| Posted: 21 Dec 2010 12:08 AM PST Posted on: Tuesday, 21 December 2010, 00:01 CST GetEducated.com awards $1,000 online college scholarships to three distance learning students pursuing bachelor in business, online health, and MBA degrees. The winners of these free college grants have displayed excellence in online education at Indiana Wesleyan University, Dakota State University, and Baker College Online. Burlington, Vermont (Vocus/PRWEB) December 20, 2010 GetEducated.com awards $1,000 Excellence in Online Education Scholarships to three distance learning students. These winners were chosen to receive online college grants based on their academic excellence and a 500-word essay, explaining the importance of a college degree. GetEducated.com is the only consumer group in the U.S. dedicated to helping students rate, rank, and compare accredited online colleges and universities. Twice a year, the distance learning experts provide financial aid through GetEducated's $1,000 Online College Scholarship program. Dayna Shong, 39, works as an inpatient coder at Regions Hospital in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and she will use the free distance learning scholarship to pursue a distance bachelor of science in health degree at Dakota State University. "I decided to take the most difficult class I could find to prove myself during my first semester. I studied harder than I ever have in my life," explains Shong. "To this day, this is my favorite class. I found studying about anatomy, physiology, procedures, and vocabulary fascinating. I was hooked from day one." Accreditation was the highest priority for Shong when choosing DSU to pursue higher education. The Health Information Administration program is fully accredited by the Regional Board for the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Heather Ellison, 36, works as a restaurant manager in Rodney, Minnesota, while earning a master of business administration (MBA) at Baker College Online. She is also a winner of a GetEducated.com $1,000 distance learning scholarship award. Ellison is a single mother working 50+ hours a week, so distance learning became the only option for her to achieve a higher education. After working in the restaurant industry since she was sixteen, Ellison now values the importance of a college degree. She admits, "After a lot of self-examination, I realized that I really needed to make a change in my life and my career so that I can have a better quality of life for myself, and for my son." In the future, Ellison hopes to enroll in online graduate classes and work toward a Master of Health Services Administration. She wants to show her son that it is never too late to follow one's dreams and build the courage to actively pursue them. Rosa Morgan, 42, is a paraprofessional at Lebanon Middle School in Whitestown, Indiana. She will use the GetEducated.com free $1,000 online college scholarship toward an online Bachelors of Management at Indiana Wesleyan University. At ten years old, Morgan moved to America from the Cape Verde Islands, located off the coast of Africa. School was challenging for Morgan, as she was placed in bi-lingual immersion classes. Without any prior experience speaking English, she struggled to keep up with her studies. Now a single mother of four daughters, Morgan is motivated to excel in her studies and provide a bright future for her family. In 2006, she returned to school. In 2008, she graduated with an associate degree from Massasoit Community College in New York. Morgan explains "It is difficult at times, but I know that education is one of the most important things in life, so I am determined to achieve my goals." GetEducated.com will continue to offer free online college scholarships and grants to distance learning students in the spring and fall. The deadlines for these scholarship awards are March 15 and October 15. Contact: Vicky Phillips, GetEducated.com, LLC, Burlington, VT. 05401. 802-899-4866.

"Through our partnership with Academic PartnershipsTexas A&M University-Commerce will deliver to such students the same dynamic A&M-Commerce curriculum offered in classrooms, but at the time and location that is most convenient for them." As a higher education service provider, Academic Partnerships works with partner institutions, which now include A&M-Commerce, to support existing academic excellence and help broaden its partner institutions' ability to deliver quality education to a wider range of students. "We are pleased and proud to work with an institution dedicated to providing a personal education experience for a diverse community of life-long learners," said Joe Lynch, Executive VP of Corporate Partnerships. "Academic Partnerships is dedicated to complementing the Texas A&M University-Commerce mission as we seek to help the university expand its outreach to more students online." All courses offered in both of these new online business degree programs will be designed and taught by Texas A&M University-Commerce faculty. Both the online EMBA and the online BSBA course length is 10 weeks, with four start dates offered through the year, beginning March 28, 2011. Registration for online classes that begin in March gets underway December 20, 2010.
