March 1, 2008 - Operation Life Transformed (OLT) is proud to announce the
participation of the Association of the United States Army's (AUSA) Family
Programs Directorate in their spouse and caregiver scholarship program.
AUSA Family Programs has pledged to provide two, $2000 scholarships through
OLT to be used to pay for online training and certification for military
spouses and care givers to our nation's war wounded service members.
AUSA Family Programs is committed to OLT's goal of supporting military
families who are managing the long term care of injured service members by
providing military spouses and other caregivers with training in careers
that fit well with the mobile military lifestyle. Jobs such as medical
transcription, coding and billing can move with spouses and are flexible
enough to allow caregivers to keep up with the demanding medical schedule of
a recovering service member.
About AUSA Family Programs: AUSA Family Programs' mission is to ensure that
the interests of Army families are represented in Congress and to provide
Army families with information and resources to help them manage the
challenges of military life. The Directorate, founded in 1999, is part of
the Association of the United States Army, a private, non-profit educational
organization that supports America's Army. Learn more at www.ausa.org.
OLT's Executive Director, Tania Mercurio stated, "Support from distinguished
organizations like AUSA, confirms to us, that we are providing a service
that is certainly needed in the military community and that others, are
willing to join us in our mission."
Winners of the AUSA/ OLT scholarships will be announced in the near future.
