subject: Working And Single Moms Can Get Their Degree Through Obama's $10,000 Scholarship Program [print this page] If you are a working mother that wants to continue your education and obtain your college degree then congratulations may be in order. Thanks to President Obama you now have that opportunity and you have the chance to do so without increasing the amount of frustration and stress that you may already have in your life.
If you are ready to go back to school and need the help of a scholarship be sure to check out the ones that are specifically designed for working mothers. President Obama has taken the steps necessary to increase the Federal Pell Grant as a way to help mothers with low incomes pursue their education and obtain a college degree. This is also possible without you having to worry about having interest added on or even paying it back at all.
If you need any further encouragement consider the fact that many companies are having a difficult time finding qualified professionals to fill their vacancies. Once you have your degree you earning potential can increase as much as five times as those that do not have a degree.
If time is a problem then consider taking your college classes online, many universities are now offering this option as part of their distance learning programs. This allows busy moms to build their classes around their own working and personal schedules.
To begin with, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Assistance (FAFSA) form online to see if you meet their guidelines and see how much assistance you may be eligible to receive.
