eLearners.com, a web resource of EducationDynamics, announced the launch of Project Working Mom 2, an advocacy campaign that provides working mothers the opportunity to receive a full-ride scholarship to online colleges and universities. The first $2 million in scholarship funding, which was awarded around Mother's Day, attracted more than 50,000 applicants, prompting eLearners.com and five schools to offer another $2 million in scholarships to working moms. American Sentinel University, Ashford University, Capella University, Everest University and Penn Foster College have joined forces to help working moms overcome the obstacles of time, money and confidence to achieve their educational dreams. The deadline to apply for a scholarship at www.projectworkingmom.com is August 31. Need someone to talk to? Meet Anna Smudge, an 11-year-old girl with an uncanny knack for listening, who holds therapy sessions in a cramped storage closet in the lobby of her New York apartment building. Anna Smudge: Professional Shrink is book one in the new mystery series, The Professionals, about a motley crew of sixth graders who combine their unique, grown-up talents (therapist, chef, crime-sketch artist and more) to track down the terrifying criminal mastermind, Mr. Who. Available on Amazon.com for $9.99. Eliza and the Moonchild When a small moonchild grows tired of his white, colorless home on the moon, he journeys to the earth in search of something different. He arrives at night and is disappointed by the darkness until he meets Eliza, who assures him that the morning will be colorful. Sure enough, the daylight brings a beautiful assortment of colors the moonchild has never seen before—and Eliza shows him a very special way to take them all back to his home. Heartwarming and unique, Eliza and the Moonchild, by Emma Chichester Clark, features bright and vibrant illustrations. Perfect for children learning their colors, Eliza and the Moonchild is a beautiful and imaginative story of friendship. $9.95 on Amazon.com. Story toolsToday’s Top Stories |
