PROJECT WORKING WORKING MOM...AND DADS, TOO

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, only 15 percent of single mothers have a bachelor’s degree. A college degree often generates higher wages, better career opportunities and job security.

But continuing with an education as an adult may be out of reach for many. If you have been considering going back to school but it is not in your budget, there is a program that can help.

The Project Working Mom Campaign is helping busy moms go back to school by offering scholarships to a selection of colleges. The five participating schools are Ashford University, Ashworth College, Capella University, Everest University and Virginia College Online. And this year, the campaign has partnered with the National Center for Fathering, and includes fathers as well. “Project Working Mom…and Dads Too” is available for those who are single, married or have grown children.
