Are college grads better mothers?

A new survey conducted by eLearners.com found that 24 percent of Americans believe women with a college degree are better mothers than those without.

The website is a resource of EducationDynamics, a company that connects prospective students with online degrees. It also sponsors Project Working Mom, which helps establish and fund educational resources for working mothers.

Other survey results showed that 36 percent of Americans ages 18-24 think women who graduated from college are better mothers than those who didn't graduate, compared to 23 percent of older Americans.

"Although a mother's education does not dictate the love she can give her children, it may impact her ability to assist with academic development, as well as role-model the importance of school," said Helen MacDermott, content director for eLearners.com. "This could explain why through our Project Working Mom campaign, we've found being a role-model one of the primary reasons moms are applying for the full-tuition scholarships."

To date, Project Working Mom has awarded more than $6 million in full-tuition scholarships to about 250 parents.
