Won a Scholarship!!!

I won a scholarship to get my MBA!  I found out earlier this month, but realized I haven't blogged about it.  Oops.

Here is an article about the program: http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0509/p01s02-usgn.html

Before I wrote my essay on why I wanted to continue my education and how it would change my life, I had to choose the school I wanted to attend from the ones listed in the article above.  I chose AIU - more specifically http://www.aiuonline.edu - because they offer a 10 month MBA, which I had never even heard of before.

Classes start June 9th and I will graduate April 26, 2009, if all goes well.  Hubby & I have both considered getting our MBA's in the past, but he is currently working on his CFP license and has completed other needed licenses for his financial practices.  I put it off for financial reasons - plus having our son.  The planets aligned this month though, and I know this is part of God's plan for my life.

Part of the acceptance package was that I agree to let them use my story for publicity for the school and for Project Working Mom.  See more about them here: http://www.elearners.com/projectworkingmom/

Go me!!
