Woman's World Magazine Features Scholarship Created By eLearners.com To Help Dreams Come True

Women, Enter to Win a Scholarship to Continue their Education!

For many people interested in going back to school, the biggest obstacle is ... drumroll, please ... the cost. Okay, okay, no big surprise there.

A recent study, Degrees of Opportunity, indicates that half of all adults in the U.S. between the ages of 25 and 60 want to further their education. However, many people don't pursue this dream because of financial constraints. Well, that's why we've created the eLearners.com "Where Learning Begins" Scholarship, to be featured in the September 4th issue of Woman's World magazine.

To apply for the $1500 scholarship, interested current and prospective students will need to write a personal essay in 1,500 words or less explaining why a degree is important to YOU. The essay should include details about your life and career goals and any personal challenges or obstacles you may be attempting to overcome in order to pursue your education. Go to http://www.elearners.com/ww/ to apply and read the fine print!

"College is expensive and unfortunately affordability often keeps people from pursuing the career they always wanted," said Andrew Gansler, CEO of eLearners.com. "This scholarship is our way of reaching out and helping one deserving woman reach her goals."

Our scholarship application site also includes inspirational stories of women who understand the joy, frustration, excitement, anxiety and sense of accomplishment that comes with going back to school. Read their stories at http://www.elearners.com/ww/.

Good luck! Entries must be received by 10/4/07.
