Obama ? Means To Introduce Scholarships for Single Mothers

Having to take care of their families on their own, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. A wish or a goal for many moms that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. However, President Obama, together with his new administration, is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Working mothers are being given a great chance to improve their futures by Obama scholarships. While people of all ages are encouraged to seek higher education, Obama is urging working moms in particular with his Scholarships for Moms program. Building on The Scholarships for Moms program, is the long-standing offer of Pell grants by the federal government. The most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college are Pell grants, applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is now making some changes. For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is in the amount of money that is being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell grants is about $4,000 per student, but that amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The aim of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree that allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. In addition, the administration hopes that equipping mothers to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan. An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. Four-year university courses are covered as well as smaller community college courses. You can choose either a public school or a private one. An option for busy moms who can’t stay on campus is to study through online courses. Basically the government’s Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers who are keen back into the classroom. The Obama scholarship attempts to take a lot of the worry out of returning to school. In almost any area of interest, working moms can earn a degree. This means they can be fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education doesn’t have to be an unfulfilled wish or an unobtainable goal any longer. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
