Obama Is Planning 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 wish or a goal for many moms that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. President Obama, along with his new administration, however, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will offer working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

Obama is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program, whilst still encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program will build 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. The Obama administration is now making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school.

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is the amount of money that is 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 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 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. Four-year universities are covered as well as smaller community colleges. You can choose either to 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 unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
