subject: Scholarships Help Moms Earn A Better Life [print this page] Mothers have a hard life, especially single moms who work more than one job just to make ends meet, or even stay-at-home moms who are burdened with all the work of taking care of the kids. Life does not have to be this hard. Mothers know they have chosen this life and think they cannot better themselves but this is a common mistake in thinking.
Scholarship money is available for these women so that they can go back to school and earn a better living. This is important especially in today's time, as groceries are more expense and more than one income is needed to make a household survive above the poverty level. Jobs that pay minimum wage are no longer an acceptable way of life, but that is all people are qualified for if they do not have the right education.
President Barack Obama's Scholarships for Moms program has worked to provide funding to mothers who are looking into higher education. Obama does not want people living in or below poverty levels, which is why this program is important to his administration. Mothers interested in education should take advantage now while there is still funding available, because it will not last forever. Surely there is a career you have always thought about working in. Well why not make this dream a reality? You can go to school under an Obama scholarship, and not have to pay it back. Then you will be a desirable candidate for that job.
Mothers often second-guess themselves when it comes to going back to college, but this is working for lots of moms. If time constraints have you worried, consider taking advantage of an online program. This helps with the schedule, but make sure the kids know to leave you alone while you are doing your schoolwork. The family will need to work together so that you can successfully graduate. The quality of life will be better once that degree is earned, and your family will be grateful for that. Also, think of your children. They will be more likely to go to college if their parents went.
To figure out how to apply for this funding, make sure to do your research. You may find several online applications which earn you a chance to get some funding and get started with the process. Make sure you pick a school that has the program that you are interested in.
