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. 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. President Obama, along with his new administration, however, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships.

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. 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 for the Scholarships for Moms program is in the amount of money being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants, but 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. That in turn 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 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 can choose to 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. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

The Obama scholarship basically takes a lot of the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest working moms can earn a degree, thus they can be fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education doesn't have to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program is intended to create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
