One of the major initiatives of the Virtual Assistance University is to attract and support new talent in the Virtual Assistance Industry by improving the educational opportunities for future Virtual Assistants through scholarships.
We are grateful for the opportunity to be leaders in our industry and have created the Founders Award for budding entrepreneurs who demonstrate a genuine interest in becoming a highly trained Virtual Assistant, but cannot afford the tuition at this time.
This scholarship is highly sought after and will be rewarded on merit. The value of the scholarship is $3,250.
Applications for the 2009 academic year must be completed by Friday, October 23, 2009 at Midnight CST. Notification of awards will be completed by October 31, 2009 and the winner or winners will be notified. Applicants will not receive more than one scholarship.

You must write a 500 – 750 word essay telling us why this is so important to your and your future, what or who inspired you to take this entrepreneurial path and what your vision is for your business. Please let us know what your accomplishments relating to your current practice are.

Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information. I will also bookmark your blog and have my children check up here often. Thumbs up!
