s. - I am a leagal imigrant from Brazil if anyone is worried that I am an illegal Mexican or anything like that: my husband pays lots of money for my parole (term used for legal imigrants)that the illegal ones seem to escape... my poor husband pays and tells me that I am worth it all. (*sigh)
Diana On Sunday, May 23 2010

I am a mother of three and a grandmother of six grandchildren. I have never had the opportunity to attend college because of the money it costs to go. I am still working full time and my husband is on Disability. He is also very proud to have served our country as a Paratrooper in the Army.

I still feel I have a lot to give, and to get a Degree would make my children so very proud of me, to continue my education. None of my sisters or brother got a chance to go to college either, and I would be setting a great example for my grandchildren. I am very proud to say that all three of my children have had some college, or trade school training. My oldest daughter has a Masters Degree -- the first one ever in our family.

My Father found himself single parent to raise four children after my Mother passed away. We ranged in age from 11 months old to 15 years old when she died. He had to work two jobs sometimes, but was the best father ever, but he passed away in 1983. He only had a high school education, but was very proud of that, because he was the first one in the family to receive a high school deploma. He proudly served our country as a cook in the Army during World War Two and the Koren war. He passed away when he was 70 years old, but at that point in time, he had out lived anyone in his family by 20 years.

I feel so strongly about my family and grandchildren always staying as a close family unit, because both of my fathers parents had died before I was born, along with his father-in-law. My mother's mother passed away two months after my mother did. My father had no one to help him but, I feel so lucky that I had him as my father, and I taught my family all the morals and values that he passed down to me.

I would be thrilled to be considered for a Scholarship, Thank You for your time.
Project Working Mom On Monday, May 24 2010

@Sloan: If you're attending a campus program, you are welcome to apply, but these scholarships are for online study only. If you were awarded a scholarship, you'd have to transfer to the school offering the scholarship. Sorry!

@Jennifer Devlin: No, I'm sorry but ITT Tech is not one of our sponsor schools. :(

@Julie Saperstein: I don't believe any of the sponsor schools offer online MSW programs, unfortunately. As for requirements with regards to state licensing, you'd have to check with the state of NJ directly to ensure a school would be considered acceptable. Sorry!

@Trina: For the 3rd round, the essay topic is "why an online degree is right for me." No more than 1500 words, please!

@Gloria Valdez: Yes, you are eligible to apply!

@April: If you're already enrolled, you can apply, but if you win a scholarship, you'd have to transfer to the school offering the scholarship.

@Dwyane Cheddar: Yes, there are some online doctoral programs available through Project Working Mom.

@Keke LiBron: No, that's fine if you already have a bachelor's degree. Please apply.

@Sharri Mantz: No age limit whatsoever!
DeeDee On Tuesday, May 25 2010

The University I selected called me within the hour after I filled out the application on this website and said that for the program I selected the scholarship would not qualify. I am perplexed as to why I would be matched with a university according to the Masters degree I need only to be told that I would have to pay out of pocket...are they trying to rip me off?
Kimberley Summers On Tuesday, May 25 2010

I worked for years in the area of insurance and saw many of the struggles people go through trying to make ends meet. Because I worked full time and took care of my household and my two children, I was never able to further my education beyond my general education after high school. I was not financially or physically able. When one of my daughters asked me if I would be willing to care for my grandson in 2007 I was very excited to be able to stay home with him! But I've always been interested in furthering my education and in the legal area. It would be my dream come true if I could do this!
Lea Kae Weston On Tuesday, May 25 2010

I am seeing two deadlines with two different topics. I received your scholorship information from www.scholarshipexperts.com. They are stating the deadline is May 31st and the essay topic is how he/she will make history with their online degree. What is the correct deadline and essay topic? Thanks.
shannon Rosset On Tuesday, May 25 2010

