subject: Education Grants for Mothers: Build for Our Future [print this page] The US economy continues to struggle, and that unfortunately leaves many people with uncertain futures. Recent reports indicate that a large number of unemployed workers will remain without work for months to come. For new workers and young professionals, the outlook in many areas is filled with few prospects. It's regrettable that many analysts think these employment trends will continue. Creating opportunity in certain areas and easing some financial burdens can help improve the outlook. President Obama and Congress have attempted to make home ownership easier and make fleecing the consumer harder. Education has also been a major focus. There is more emphasis on making sure students have access to safe loans and college grants. This includes Obama's Grants for Moms program. Building for the future begins with educating moms. Obama scholarships for moms come from the federal Pell Grant allotment. Under the new system moms can get as much as $5,000 for their education. Many single mothers have lower incomes so this grant program is particularly aimed at them. There are expected expenses like tuition and books, but for mothers childcare is also important which is why it can be covered as well. It's an added bonus that the program lets you choose the institution that's best for your needs. Of course colleges and universities are valid school options, but there are also some opportunities for online courses. The results of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will determine eligibility for scholarships and grants. The online form is necessary and easy to complete. There are also many other resources to help you learn about what is available for you. You may even find other tax credits or scholarships that you didn't know about. Checking a school's financial aid web page or calling the office is also a good way to get information about available money. In the realm of education, scholarships and grants are a key component for a strong system. When moms earn grants to enroll in college they're preparing themselves to contribute valuable ideas to the work force and to provide substantial support for their families. Obama's scholarships for moms will go a long way toward changing things in a positive way. It is the educated men and women of today as well as children who are gifted with education opportunities that will lead the country toward a brighter future.
