GetEducated.com Online Education Scholarships for Core4Women Members
Financial Aid Information  >  Guide to Scholarships and Free Money

Core4Women logoCore4Women is a new online community that matches women who want to earn their degrees online with women who are experts in distance learning.

Gail Weatherly, distance education coordinator at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, started the group on the Ning social networking site as part of a pilot project. The first members were low-income single mothers living in a group home in Texas, who wanted to use online education to help become self-sufficient.

Later, the online community widened its reach to include military personnel and spouses. In July, the group opened to the general public.

GetEducated.com is offering its support to Core4Women through four, $1,000 online education scholarships to be awarded to "mentees" in the community later this year. Two of the scholarships will be awarded to women who are enrolled in Core4Women through a Texas non-profit agency that aids women, Buckner Family Place, and two will be given to female servicemembers or spouses who are enrolled through a military base in Texas. Recipients must be taking at least half their courses online to be eligible.

Core4Women stands for "the Collaborative Online Resource Environment for Women." The group is comprised both of mentors—women who are familiar with online education—and mentees, who are new to the field.

Women make up the majority of distance learners at both the graduate and undergraduate level (about 60 percent in 2007-2008, according to the National Center for Education Statistics).