I really want my Esthetician Certificate but there was nothing to click on for that one... hotel mgmt would also be fun though.
florence shannon shapiro-rodas On Wednesday, May 26 2010

this could be an amazing opportunity for many of us tired, overworked and underpaid parents! dreams could come true- Thank you Tyra and everyone's efforts @ projectmoms & the powers that be! Choose me and I'll not let any of us down!
Lea Kae Weston On Wednesday, May 26 2010

Sorry, one more question. I am currently attending Capella University in Mental Health Counseling. I am just taking my first course. I am willing to transfer to Walden University's Mental Health Counseling Program...can I still apply?
Project Working Mom On Thursday, May 27 2010

@Dee Dee: No, they're not trying to rip you off. See, the participating schools awarding scholarships are Ashford University, Everest University, Virginia College, Walden University, Capella University, Saint Leo University, Allied Schools, and Ashworth College. What happened is that you completed an optional request for information from another school who offers a similar online program. That's there to facilitate comparison. Sorry if that was confusing!

@Lea: The deadline to apply is September 30th. The topic is "why an online degree is right for me." The May 31st deadline (which is being extended) is for folks who apply via the Tyra Show.

@Lea: Yes, you can definitely apply!
Jenise Stump On Thursday, May 27 2010

You say that this is a full scholarship that is being offered at these particular universities. I would like to know if this scholarship also covers my required residencies and internships, because I am in the master's degree program at Walden University.
Joy Otlo On Thursday, May 27 2010

Can I transfer all the credits that I already have
Janet K On Thursday, May 27 2010

I will begin my Doctorate at walden in public policy on June 7 a scholarship would greatly help
Project Working Mom On Friday, May 28 2010

@Jenise: Please see #6b, SCHOLARSHIPS, above in the Terms and Conditions.

@Joy: Sorry, but I can't answer that for you. The school would have to evaluate your transcripts to make an decision about how many credits could transfer and towards which requirements.
DeeDee On Friday, May 28 2010

The only university I was matched with for the Master program and Scholarship was Saint Leo University. I have not been contacted by no other university. So, why was I told that I would have to pay out of pocket because this scholarship would not apply? And that they are not aware of any scholarships towards grad school?

DeeDee On Tuesday, May 25 2010

The University I selected called me within the hour after I filled out the application on this website and said that for the program I selected the scholarship would not qualify. I am perplexed as to why I would be matched with a university according to the Masters degree I need only to be told that I would have to pay out of pocket...are they trying to rip me off?
Project Working Mom On Saturday, May 29 2010

@DeeDee: That's very odd. Can you please send me as much information and detail as you can to projectworkingmom@elearners.com? We'll get in touch with Saint Leo. Perhaps the particular enrollment counselor who called you did not have the latest and greatest information.
Francine Flemings On Monday, May 31 2010

Hello,

I'm a working mother with a daughter who is grown, but mentally challenged and I am a grandmother also. I am also currently attending Ashford Unversity already can I qualify?

Project Working Mom On Tuesday, June 01 2010

@Francine: Yes, you qualify, however, any already incurred expenses prior to the scholarship being awarded will not be covered. Please apply!

@Brenda Bell: Yes, you qualify as well. Please apply!
Felicia On Wednesday, June 02 2010

For many years I let my opportunity to return back to school slip away. However, in 2009 that opportunity presented itself again and I took advantage of it. I am currently enrolled with Ashford University. I am thankful for every program that assist parents who wants to grab hold to their dreams and hang on until they achieve them. Thank you for opening an avenue of hope for working parents.

Iwould like to have the opportunity to continue my studies in business. I know that I can do a big think on that. I am ready to finish my career in the United States.
G. Kenniston On Thursday, June 03 2010

This is an absolutely valuable resource for parents seeking to further their knowledge and not be limited by their lack of financial resources. Thanks in advance for making this possible for so many.
Tami On Friday, June 04 2010

Is there an age limitation for either the applicant or their children? I have a 21-year old daughter. I have had a long career with a state agency but have medical problems which may make the continuation of my career impossible. The field I have chosen is directly related to what I do now but my medical issues will not impact my ability to continue my education or pursue my line of study as a career. Oh, I am 52. Still a lot of good years left in this old girl. Do I qualify?
Jennifer Smith On Friday, June 04 2010

