Obama Will Offer Scholarships For Single Mothers

Single working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all

, in having to take care of their families on their own. A goal or a wish for many moms that has to be put on hold because of family responsibilities, is higher education. 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.

While people of all ages are encouraged to seek higher education, Obama is urging working moms in particular with his Scholarships for Moms program. 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, applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is making some changes now.

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. That amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. These grants are intended to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. That will allow them to better provide for their families now and in the future. In addition, the administration 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. Both 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. The government's Scholarships for Moms program really is a comprehensive attempt which attempts to get eager mothers back into the classroom.

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 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.
