Obama to Offer Scholarships for Single Mothers

Posted By: Greg Prather | Posted On: 2010-03-15 | Article ID: 390799

Having to take care of their families on their own, single, working mothers have perhaps the toughest job of all. Higher education is only a wish or a goal that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, for many moms. President Obama, together with his new administration, is, however, encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are giving working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

Obama is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program, whilst still encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program builds on the federal government's long-standing offer of Pell grants. Applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college. To encourage more mothers to return to school, the Obama administration is making some changes now.

For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is with the amount of money being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants. That amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. These grants are intended to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree. That will allow them to better provide for their families now and in the future. The administration also envisages that by equipping mothers with skills to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about having to pay back money for a loan, or the costs of school.

An additional great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly all types of higher education institution. As well as smaller community colleges, four-year universities are covered as well. You have the choice of going to a private school or a public one. For busy moms where staying on campus isn't an option, online course study is offered. A comprehensive attempt to get eager mothers back into the classroom is the government's Scholarships for Moms program.

The Obama scholarship attempts to take the worry out of returning to school. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest. This means that 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 is designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
