With our new president, Obama, in office, new things are surfacing in the education field. He has been stating that he wants moms to go back to school ever since he enrolled in office. Moms who have a college degree definitely fare better in the work world. For those of moms who want to go back to school, this is a dream come true. And for single moms, it’s a blessing.
Obama Has Increased the Pell Grant
One of the first things Obama did in office is to increase the Pell Grant by $200 making the 2010-11 academic year funds $5550. This extra $200 will come in handy for moms who want to go back to school.
Another good thing is that the Pell Grant can be used for online school so for those moms who work all day and are busy in the evenings, using the internet to go to school is a wonderful option.
Obama Wants Single Moms To Go To School
More than ever, Obama is stressing to single moms to go back to school. With the option of using the Pell Grant for online education, it is easier than ever for single moms to earn their degree.
What Are The Benefits For Moms Going Back To School?
For those moms who are still unsure about going back to school there are definitely some benefits to going back.
- You can train for what’s in demand. This can put you ahead of the employment curve
- The time you take to earn your degree online will come in handy once your children are grown up

i think president obama is doing a great job already. moms work hard enough as is and there is no better gift than a government grant helping someone get their education. with the recession, now is the time for a forced, or even un-forced career change.
