Obama Is Giving Scholarships To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. For many moms higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities. President Obama, along with his new administration, however, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will give 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. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the federal government's abiding offer of Pell grants. 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 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. 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 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.

Another great incentive for moms in considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in almost any type 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. If staying on campus isn't an option, busy moms can opt 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 really takes 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 unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
