Opportunity.gov: Get Learned About Education
By Jared Newman
You wanted the government to be transparent and connected through the Internet? You got it, with a new Web site accompanying President Barack Obama’s latest plan to give money to the unemployed, should they choose to enroll in college instead of looking for another job. Opportunity.gov outlines the steps you can take to get Pell grants, which are traditionally available for low-income students. There are numbers to call, links to applications and a FAQ, all on an easy-to-read Web site, free of clutter. If you’ve got a steady job, you can still feel connected by scrutinizing the stimulus plan at Recovery.gov. Hooray for the Internets! [Opportunity.gov]
