SpanishNet College Offers Classes

The deadline to apply for the next session of online Spanish classes from SpanishNet College is June 22, 2007. Through a grant from The Enlightenment Foundation of Florida, SpanishNet College is able to offer scholarships to healthcare providers to learn to speak Spanish.

There will be 1000 scholarships granted to nurses and other healthcare providers and administrative staff to help with their tuition for this unique online learning experience.

The Basic Spanish course begins July 2, 2007 and will continue through December 28, 2007 with three two-month sessions. The session are Spanish 101, 102, and 103.

SpanishNet College has been educating students online for thirteen years. They offer a "synchronous style of study" which enables students in all time zones to experience text, live audio as well as interactive study with their professors as well as fellow students. The school offers a wide variety of courses, and one on one attention for all students.

The Enlightenment Foundation of Florida was established just this year to promote diversity in education. For nurses and other healthcare providers and staff this grant helps to provide opportunities to break down language barriers between healthcare workers and patients and improve outcomes.

The cost of the Basic Spanish course is $600. The grant pays $300 and the student receiving the scholarship pays the other $300. For more information about this opportunity, see the SpanishNet College web site, or email Elena Montemayor, School Administrator at spanishcollege@cs.com