I would really like to expand my horizons in the field of nursing
Carl Magee Jr On Saturday, June 05 2010

Hi! to all

I look at this scholarship as a Blessing from God. this will give me the opportunity to provide for my family as the head of my house hold, I will be able to send my kids to collage, and also it will give me hope in this life to know that it`s never to late for an education/career.
Sandra On Saturday, June 05 2010

As a young single Mom, I put myself through a 2 year Associate Degree Program at a Community College and graduated with Honors. My Children are grown, but I would like to continue and get a BA in Marketing. I want to make more so I can help my Granddaughters with their higher education. Can I apply?
Jill Wheeler On Sunday, June 06 2010

To win a full scholarship, would mean that I could work in my field of expertise with no worries. My field of expertise is working with the Mentally Challenged population. To do this with no worries, in my opinion, will assist me with my ability to make a social change. Why? Because, by not worrying so much about finances, while I am working with individuals, will mean that I will be dedicating my time and energy on what really matters. And what really matters is the client at that given moment and their issues with society. Plus, I will get a chance to spend more time with my boys and my mentally challenged sister. I will be minding their well-being because I will have only one job.
Project Working Mom On Sunday, June 06 2010

@Sandra - Yes, you are eligible to apply. Please do!
Lynn On Monday, June 07 2010

Hi. It seems that the only one with a legal curriculum is Walden. It also seems that we may have to pay a good bit to them. My husband is disabled, and my company hasn't been able to give a raise in 3 years. Barely keeping our head above water.. hence my application. Any other universities that the tuition may cover more for this subject?
Amele On Monday, June 07 2010

this is the opportunity I have been looking for. I just had a baby and I am staying home to take care of the baby. While I am home I am looking for the opportunity to get my master's online but can not afford it.
Marsha On Tuesday, June 08 2010

Hello Tyra,

Thank you so much for making the opportunity for me to continue to pursue my Degree in Nursing Education. I don't know if I will end up being a candidate but I thank you for helping those who are selected. You are doing a great service to society.
D. Gilbert On Tuesday, June 08 2010

I would love to return to school and be able to become self-sufficient and show my children it is never to late to become successful in life
Yvonne Grow On Tuesday, June 08 2010

How do I enter for this scholarship if I'm already enrolled at a local community college for their nursing program? I have just tree more classes left before the nursing classes begin. Do I still qualify? It would make things so much nicer to not worry about whether or not I'll need loans each quarter.
K On Saturday, June 12 2010

Is this scholarship opportunity only for oline courses? Is it also only for schools shown below at the bottom of this page?
Project Working Mom On Sunday, June 13 2010

@K - Yes, for online study only at our sponsor schools.
La'nequa On Monday, June 14 2010

I am currently enrolled in grambling state university. I will be graduating in december. Is it possible to pursue a masters in any of the online schools? I don't understand whether I can apply or not.
Lori On Monday, June 14 2010

The field I am interested in offers a certificate program at one of the sponsor schools. Would the scholarship apply to a certificate program, as opposed to a B.A. program?
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, June 15 2010

@La'nequa: Yes, you can apply.

@Lori: If your area of interest + credential type (certificate or degree) appears in the dropdown list, you may select it!
Jose Orozco On Tuesday, June 15 2010

Is this scholarship offer only for moms, if the answer is yes, why?. Is it not discrimination?

It should be open to dads too, like me, I need a scholarship or grant to obtain a Masters' degree.
Project Working Mom On Wednesday, June 16 2010

@Jose: It's for working parents - moms and dads can apply.
Nora On Wednesday, June 16 2010

This is an outstanding chance for students to attend college. I am a 60 year old grandmother who is raising 2 of my grandchildren, since our daughter was killed a short time ago. I want to get a degree in Business Adm. I hope you don't feel I am to old.
S. Smith On Wednesday, June 16 2010

I just enrolled to Capella University and received this email. When I was going through the application process it said if currently enrolled, you can still apply. But, the rules say if currently enrolled you can not apply. Which is true because I think I should be allowed a chance also, not knowing about this scholarship.
Petra On Thursday, June 17 2010

I am trying to get a job I love , but for that I need the education.My strength is to help others , but my finances dont eloud it , I been helping teens ,young adults for many years. I like to educate myself so I can make money because our finances dont stand good since my husband lost his job .
C.H. On Thursday, June 17 2010

I just began the application process less than an hour ago and came to this page to read the rules and look at the Q&A..before I even got through half this page I already had phone calls from Walden University..that has really freaked me out since I have not even finished the application process. I'm having second thoughts that this is legit and a true chance for a free scholarship.
Project Working Mom On Thursday, June 17 2010

@Nora: There are no age requirements - you are eligible to apply!

@C.H.: Yes, this is a legitimate scholarship opportunity! The schools are simply following up with you to answer any specific questions you may have about their institution.

I apologize if this question has already been answered (I tried to read through all questions and responses) but what if I'm interested in attending another college. If I'm chosen for this scholarship could I simply transfer to one of the participating colleges to take advantage of this wonderful gift? Thanks
Sherry On Thursday, June 24 2010

I am 49 years old with 2 kids and a disabled husband. Education was never pushed in my family of origin, therefore I lack any marketable skills and must rely of labor jobs to support my family. We do without a lot of essentials and sometimes enough food. I want to change that. I am so thankful for this opportunity. If I win a scholarship it will change my life and that of my kids.
Brandi Parker-Padilla On Friday, June 25 2010

I completed the essay but once I clicked "finished" it said that I completed the scholarship for Virginia College. I wanted to complete the Scholarship application and essay for Ashford University.

Our employer laid-off 700 IT's employees and my husband is one of them, and several employees in my department area got laid-off, too, due to company reconstruction and budget cut. I felt insecure, because I am only a High School graduated, so I decided to get my degree in Business Administration. Since August 2009 my husband got laid-off, he could not find any permanent jobs, while we have twin daughters and would like to avoid our house in foreclosure. I registered with Univ. of Phoenix online in Business Administration and I need your support Tyra. Thank you very much.

marie risolo-hill On Thursday, July 01 2010

I am currently a single mother of 3 young daughters and a widow,my husband died when I was jut a few weeks pregnant with my youngest daughter who will be 2 in August. She was born blind and disabled, she has a disease called agenesis of the corpus callosum, which means that she is missing the part of her brain that connects the right side to the left side. Before her first birthday, she underwent 2 surgeries at cheldrens hospital in Boston and her eyesight was partially restored. She is currently able to crawl, she sits up, she eats all the same food tat her sisters do and she is making amazing progress, she does, however, undergo 3 treatments per week from Perkins School for the Blind, physical therapy and occupational therapy. This summer she will be undergoing one more surgery to try ande strengthen the muscles in her right eye. But this is why I am currently unable to work, because every free minute that I have is spent taking care of the baby and her two sisters, who are 3 and 7 years old. n I love my girls and wouldn't trade them for the world but it is very overwhelming at times and I am exhausted all of the time, but I want a better life for my daughters and I know the only way I can do this is by returning to school. Also, through returning to school I will be setting a positive example for my daughters and teaching them a life long lesson. I would be eternally grateful to be gthe recipient of this scholarship.

I always said I finish my college education when he was in college, but now I have MS and walking is difficult for me.

I am not sure how to go about this or what may be needed, but hope I can obtain a degree.

Yolanda On Wednesday, July 07 2010

I saw a response to a ? regarding finishing high school. I did actually finish high school and have actually been in contact with my High School since late 2002 trying to get my transcripts or just some kind of legal documentatin regarding my attendance and diploma and have been told that my records have been lost. A counselor at the school still remembered me when I called and told me he would help me get what I needed and I never heard back. I contacted the superintendent to no avail. Never got a response from him either...now what? I would love to get a degree but am at wits end on how to do that if my school won't even help me.
Summer On Thursday, July 08 2010

do you have to be a mother to get the scholarship? Do you offer scholarships for independents who are working and taking care of themselves and going to school full time?
Project Working Mom On Friday, July 09 2010

@Tanya: I'm sorry you don't like the fact you have to submit an essay. The point is not to write the saddest essay, but to be direct and concise in explaining your personal and professional goals and how an online education would allow you to achieve those goals.

