subject: Three Cheers For Scholarships For Mothers Looking To Return To School [print this page] A mother is a pillar of support to her kidsA mother is a pillar of support to her kids. She portrays the strengths and values which she wants her children to possess. She wishes only the best for her children and she will do anything to achieve that. She might work at odd jobs to increase the income of the family. But, now she needs to understand that with a proper degree or qualification, she can earn better and provide a better standard of living to her family. The government also has the same vision regarding education and thus, different scholarships for mothers in colleges have been organized so that their continuation of studies is not disrupted.
Scholarships, unlike loans, are gifts symbolizing your efforts and dedication and are absolutely interest free. Different organizations have come forward identifying the need to provide scholarships. One among them is the eLearners.com which plays an important role in its attempt to provide the maximum financial assistance to mothers to continue with their college education. eLearners.com is working along with various colleges like American Intercontinental University, DeVry University and Walden University, etc. and is proposing to offer $2 million as scholarships to working mothers throughout the nation. It has also launched a new program called "Project Working Mom - Putting Education to Work", which is a plea to the mothers out there to unearth the proper financial aid and return to colleges.
Obama's 'Moms Return to School' campaign is an extraordinary attempt at the part of the government to push the mothers to attend schools and colleges. Some of these scholarships are so prompt and helpful that if you are selected for the grant, the entire educational expenditure during the entire course of the degree is sponsored. The American Association of University Women(AAUW) works particularly for the welfare of women and provides unique grants and scholarships for mothers especially in the low-income class and also for working mothers. Raise the Nation supports the life of single mothers. It provides continuing education scholarship for those who are in dire monetary needs. Then, there are scholarships like Women's Independence Scholarship program which extends financial aid for education for the victims of domestic violence. Other scholarship programs which are also trying to make a difference in the lives of the mothers are The Jeanette Rankin Foundation Scholarship Program, Patsy Takemoto Mink Education Foundation for Low-Income Women, The R.O.S.E. Scholarship and so on.
Mothers should learn that they can hardly be the 'back-seaters' anymore. She cannot be left behind in the competition thinking that her responsibilities are different. Scholarships for mothers in colleges are provided so that the mothers learn to battle their way and try achieving greater heights by completing their education and become qualified to meet their career needs.
