Obama To Offer Scholarships To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. Higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, for many moms. Together with his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships will offer working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

Obama is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program, whilst still encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education. 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. Now the Obama administration is making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school.

For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is in the amount of money that is being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants. That amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The goal 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 by equipping mothers with skills 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 can choose to 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. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers 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 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.