@Yolanda: If you've finished HS, then you can go ahead and apply for a scholarship.

@Summer: Yes, you must be a mom or dad or legal guardian to apply. I'm sorry!
Ericka On Monday, July 12 2010

Is the scholarship paid for the duration of the degree program or just for one school year?
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, July 13 2010

@Melissa: Please discuss why an online degree is right for you!

@Linda: Sorry, but you'd have to ask the school awarding the scholarship - each school's policy varies.

@Diana: Ashford would be an excellent source to finding grant/scholarship information. Also, check with your state's higher education agency for state-specific opportunities.

I am a sinle mom with 3 boys who all have disabilities ( oldest has Autism, Severe bi/polar with psychosis, ADHD, and is severely cognitivly delayed. My twins both have ADHD and are developmentally delayd.)Not to mention that I am bi polar also. This would be such an opportunity to show my kids that even if odds are against you that you never give up even when you feel that life has beaten you down. I reaaly want this opportunity. My question is that I applied to another school that is not elligible 3 days ago and even applied toFAFSA. They said that I could qualify for up to $5000 which is definitly not enough. If I tell the schhool the school that I am going to do this program and try for a full scholarship will I burn bridges with them and the financial aid people and how do I cancel with them. I have not started school yet so I don't think I am tied to the school because I was told that I have 3 days to withdraw. The admissions lady is calling me on Monday. I am planning on telling her about this opportunity, but I am afraid that she will say I can't or that i am not allowed. If I go back into the FAFSA website can I update my colledge choice with Virginia's schooland if so I need to know Virginia's school code? Can you give me that number at my e-mail?

Thank you so much from happy moms everywhere.

My name is Natalie Kay Lovoi. I have been living and supporting three children since I was seventeen on my own. During this time I have been through the most extreme circumstances to overcome. Some of my circumstances included; foster care, teen mother, domestic violence survivor, divorce and fulltime working single mother and student. In this brief essay I hope to touch your heart and change the lives of anyone God brings into my life through my career.

When I was 13 years old the Junior High School I was attending removed me from my home and placed me in foster care for abused children. After a brief stay in foster care they placed me back with my parents and had no counseling or treatment. Terrified, I returned home. My father blamed me and moved to another city leaving me with no place to go. I kept attending school and church and living with friends.

In high school I began to work two jobs and lived with my boyfriend. It didn’t take long and I was 17 and pregnant. I was kick out of high school by the principal who stated, “Being pregnant is a disease and would spread in the school so, and I was expelled.” I found an alternative school for pregnant women and remained in church support groups and worked two jobs. My boyfriend began to resent me becoming pregnant and began to abuse me. He beat me in the hospital and left me in the waiting room for being in false labor and not knowing the difference. Nine months pregnant I slept on the waiting room floor. The real reason was I had taken him from a party and his drugs he was currently using. I gave birth to a healthy son August 11th 1989. I have never done drugs to date.

After my son was born I had to drop out of high school because the abuse became so bad. I moved out and put myself through Certified Medical Assistant program. I graduated in 1991. Meet my first husband and married in 1992. I had not received counseling at that time and fell back in the same abusive relationship, just married a different man. I lived in and out of abused women shelters and remained in the cycle of abuse for twelve years. It wasn’t until he gave my son a suicide note to give me the morning he had attempted suicide that I began to seek help. He was in coma for a week in ICU and no health insurance. During these twelve years I worked full time and attended college to get my GED and attend college with three small children. I found the strength through counseling to move out. I had little income. My husband would not seek help and he divorced me in 2003. In the divorce I could not afford an attorney and he won the house and left me with the children and all of the debt. I have raised three children and loved patients while working full time while my wages have been garnished the entire time.

