“Cinema-quality video, interactive learning exercises, and the most engaging instructors from schools like Yale, NYU, Cornell, and MIT.” I have heard these online college classes are like nothing else, I’m super intrigued by them!

They are offering 1000 scholarships for a class (a $400 value, worth 3 credits from Univ of Pittsburgh) to people in the following fields:
Healthcare workers
Cashiers in grocery and general merchandise stores
Janitors and maintenance workers
Agricultural workers

If your son/daughter (or you) works in these fields, this scholarship is totally worth applying for. You have two years to use it. If you get it, please let me know how it goes. I’m so interested in these and hoping that they become more affordable!
