Ellis College of NYIT, a Leading, Accredited Online University, Awards Inaugural Provost And Chairman College Scholarships
Stamford, Conn. (PRWEB) May 25, 2007 -- Ellis College of NYIT, a fully-accredited online college offering career-based distance learning to working professionals, have awarded students William Vardeman and Catherine Smith the inaugural Ellis College Provost College Scholarship and Ellis College Chairman College Scholarship respectively. Providing free tuition towards a subsequent Ellis College online course, the combined value of the college scholarships is $2,600.
Vardeman of Holly Springs, N.C., has been awarded the Provost College Scholarship for academic merit for earning a grade point average (GPA) of 3.95 in Ellis College of NYIT's interdisciplinary studies program. Despite facing numerous setbacks, including losing his jobs in the aftermath of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Wilma, Vardeman's determination will make him, at 60 years of age, the first person in his family to receive a four-year college degree. Upon graduating from Ellis College, Vardeman hopes to start his own advertising business.
Smith, a single mother of two from Moody, Ala., currently works two jobs to support her family. Despite these difficult circumstances, she has been able to successfully balance her coursework in the Ellis College online psychology program, maintaining a strong academic performance and earning the Chairman College Scholarship. Smith looks forward to continuing her degree studies at Ellis College of NYIT in order to advance her career and have the flexibility to spend more time with her children.
Offered throughout the academic year, the Ellis College Provost and Chairman College Scholarships are available to both active undergraduate and graduate students who have completed at least nine credits at Ellis College of NYIT. Students applying for the Provost or Chairman College Scholarships have the opportunity to keep their applications on file, eliminating the need to submit a new scholarship application each term. In addition, in order to maximize the number of students who can benefit from these awards, a student is only eligible to win the Chairman or Provost College Scholarships once per year.
"Ellis College of NYIT believes nothing should stand between someone's desire to learn and their ability to do so," said David Harpool, Ph.D, provost for Ellis College of NYIT. "Mr. Vardeman's and Ms. Smith's strong performance, dedication, perseverance, and resounding ability to overcome adversity are an inspiration, and I am proud to recognize them as the first recipients of these prestigious awards."

Why You Should Volunteer At Your Local School
I started volunteering at my son's school when he was in preschool because the school's director required all parents to do volunteer duty. At first I rather resented the burden especially when it meant giving up my lunch hour to supervise the school lunch room and recess. Now that my son attends public school I willingly give up four hours a week to help his teacher. What has changed my mind about being a school volunteer? There are three key reasons that I changed my mind about being a school volunteer and whether or not you are a parent these reasons should apply to you as well.
