Obama Giving Scholarships To Single Mothers

Having to take care of their families on their own

, working single mothers have probably the toughest job of all. Higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, for many moms. Together with his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships.

Obama, whilst encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the long-standing offer of Pell grants by the federal government. Applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is now making some changes.

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but for mothers who apply to the program, that amount is increased to $5,000. These grants are intended to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. That will allow them to better provide for their families now and in the future. By equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals, the administration also hopes that this will also stimulate the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school.

An added incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can choose either a public school or a private one. For busy moms where staying on campus isn't an option, online course study is offered. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

The Obama scholarship basically takes a lot of the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest, working moms can earn a degree. This means they can be fully equipped to provide for their families. An unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal no longer has to be higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program is designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
