Obama To Offer Scholarships To Single Mothers

Having to take care of their families on their own

, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. For many moms higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, 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. 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. These are 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.

The biggest incentive is the amount of money that is being offered for the Scholarships for Moms program. 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. That in turn allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. The administration also 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 the worry of school costs or of repaying a loan.

Another great incentive for moms in considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in almost 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. 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 attempts to take the worry out of returning to school. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal. The Scholarships for Moms program is designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
