Obama: Going To Make Scholarships Available To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. A goal or a wish for many moms that has to be put on hold because of family responsibilities, is higher education. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are offering working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

While encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, Obama is particularly targeting working moms with 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 making some changes now.

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is the amount of money that is being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants. That amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The purpose of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. In turn, that will allow them to better provide for their families now as well as in the future. In addition, the administration hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan.

An added incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. As well as smaller community colleges, four-year universities are covered as well. You can choose to go to a private school or a public one. One option for busy moms who can't stay on campus is to study through online courses. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. 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 has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
