subject: Grants for Mothers: Helping to Achieve Success [print this page] Intelligence and hard work are vital components to professional and personal success. There are many groups that are commonly disadvantaged when it comes to education, such as single mothers. To set a good example for younger generations, it's important to begin by helping those willing mothers get an education. The Grants for Mothers program is one that aims to highlight the benefits and opportunity for education. Advanced education is important in today's society, and this worthwhile program aims to help both working and stay-at-home moms reach their goals. The program draws funds from the federal Pell Grant allotment and awards as much as $5,000 per person. There is a significant list of all the school-related costs that can be paid for with the $5,000 grant. In all the system aims to be open, effective and very beneficial. The areas of study which are acceptable is another area of openness. Practically any majors and careers are suitable. 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. Even as you're sitting at home you can gain understanding of career prospects by doing web research. There are many publications that provide information about multiple industries, such as the Occupational Outlook Handbook. The handbook provides analysis about a job field's recent past as well as current trends and future predictions. The 10-year job projections can help analyze how specific jobs and an industry as a whole will perform in the upcoming years. There is another reputable federal source of job information: CareerOneStop. Professional networking sites can also give you access to important job information. Doing various searches and visiting many sites can give a 'big picture' view of the areas of interest to you. Higher education is probably even more important in troubled economic times. In fact, now is a great time to earn a degree to prepare for the demands that will rise.
