Obama Is Bringing In 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.

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 builds 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. Now the Obama administration is making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school.

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 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. By equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals, the administration also hopes that this will also stimulate 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 added incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Both four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can choose either to go to a private school or a public one. For busy moms where staying on campus isn't an option, online course study is offered. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt which attempts to get eager mothers 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 no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
