subject: Obama's Scholarships For Working Moms: Making Impossible Dreams Possible! [print this page] Author: Tiffany Nelson Author: Tiffany Nelson
It seems like mothers have always placed the needs of their family above their own needs. They so often have put their dreams and goals on hold to do what they feel is needed for their children. Obama's Scholarships for Moms now makes a way for them to go back to college and attain their educational goals, and also improve the future outlook for their family. Would you love to go back to school and get your degree, but it seems like an impossible dream?
The 2009 Stimulus Package held a good deal of funding to assist people who are economically distressed. Educational funding is one of the important priorities of this administration, and it was addressed in this funding. President Obama knows that education can be a bridge out of poverty. When a mother is allowed to return to school and improve her career outlook, a whole family is positively impacted.
The Federal Pell Grant immediately became a priority for the Obama Administration immediately upon entering the White House. This program is one of the most popular and widely known of the financial aid programs available. It is based only on financial need, and most moms will qualify for this. They have raised the maximum amount of this funding to over $5000. Most people will receive more funding than in previous years, and more people will be able to qualify for the program.
You could be a stay-at-home mother, a single mother, or a working mother and still qualify for Obama's Scholarships for Moms Program. You may have given up the possibility of ever achieving your goals of an education. You may have thought your family would never rise above the economic circumstances in which they are stuck right now. This program could give you a way to improve things financially for your family, and you could raise their standard of living, too. There is another benefit that appeals to a mother's heart even more; children often follow their parent's example when it comes to education and career goals and achievement. Wouldn't that be great? You could change the entire direction of your family's future!About the Author:
