Obama: Planning On Introducing 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. 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. Obama scholarships are giving working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

With his Scholarships for Moms program, Obama, while encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, is targeting working moms in particular. The Scholarships for Moms program builds on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. Applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college. The Obama administration, to encourage more mothers to return to school, is now making some changes.

The biggest incentive for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student. 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. The administration also 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 the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan.

Another great 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 a public school or a private one. If staying on campus isn't an option, then busy moms can 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 attempts to take 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 has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
