President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. While encouraging people of all ages to seek their education, Obama is particularly targeting working moms with his Scholarships for Moms program. The Scholarships for Moms program builds on the federal government’s long-standing offer of Pell Grants. 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 the amount of money being offered. The maximum amount awarded through Pell Grants is about $4,000 per student, but for mothers who apply to the program, the amount is increased to $5,000. 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.

In addition, a great incentive for mums considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Four-year universities as well as smaller community colleges, are covered. You can go to a private school or a public 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 on study back into the classroom.

With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. 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 no longer has to be an unfulfilled wish or unobtainable goal. The Scholarships for Moms program was designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.
