One of the industry’s custom e-learning development companies, eLearning.net, is awarding four scholarships for adult workers furthering their education in e-learning design, learning technologies, or instructional design. These scholarships are designed to help learning and development professionals pursue their own continuing education and apply the latest in instructional design theory and educational technologies to their work and build better training programs.

Degree programs must be offered by a U.S.-based regionally or nationally accredited institution. Certificate programs must be offered by an industry recognized organization such as ATD Education or the eLearning Guild, or accredited by an accredited colleges and universities.
