You may not be aware that the federal government is very concerned with assisting single mothers to go back to school. The new administration has placed a great priority on making Obama's 'Moms Return to School' Government Grant Scholarship available. You should find out as much as possible about what benefits you could derive from this program.
Even though the economy is not very encouraging at the present time, it is a good time right now to think about returning to school and getting a college education, particularly for moms. When the recession ends, and history shows they always do, there will be a demand again for qualified workers. So, having your degree will put you first in line to get your dream job.
One of the first moves President Obama did when entering office was push to get the Federal Pell Grants increased for those who have financial need. Instead of a $4050 maximum award, $5100 is now the top amount you can receive. There has been discussion of soon increasing it even more.
For single moms, this is the first grant you want to look into. Your application for this grant begins by figuring out which college you are hoping to attend. You need to be sure you can get your course of study at that school before you continue your application. Then, you need to complete a FAFSA form, which is usually done online. Some schools will assist you with completion and submission of this form.
There are also tax benefits for moms returning to college. It is called the American Opportunity Tax Credit program. The first $4000 of your college expenses are free.
You can also obtain grants through Obama's 'Moms Return to School' Government Grant Scholarship program to fund college courses online. This is often the best option for a mom returning to school since they can continue their education while spending time at home with their family. It also prohibits the need for child care expenses during class time.
There are other grants and scholarships that you can investigate. Some are geared especially to moms and single mothers and could even provide more assistance than the Pell Grant.
