Obama Intends To Introduce Scholarships for Single Mothers

Having to take care of their families on their own

, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. 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. 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. 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 in the amount of money 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. In turn, that will allow them to better provide for their families now as well as 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 worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school. 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 as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. 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. 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, thus 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 is designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
