ESSEX JUNCTION, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A working mother and teacher earning her online doctorate degree in education is the winner of a $1,000 GetEducated.com/Core4Women distance learning scholarship.

Danielle E. Williams, 32, is the first winner in the new GetEducated/Core4Women scholarship program.
