subject: Grants for Mothers: Higher Education for High Achievement [print this page] If you want to achieve great things in business generally a good education is key. Some people have suffered from lack of opportunity, and that category too often includes young mothers. It provides a strong foundation for future generations when their moms can expand their own knowledge. The Grants for Mothers program is one that aims to highlight the benefits and opportunity for education. The program was touted by President Obama as a way to help mothers gain entrance into institutes of higher education. The program draws funds from the federal Pell Grant allotment and awards as much as $5,000 per person. With the $5,000 moms can pay for tuition and books or other things like travel costs or childcare. Hopefully this lack of undue restrictions helps moms realize the opportunities available to them. Diversity is an important word as it relates to the list of acceptable majors. There are almost no limits on the areas of study that can be taken up. Whether it's a focus on industry or art, there are many study programs that can provide the education for a steady career. Accomplishing personal work goals always begins with taking advantage of good opportunities. Moms and anyone looking forward to a successful future can only prepare themselves now. One way to enhance your preparedness is to do online career research. There are many publications that provide information about multiple industries, such as the Occupational Outlook Handbook. Produced by the Department of Labor, the OOH is valuable resource to research many areas of employment. As its name implies, the handbook is primarily valued for its ability to analyze the outlook of a job sector ten years down the road. CareerOneStop is another resource by the Department of Labor, and it can provide information about necessary training, average salary and projected growth for different jobs. Often regular search engines can lead to avenues of trusted information. Oftentimes there are patterns in the information that is available that can provide hints about what career choices are most viable. Access to education shouldn't be stifled because of hard times. Education and training can prepare many for the work demands of the future. The Scholarships for Moms program can help ensure that mothers are in a better position financially in the coming years.
