Obama: To Make Scholarships Available To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, having to take care of their families all by themselves. 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. President Obama, along with his new administration, however, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will give 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 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.

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 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. By equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals, the administration also hopes that this will also stimulate the economy. Without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan, Moms can receive an education.

In addition, a great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. As well as smaller community colleges, four-year universities are covered as well. You can choose either to 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. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

The Obama scholarship attempts to take 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. Higher education doesn't have to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
