FOOTBALL PLAYERS SPONSOR SAT/ACT SCHOLARSHIPS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

After Receiving Tens of Thousands of Letters From Service Members World-Wide, A Group of NFL, NFL Europe, AFL, and CFL Football Players Extend & Enhance Their Sponsorship of $200 SAT/ACT Training to All Families in The Armed Forces.

Los Angeles California, September, 2006 After Receiving Tens of Thousands of Letters From Service Members World-Wide, A Group of NFL, NFL Europe, AFL, and CFL Football Players Extend & Enhance Their Sponsorship of $200 SAT/ACT Training to All Families in The Armed Forces. For the second year, these players have sponsored several million dollars worth of $199 SAT and ACT test prep programs to every family in the U.S. Military (all branches—active or retired). Specifically, the sponsorship allows any military person (active or retired) to request as many programs as they need for the students in their lives-for example a military uncle can use his military status to order a program(s) for the students in his extended family back home—any military person can request a program to help any student in his or her life. To have access to the sponsorship the person placing the request must be military (active or retired). The Department of Defense has created a secure website to quickly confirm a person’s military status. Personnel can access the confirmation and request pages through several military related associations and organizations, including: The National Military Families Association, The Military Impacted School Association, The Military Child Education Collation, The Department of Defense Military Student website (www.MilitaryStudent.org), and the Military Home Front website for families (www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil), all have access to confirm military status and process the order. Programs ship to domestic U.S. addresses and APO addresses. The sponsorship covers the regular purchase price of $199 and the family pays only the S&H. The programs have a one-year license and are intended for the sole individual use of students on their personal home or laptop computer and are not intended for group or classroom instruction through the schools. Requests to receive the sponsored program can be placed now on the website or over the phone.

"This is our second time ordering the donated program -- first child is in college. He took the SAT and did very well, thanks in great part to the SAT CD from eKnowledge. Thank you for making this available to us. We appreciate it very much." -Kevin Paddock
