Obama To Give Scholarships To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. A wish or a goal for many moms that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other 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.

While people of all ages are encouraged to seek higher education, Obama is urging working moms in particular with his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the federal government's abiding 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. The Obama administration is now 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. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but 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. In turn, that will allow them to better provide for their families now as well as 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. Moms can receive an education without worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school.

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 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. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

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. The Scholarships for Moms program is designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
