As part of the Project Working Mom campaign, which provides working moms the opportunity to receive a full-ride scholarship to one of the following schools: American Sentinel University, Ashford University, Capella University, Everest University or Penn Foster College, the first 400 scholarship applicants can receive the free book by checking a box on the scholarship application form saying they want “Life as a Single Mom: It Isn’t Easy or Is It?”. Clark’s book talks about the ten steps women need to take to achieve success as a single mom and includes a compilation of inspiring stories from 47 single moms. The book was released in October 2007 and 100% of the book sales are donated to My Daughter’s Keeper, Inc. to support its mission and programs for single moms.
“I wrote the book to help women see that ‘yes’ they can make their dreams come true,” said Clark. “Self-empowerment, confidence and education are what every mom, single or married, needs to have to succeed for themselves and their family.”
The book promotion starts Monday, August 25th when Clark will be featured in a radio interview at 11 a.m. EDT on WDAS-FM in Philadelphia, which can be heard on 105.3 FM in the Philadelphia market or at http://www.wdasfm.com/ nationwide. To apply for the scholarship women can go to http://www.projectworkingmom.com and submit an essay of 1,500 words or less that describes their life, education and/or career goals and explains how an online education will help them to reach their education goals.
Clark is the national spokesperson for Project Working Mom. The initial Project Working Mom campaign, which launched in January 2008, received more than 50,000 applicants, from working moms looking for financial aid to get the college degree they need to advance in their career. Due to the overwhelming demand for the scholarships, eLearners.com created Project Working Mom 2 in June 2008. The deadline to apply for a full-ride scholarship to Capella University, Ashford University and Penn Foster College is August 31, 2008. The deadline for Everest University and American Sentinel University is September 30, 2008.
“The thousands and thousands of essays we’ve received from working moms pleading for help to pay for college is heartbreaking. We are looking for more ways to help them and are thankful we are able to help some moms finally get the education they need to move into the career they’ve always wanted,” said Terrence Thomas, EVP Marketing for EducationDynamics.

i think every women in this world should recieve atleast the basic education because afterall she is a life giver and she can not be in the dark if she has to enlighten her children….
atula, you are quite right about the importance of women’s education. It will benefit the woman herself but also her children and her wider family will benefit from her education.
I would love to go back and study something that I could add to my freelance aspirations, instead of those things that could be parlayed into being an employee in someone else’s business.
Does anyone know of any programs like this for single dad’s? My brother is a great single dad but can’t catch a break! Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
