Obama 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. 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. Together with his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are offering 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. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the federal government's abiding 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. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is now making some changes.

For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is with the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but for mothers who apply to the program, that amount is increased to $5,000. 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 envisages that by equipping mothers with skills 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. Both four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You have the choice of going to a private school or a public one. An option for busy moms who can't stay on campus is to study through online courses. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt which attempts 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, 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.
