Obama Setting Up Scholarships for Single Mothers

Having to take care of their families on their own

, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. A goal or a wish for many moms that has to be put on hold because of family responsibilities, is higher education. 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. 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 long-standing offer of Pell grants. The most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college are Pell grants. These 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 in the amount of money being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants, but that amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. 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 in equipping mothers with skills to earn more money as working professionals will also stimulate the economy. Moms can receive an education without the worry of the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan. In addition, a 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 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 attempts to take 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 doesn't have to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
