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

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 builds on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. The most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college are Pell grants, applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The Obama administration, to encourage more mothers to return to school, 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 aim 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. 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. Four-year university courses are covered as well as smaller community college courses. You can 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 is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers back into the classroom.

With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. In almost any area of interest working moms can earn a degree, thus they can be fully equipped to provide for their families. An unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal no longer has to be higher education. Designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children, is the Scholarships for Moms program.