I have been laid off from a job that I worked as a teacher for WSU Family Residents for the last three years. My life teaches compassion and relates to how the stress of life can affect physical health. I teach how to overcome but completing one thing at a time and forgiveness. I have one wish. I have one semester to complete my requirements to transfer to Washington State University to achieve my BSN. I will persevere!

I am a single mother who went back to school after twenty years and completed my Bachelor's Degree. In went straight into a Master's in Elementary Education and completed all of my classes with the exception of student teaching. I can not afford to quit my job since I am the sole provider for myself and my son to complete the student teaching. I was told I had five years to complete the program before losing my classes. In the meantime, I completed the state required tests to receive my "non-renewable" certification to teach GA Pre-K. I am running out of time at the state level as well. I REALLY need help to complete a program to be able to upgrade my certificate to renewable. I am out of money and out of ideas. Please help!
Yadira On Monday, July 26 2010

Being a single mom is not an easy task. After completing my Bachelor's degree a long time ago I realized that I need to adquire knowledge in other areas in order to keep myself working as I still need to sustain my family. I can't quit my job, so I would really appreciate you help in order to obtain a certification that helps me keep myself working in order to sustain my family.
Patricia Nunez On Monday, July 26 2010

I am very excited about this opportunity!As a working mother I desire to strive more, better life for my children and just to set an example,never to give up! With God all things are possible, thank you so much for this hope that is a blessing in my life!
Project Working Mom On Monday, July 26 2010

@Mary and @Michelle: You are both eligible to apply! Please do!
Johnny Reeves On Monday, July 26 2010

With many blessings, every dollar towards the greater good is much appreciated. The price of an education has become a luxury out of reach for many indigent souls like myself. The Tyra Banks production coupled with Project Working Mom is a wonderful example of a generous contribution for the greater good. I am the greater good. My undergraduate studies have been composed of health science concentration to fight for the great good. My interests and determination are a simple common effort which represents this body. I have been very proud of Tyra and I followed her career for a great number of years, including the "Michael Jackson Video" to her daily productions. I thank you.
Sharif Rosen On Tuesday, July 27 2010

I am currently living outside the US, but am a US citizen and my permanent address is in the US. Am I eligible to enter this contest? Please advise.

Thank you.
Joely Hensley On Wednesday, July 28 2010

This is a great opportunity for single moms to improve their life for themselves & their children. Life throws us so many unexpected obstacles that require mothers to put their needs & wants at the bottom of the priority list.
Valerie Conn On Wednesday, July 28 2010

My children are over 18, am I still eligible?
Lisa Markham On Wednesday, July 28 2010

I am curious after I read this statement: ALL FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL TAXES, AND ANY OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES, ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECEIPT OR USE OF THE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH WINNER.

Will I have to pay taxes on the scholarship money if awarded to me?
Project Working Mom On Thursday, July 29 2010

@Valerie: Yes, most definitely.

@Lisa: You may have to pay taxes on the scholarship - it depends on how the school awarding the scholarship chooses to treat the scholarship.
LaTisha Miller On Thursday, July 29 2010

I am currently enrolled at Everest University, does this keep from receiving this scholarship?
Naomi Millan-Bonilla On Saturday, July 31 2010

I am excited about participating in this event. Thank you for thinking of women like me.
Heather On Monday, August 02 2010

I was very excited to see this and even more excited when my zip code went through. As a military spouse currently stationed overseas many opportunities pass us by. Imagine my disappointment when it would not let me put my home phone number in, or opt to skip since we have an international number. I was unable to complete the application process due to this issue. I wonder how many other spouses tried to register for this much needed assistance and were unable to complete their entries?
Leanne On Monday, August 02 2010

Hi, I was starting to apply and the message came up about the specific schools. I am enrolled at a community college, and understand that makes me not eligable. But if I were to be one of the lucky to receive the much needed financial help, would I be eligable or be able to transfer to one of the participating schools?
Johnna Moniz On Monday, August 02 2010

