Scholarship for single parents

Recently, we were approched about advertising a new scholarship on our blog. As we read the criteria and benefits, thoughts went through our head such as - "no way" or "this is too good to be true." But sure enough, this is a great opportunity for parents who are trying to complete their education but through online courses.

Check out the Online Colleges.org Support a Student Scholarship for Single Parents for a $10,000 scholarship! It is open to "any single parent enrolled in a degree program with a significant online component."

We are unsure if this is open to HB 1079 students. One requirement is that students should be receiving some sort of financial aid but it does not specify if this means private scholarships.
