Many people have asked how they can make a donation to the EEC Scholarship Fund in honor or my husband, Jeff Eaton. I have set up a PayPal link to make it easier for those who would like to make a donation online.

(If you don't have a PayPal account, please drop down to the smaller words that say, "Don't have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available)." Then click the link that says "Continue".)
This scholarship fund will be available to help families who are facing a family medical crisis such as cancer or the death of a parent. I can remember many times in the past few years when families have had to reluctantly quit homeschooling due to hardships like these. I, myself, have been faced with the possibility of needing to go back to work in the public school system to support my family. It is my hope that this scholarship fund will help families who are facing a health crisis and allow them to continue homeschooling during this critical time in their child's life.
Donations can also be made by check made out to "Extraordinary Education". Please put "Scholarship Fund" in the memo area.