I am a single working older mom. I have been deeply affected by the economy and other financial obligations. My question is I have student loans currently in default. My daughter is 19 getting ready for college. Am I still eligible to participate?
Project Working Mom On Tuesday, August 03 2010

@LaTisha: I'm so sorry, but this is intended for new students. If you're already an Everest student, you're not eligible to apply. :(

@Leanne: Yes, you can apply and if you are awarded as scholarship, you'd have to transfer to the school awarding the scholarship.

@Johnna: Yes, you're eligible to apply!
Pamella Ferrari-Easter On Tuesday, August 03 2010

I am in my late fifties, but I work with children, and would like to help them more,and hope to be given the opportunity to pursue this. I know I can change lives.
Maranda On Wednesday, August 04 2010

I am a single mother of a beautiful baby boy who just turned two weeks today! I love my son so much and wish i could provide for him and myself with out asking for help from my mother. If I could get this scholarship it would give me the opportunity to get a good job and take care of me and my baby! Thank you for this opportunity.
Amanda On Thursday, August 05 2010

I am confused. I when I applied for the scolarship it told me that Capella University is elligable but when I read the terms it told me ot wasnt. I am already attending Capella. HELP
betty interested On Saturday, August 07 2010

What about those that have never foster/guardian or been bless to have children? can they apply?
Melody Stewart On Sunday, August 08 2010

Not sure what to mark re: certificate or AA. I wanted to do Medical Diagnostic Sonography. Some tell me it is a certificate or I could do xray technology & expand from there. Is this listed & I'm missing it?? I have spoken to an Ashford counselor & know something close to this is what they offer.
Project Working Mom On Monday, August 09 2010

@Amanda: If you're already a student at Capella, you're not eligible to apply :( I'm sorry!

@Betty: I'm so sorry, but this is intended for working moms and dads.

@Melody: You'll have to go through the application process to see what programs are available for scholarships. If you didn't see it, it's not offered, unfortunately.
Micheal H. Florida On Wednesday, August 11 2010

I am a mature male,56,with adult children, but I am in dire financial need, I failed to complete my education (66 college credits completed,) which I began some time after my military tenure. My question is, would I be eligible to participate in this process? I don't require or request a hand out, but I could sure use a hand up. please reply. Also, I didn't see anything on subject or topic matter in the preceding information.

Regina Vele On Friday, August 13 2010

I have always wanted to try college. i've tried college here in vegas and never finished it. I had to chose between work and school. of course I chose work,i have 4 children and needed to work overtime jus to take care of my children and mother that was sick at that time and dropped out of school. I really want to finish something in life and show my children that they can do it too..i did finish school and have a pretty good job, but i have always wanted to have a degree in something..I do have a loan in default and am really trying to catch up on the payments..I had 1 more payment to get it out of default and had bills that kept stacking..all i need is a chance to balance alot in my life
Jim Gillman On Friday, August 13 2010

Can working fathers apply?
Elise St John On Friday, August 13 2010

My children are grown. Can I still apply?
Elise Manning On Friday, August 13 2010

I am out of work and my step-children are grown. Can I still apply for the scholarship since I want to go bck for a second Masters degree?
Karen Emery On Friday, August 13 2010

I think this is a wonderful opportunity for all. At my age, I think being able to continue with education is very important. I tell my grandchildren to be all that they can be and get that education, it is a priviledge and a honor.
Florence On Friday, August 13 2010

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the founders and funders of this generous program I do appreciate. This is what it means by gender mainstreaming and balance. I would like to congratulate the lucky winners and pray for their successful completion of their studies. They should pull up their socks without any fear or shame. Education has no age limit and it is a continuous process. God bless everybody in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ I pray Amen.
Valerie Spann On Saturday, August 14 2010

I would loves this offer, I really need this to ensure my family of continue support for the rest of my life.
Nicolette On Saturday, August 14 2010

