Ashford University has awarded ten full-ride online degree program scholarships to working parents from across the nation through a partnership with elearners.com and the Project Working Mom and Dads advocacy campaign.
“Applications included some of the most painful, touching and inspiring essays as part of the process,” said Debbie Mitchell of Mullen Public Relations.
While five online universities and colleges participating, Ashford University was chosen by more than 41 percent of the applicants.
Ashford University's full-ride, tuition-free scholarships are for online degree programs ranging from associate's to the doctorate level.
"Online higher education provides working parents with flexibility in earning their degrees,” said Jane McAuliffe, president of Ashford University.
Four of the scholarship winners reside in California. They include Erin Buck from Vacaville, Clara Galvan from Alta Loma, Donna Perry from Los Angeles, and Cecilia Portugal from Daly City.
Richard Shields of Longmont, Colorado, and Gail Kenny from Prescott Valley, Arizizona, are also Western states winners.
Two of the scholarship recipients are from Maryland. They include Agaba Bisengo from Silver Spring and Terry Satchell from Easton (pictured). .JPG)
Michael Kurilovitch from Niagra Falls, New York, and Jacklyn Schmetzer from Ashburn, Virginia are also Eastern states winners.
