Bugs, $100,000 and Working Moms
What an amazing week!
I tried a new way to gather scholarship success stories for the website and was inundated with responses. I heard from a woman who owns a pest control company (The Bug Lady) who also oversees a scholarship fund, a woman who raised $100,000 in scholarship money to attend college and now is headed off to law school and an organization that helps moms pay for online education. The stories just kept coming in. Of all the people who submitted stories, only one of them represented a scholarship that I already knew about (Dell Scholars).
What I learned is that the people who give out the money are very passionate about their causes. The people who win the money are very passionate about pursuing scholarships. In both cases, they never give up to make their voices or their stories heard.
If you have a scholarship success story that you would like to share, please email me:
kim at scholarshipstreet dot com (in the proper format, of course).

There are many unknown mom scholarships for mothers wanting to return to college so they can increase their job skills with hopes in securing a high paying job thereby increasing their quality of life for themselves and their families. If your a mom you should search for womens scholarships as well as mother scholarships to find more of them.
