Hi everyone! I'm a working mom who would like to advance her career in an effort to earn more money, and better support my children. My job offers a very small college tuition program ($2,000 a fiscal year - that will buy some books!), but I need help finding money to cover the rest of it.
I currently work at an agency which supports people with various disabilites. I would love to stay in the field, but move up through the "corporate" part of the agency. I have a bachelor's, but most jobs above mine require at least a masters.
So, long story not so short, I'm looking to see if anyone knows where a mom can get a scholarship to continue her education, and how to avoid all those "free money" scams.
