Obama Offering Scholarships To 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 higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities. Together with his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will give working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

While encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, Obama is particularly targeting working moms with his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is 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 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 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. In addition, the administration 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. Four-year university courses are covered as well as smaller community college courses. You have the choice of going 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 really takes a lot of the worry out of returning to school. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest. This means that they can be 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 is intended to create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
