Obama: Intends To Introduce Scholarships For Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest 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. 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.

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

The biggest incentive is the amount of money that is being offered for the Scholarships for Moms program. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but that amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The goal 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. The administration also envisages that by equipping mothers with skills to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without the worry of the costs of school or having to pay back money for 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. Four-year universities are covered as well as smaller community colleges. You can go 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. Basically the government's Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen back into the classroom.

The Obama scholarship attempts to take the worry out of returning to school. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education doesn't have to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal any longer. Designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children, is the Scholarships for Moms program.
