Whoever says, "there is no such thing as a free lunch" obviously hasn't applied for an Education WorldŽ Platinum Visa Card over the Internet. If they did, they would receive a $25 credit to their first Education World Visa statement - perfect for a classroom pizza party or any other "free lunch." After all, the Education World Visa is designated as an avenue to give to education.

In addition to the "free lunch," a percentage of purchases made with the Education World Platinum Visa will go to fund the "Grants for Educators" program. Each year, 40 grants will be awarded to teachers across the nation to fund exciting and new educational programs.

The grants will be in $250 and $500 increments during the school year and into the summer. Education World's president, Rob York, said, "Education World is proud to be a part of this innovative grants program, it greatly contributes to our commitment of helping the education community excel."

Anyone interested in applying for the Education World Platinum Visa card or the grants may visit the Education World Web site at www.education-world.com.
