Even when you set up your own family, the urge to gather knowledge or to continue from those steps where you left your education, will always be there in the minds of many parents. Many of the mothers and dads still want to continue with their education but due to necessities of their family and the burden of making both ends meet, ultimately makes them resign into their own shell accepting their fate. Well, for those mothers and fathers there is news to look forward to. There are various organizations which are now popping up with the idea of providing scholarships for moms and dads and to give them the education that they always thought of achieving.

Statistics point out that more mothers than dads are getting paid meager wages and are striving hard to make both ends meet. But, the situation also points to a vast number of working dads, who are in the same situation too. Can you believe that according to the U.S Census Bureau, only 16% of dads in the US have a bachelor's degree out of the 2.1 million single dads? The percentage for the single mothers is also the same, even though their numbers are much larger, only 15% of the single mothers have managed to get graduated or acquire more education.

One of the major organizations who have come forward for the help of the working mothers and dads is the eLearners.com which is a foremost website connecting students through the medium of online education. eLearners.com have started a new project called "Project Working Mom... and Dads, Too!" website (www.projectworkingmom.com), which is a complete program providing scholarships to those mothers and fathers who wish to return to school and colleges and complete their dream of achieving a degree which will put their life right in gear and provide them a better standard of living. This project aims at spreading knowledge on a wider scale about the challenges faced by working parents due to lack of education.

Project Working Mom strives to eliminate the doubts in the minds of these parents who are still thinking about returning to school and whether the move could be feasible. These scholarships help the parents to return to schools at zero costs to themselves and the suppleness of the online classes makes it perfect for them.

Number of online colleges like Ashford University, Capella University, Everest University, Virginia College, etc. has joined hands with eLearners.com to keep Project Working Mom alive. The application process involves submitting a filled application form along with a complete essay explaining the career goals and how this scholarship would help them achieve the same.

Today's tough world does not compromise for education and if you lag behind in that, it really impedes your career. Project Working Mom is a great initiative providing scholarships for moms and dads who are on the look out for an enhanced life for them and their family.
