Obama Initiating Scholarsh Ips For Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, having to take care of their families all by themselves. For many moms, a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. President Obama, along with his new administration, however, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships.

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

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is the amount of money that is being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student. 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. That in turn allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. The administration also envisages that in equipping mothers with skills to earn more money as working professionals will also stimulate the economy. Moms can receive an education without the worry of school costs or of repaying a loan.

An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. Both four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You have the choice of going 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. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom.

The Obama scholarship attempts to take 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. Higher education doesn't have to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
