Obama Intends To Introduce Scholarships For Single Mothers

Single working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. 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. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will offer 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. The Scholarships for Moms program will build on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. 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. Now the Obama administration is 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. 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. 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 hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan, Moms can receive an education.

An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. As well as smaller community colleges, four-year universities are covered as well. You can 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. 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 really takes a lot of the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest working moms can earn a degree, 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.
