Obama: To Make Scholarships Available 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. 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.

While encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, Obama is particularly targeting working moms with his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the long-standing offer of Pell grants by the federal government. 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. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is making some changes now.

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 for mothers who apply to the program, that amount is increased to $5,000. 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. By equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals, the administration also hopes that this will also stimulate the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school.

An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. Four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can go to a private school or a public one. For busy moms where staying on campus isn't an option, online course study is offered. Basically the government's Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen back into the classroom.

The Obama scholarship really takes a lot of 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 no longer needs to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
