subject: Grants for Mothers: Get Money, Get Smart [print this page] Since its major collapse the American financial system has been weak with only a few signs of improvement. Many people have lost jobs, and finding new employment has been difficult. In some job fields there is little room for new workers. By many projections these dismal circumstances could continue for many more months or even years. Creating opportunity in certain areas and easing some financial burdens can help improve the outlook. The Obama administration and lawmakers have been on a mission to put consumer protections in place while still allowing business markets to prosper. Other serious changes have been made regarding education. The goal is to make loans secure and increase the opportunity for college scholarships. President Obama's Scholarships for Moms program is as straightforward as it sounds and hopefully as effective. Building for the future begins with educating moms. Obama scholarships for mothers are made possible by federal Pell Grants. The Pell Grant maximum award is a substantial $5,000. With $5,000 moms can pay for any number of school-related costs. Tuition, books, a computer and supplies or even childcare are valid expenses that can be paid with grant money. The grant also allows for flexibility in choosing a school. Grants for mothers can be used at 2- and 4-year institutions as well as some online options. Filling out the online Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first and most important step. Going online to fill out that form is the first step to receive any potential grants. There are also many other resources to help you learn about what is available for you. You may even find other tax credits or scholarships that you didn't know about. The financial aid office of the college you want to attend can also provide valuable information. Part of having a strong foundation for education is making sure there are many financial aid opportunities for students. Sending moms to school has dual benefits: preparing them to be productive members of the work force and allowing them provide for their families. Of course education's impact on families now and in the future is the primary function of the President's grants for mothers. Striving for education is a great part of ensuring a successful future.
