If you are a mother who had to give up your dream of higher education due to raising a family, and always kept that dream in the back of your head but your tight schedule or lack of funding kept you from pursuing schooling, President Barack Obama has your answer.
He is offering education money to these women to go after their dreams. The aid, in the form of $10,000 scholarships, is meant for stay-at-home moms, single mothers and other women who want to go back to school. Now is the time to take advantage of the funding because it will not last forever, and money is even tighter during this economic recession. With this grant, the mom doing the studying will not have to work while going to school because the education will be paid for.
Busy schedules are always an issue with mothers, but online education is available, which definitely frees up time that would be spent on the commute to and from class. If you are an American woman, then you qualify for the grant, which does not have to be paid back like a student loan. Any recent college graduate would be envious.
If you are wondering how going back to school will be beneficial, there are numerous ways. The education will give you the skills necessary to enter a career you may have been wanting to enter, and you will be able to bring in more income to support your family. You also will feel more confident in yourself. Just think how nice that new diploma will look in one of your rooms, and how great you will feel as you are heading off to your first day at a new job. Your children also will look up to you, and hopefully will want the same for themselves in the future.
