Funding your online education

Posted by in Uncategorized Mar 12th, 2004

I found this at Distance-Educator.com about finding scholarships, grants, internships and other opportunities through a federal government website called e-Scholar. It looks like a valuable resource for looking into funding for your education.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) e-Scholar website increased to over $1 billion, the total value of educational programs available. The website, www.studentjobs.gov/e-scholar.asp, linked from OPM's USAJOBS website, www.usajobs.opm.gov, contains hundreds of Federal educational scholarships, fellowships, grants, internships, and Cooperative programs.

"This is one-stop shopping for those who are interested in accessing Federal educational opportunities," stated OPM Director Kay Coles James. "E-Scholar is an effective venue for students interested in serving their nation, and another means to attract the best and brightest to government service. Parents, professors, career counselors and students have been provided a unique resource through this initiative."

New programs are posted daily, enabling browsers to find a program that best meets their needs. Currently, just over 400 educational programs are available on the one-stop website.
