Obama To Offer Scholarships To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all

, having to take care of their families all by themselves. 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 offer working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

Obama, whilst encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education, is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is 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.

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 for mothers who apply to the program, that amount is increased to $5,000. 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. 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 added incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type 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. An option for busy moms who can't stay on campus is to study through online courses. 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 basically 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 was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