I do not understand Rule #7-is it saying that the essay, my picture and voice can be used and changed in whatever manner the company wants? Forever? win or lose?
The Imperial_Feather On Saturday, August 14 2010

So the scholarship doesn't require the applicant to be a parent?
Grad student On Sunday, August 15 2010

I am a little unclear. On one hand the site says Capella is a sponsor and allows you to go through the application process. However the rules state that if a learner is enrolled at Capella they can not apply. I need a little clarification.
Edee On Sunday, August 15 2010

I believe that this is a great opportunity for all of us who can't afford to go back to school. I am a mother of five biological and two step-children. Twelve years ago I had to dropped out of school to work two jobs to support my children due to a divorce. At the time my youngest was one year old. I recently married and have two more children to raise. Thank you to those who are sponsoring these scholarships.
Project Working Mom On Monday, August 16 2010

@Micheal H. Florida: Absolutely! Please apply!

Maria G. Massachusett: You do NOT have to be a single working mom! This is open to married and non-married parents too!

@Elise St John: Yes, you are eligible to apply!

@Nicolette: Well, yes, more or less. For example, all the previous winners gave their permission to place their images and essays on this website.

@The Imperial_Feather: Yes, you must be a working parent in order to be eligible to apply.

@Grad student: If you are a current Capella student, you are not eligible, unfortunately.
Rochelle Williams On Monday, August 16 2010

I am currently working on my Masters of Science in Psychology. I plan to be complete by March or 2011. So my question is will it be possible for me to hold to scholarship over until I am complete with my Master and use it for my PH.D or PSY.D. In addition, there are many things, which I would like to do with my degree, if I am required to switch for an example from clinical psychology to forensic psychology will the scholarship still apply as long as the applicant attends a approved school?
bellex On Monday, August 16 2010

Karla On Saturday, August 21 2010

Is this scholarship program offered only to online students and can non-working disabled women also apply?
V. Pruyn On Saturday, August 21 2010

I started looking at ITT Tech. are they able to accept your Project Working Mom scholarsips. I've been wanting to get back to School tried a local certificate program, still paying for it,BUT no JOB. I am working on broke and couldn't afford a new program.
Project Working Mom On Monday, August 23 2010

@V. Pruyn: I'm so sorry, but ITT Tech is not a participating sponsor school, unfortunately.

@Karla: This scholarship program is for working parents. If you're a parent who's not working, that's OK - please apply!
Nicolle On Tuesday, August 24 2010

This is a great chance for me to back on track. I am a single mom of a 7 yr old son and I HAVE to show him how Education is a critical role in life and living even if you cannot afford it.
Michelle On Tuesday, August 24 2010

I've prayed for an opportunity to be able to get back into college. A lot of set backs and unfulfilled ambitions. Hopefully, both God and you see my need. And to be able to show my grandchildren the power of knowledgeand it's never to late.

Thank you for the great job you all are doing! Godspeed :)
Mike Brandt On Monday, September 13 2010

I decided to return to school after receiving a terrible diagnosis. I worked in Surgery as a Tech and was diagnosed with Stage IV-b Lymphoma. I was told that because of the Chemo, Radiation, and Bone Marrow Transplant that I would no longer be able to work in surgery. Since the diagnosis I have been on disability. It offered me the time to return back to school. I am near my goal but am unable to finish because of finances. My hope is to finish college before my 15 year old son starts. I want him to see what education can provide and it is my hope that I will be able to work to support my son while he goes through College. I plan to teach University classes when I finish and I hope that I can get the opportunity to realize my dream.
Merry Accardi On Monday, September 13 2010

I have worked in the Health Care field for nearly twenty years as a Cna.I have always wanted to further my education. However,being a single parent raising three children with constant juggilng that all single parents know about as well as the financial constraints left school on the back burner.I would love the opportunity to gain knowledge as now my children are older. As a Cna, Iv'e learned a lot about human nature in as much that no matter how young or old a patient is, all of us want to be loved and needed.
