Obama: Means To Introduce Scholarships For Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, having to take care of their families all by themselves. For many moms, a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships.

Obama, whilst encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, is urging working moms in particular to participate in 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 FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), 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. $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. These grants are intended to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. That will allow them to better provide for their families now and in the future. In addition, the administration hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without the worry of school costs or of repaying a loan.

Another great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. As well as smaller community colleges, four-year universities are covered as well. You have the choice of going 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. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. An unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal no longer has to be higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
