Obama - Initiating Scholarships for Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, having to take care of their families all by themselves. 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. With his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are giving working mothers a great chance to improve their futures. While people of all ages are encouraged to seek higher education, Obama is urging working moms in particular with his Scholarships for Moms program. The Scholarships for Moms program will build on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college, and are applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The Obama administration is now making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school. The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants, but that amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The aim of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree that allows them to better provide for their families now and 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 having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school. Another great 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 have the choice of going to a private school or a public one. An 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 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. Higher education no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal. Designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children, is the Scholarships for Moms program.
