American mothers are going back to school with the scholarships for moms program. If you are a mother and the mention of a scholarship plan furthering your education makes you excited, then you need to take action! If you have any apprehensions or doubts about the credibility of the some scholarship programs, here are a few details that should help clear your doubts.
We realize that the largest obstacle facing any mother, especially a single mother, wanting to further her education and get her college degree, is that of how she will finance it. This problem has being addressed by the US Government and they have made some changes to the funding of the Pell Grant. The amended funding as passed by Congress, and signed by the President, puts the maximum student award at $5,500 for the July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 academic year.
The other obstacle facing a mother wanting to further her education is time. When a mother is trying to balance young children and her job, it can be extremely difficult for her to manage. So it is obvious that time is a huge factor for a mother especially one who works as well. Keeping this in mind, the universities and the colleges that are participating parties in the scholarships for moms drive have announced several new online and distant learning programs that make it very easy for mothers to pursue their studies at their own pace from the comfort of their homes.
These days with the economy the way it is, it is not an option for a mother to take on the burden of paying back a student loan. So mothers should take advantage of the various scholarships for moms programs available to them so that they can continue their education and get their degree.
Mothers celebrate yourselves and invest in your futures. Find more information on the scholarships for moms program and the US Government funded Pell Grants in the link below.
