At Online Masters Colleges (OMC), we know the value of education and how difficult it is to fund that education. At OMC, our goal is to help provide high-quality and highly researched online digital content to students who are looking to get Online Master’s Degrees.

We hear from several students and experts about several factors that involve in deciding about higher education. And one of the most important factors is – how to pay? That is why we work hard to create rankings of the most affordable online masters programs. But tuition fees are skyrocketing, and student debt is growing.

To help ease a little bit of burden to students, OMC will offer scholarships to students pursuing graduate-level degrees. Twice a year, OMC will offer two $500 scholarship awards to students who stand-out academically, have strong career goals, financial needs, and compelling background. Below are the two scholarship awards.
