Minneapolis, Minn. (PRWEB) January 31, 2008 -- Capella University (www.capella.edu), an accredited, fully online university (http://www.capella.edu/online_university.aspx) with more than 20,000 students, has awarded $10,000 scholarships to ten students enrolled in Capella's project management (http://www.capella.edu/schools_programs/area_of_interest/project_management.aspx) specializations.
