When we think about mothers, there is a special warmness which arises in our minds. They are the essence of everyone's life but they are always taken for granted. There are rarely occasions where in the mothers ever think about their needs and desires. Most of the mothers lack the necessary education which would allow them to excel in their careers. Grants for colleges for mothers have been launched to enable mothers to get their share of education and a chance to enlighten their lives.
Grants towards the education to mothers have been started from different agencies. The attempts by the federal government can be mentioned first, especially after the new President took control of the Presidential office. Federal grants have been targeted exclusively to meet the requirements of the mothers in a way that they can avail the opportunities to the fullest. The government intends to use at least $30-$40 billion towards state and federal grants individually. Federal grants provide a huge sigh of relief to the mothers as they need not be repaid back and also gives them this brilliant chance of returning to college again. There are different types of federal grants available according to different criterion. The most common amongst them is the Pell grants. The other federal grants include the FSEOG, ACG and the TEACH grants. The grants have to be applied online through the FAFSA website.
ELearners is an important name to be mentioned in this regard who are exclusively working towards the education of the mothers. eLearners has recently launched the 'Project Working Mom: Putting Education to Work' which is not only restricted to working mothers but also to other mothers who need assistance in moving ahead in their lives. Their target for the year 2010-2011 is to provide at least 285 full-tuition scholarships to the mothers.
We also have a number of other organizations and agencies who are putting in their maximum efforts for this great cause. Raise the Nation is an important organization targeted to enhance the lives of mothers by lighting the spark of education. A general list of the other scholarships available to the mothers has been mentioned below:
