Press Release Summary = Leading the way for online colleges in offering more and
better services is Virginia College Online.

Press Release Body = February 27, 2007 Phoenix, AZ -- Online colleges all offer
degree programs and the tuition bill that goes with it, but with so much competition
for students some are now offering much more. Today\'s best online colleges are
catering to the needs of the student beyond the classroom by supplying career
counseling, financial aid and a number of other services usually only found at more
traditional campus-based universities.

Stan Banks, President of Virginia College Online, says, "The best online colleges
have the resources in place to offer their students a complete package of services.
We have a full financial aid department to assist students through the process,
including experts on alternative educational funding such as the Montgomery GI Bill.
Every student who applies to Virginia College Online will have a financial aid
advisor to help him or her through the maze of obtaining loans, grants and
scholarships."

Today\'s better online colleges don\'t stop helping students once the last class is
completed. Career services include assistance with resume writing, job-seeking
techniques and how to interview well. At Virginia College Online, all of these
services are offered in addition to job placement assistance.

"An online education shouldn\'t be an impersonal experience that is just about what\'s
in the curricula. Online degrees are challenging, so the colleges that offer them
should have the support resources in place every step of the way for the students
when they need them. At Virginia College Online, we pride ourselves on offering
that kind of support," declares Banks.
