Obama To Set Up Scholarships To Single Mothers

Single working mothers have probably the hardest 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. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are giving 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. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the federal government's abiding offer of Pell grants. 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. The Obama administration is now making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school.

The biggest incentive is the amount of money that is being offered for the Scholarships for Moms program. $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 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 added incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Four-year universities are covered as well as smaller community colleges. You can choose either a public school or a private 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 attempts to take 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. An unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal no longer has to be higher education. Designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children, is the Scholarships for Moms program.
