Single mothers wanting to earn a college degree can do so without having to worry about the costs, thanks to a new program offered by President Barack Obama that is awarding government grants to these women. The aid includes a $10,000 scholarship grant - and since it is a grant the money does not have to be paid back like a student loan. Ask any recent college graduate how much they are paying back in student loans. Losing that financial burden makes it impossible to pass up such funding because it is basically free money.
This funding, also known as the Federal Pell Grant, is a dream come true for single mothers because it will allow them to go back to school and become more desirable for a new interesting career, once they are ready. This will allow them to bring in a higher income, which surely is important to support their family. Also, their children will most likely be impressed with these accomplishments and the single mothers will be admired.
Those who apply for the grant but find they do not qualify should not give up. There is other government education aid available, but the funding will not last forever so applications should be submitted before it is too late because there are deadlines each month.
Anyone interested in the Federal Pell Grant, or other education aid through the government, should start checking online to get started with the grant application process. If you have the opportunity, and you're not sure, just remember that there's nothing bad that can come from free money to go back to school.
