<h1>How Mothers can Apply for Free Tuition under Obama's Scholarship for Mothers Program, and Earn their Degree</h1>Author: <a title="PATRICIA BARDOWELL" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/patricia-bardowell/280446.htm">PATRICIA BARDOWELL</a> Working mothers, single mothers, and mothers who dropped out of college previously, now have a great opportunity to apply for President Obama’s Scholarship for Mothers Program, to attend an institution of higher learning. This will offer single mothers, and other women, the chance to pursue a college degree, or complete one that they had already started, and never finished. The Scholarship for Mothers program announced as part of the stimulus package is available to residents, 18 years of age and over. It awards scholarship grants of $10,000 annually, for up to four years to individuals, to pay tuition, books, and living expenses, and day care, etc The Scholarship for Mothers program offers great benefits. The first benefit is the chance to earn a four year degree. Second, classes can be taken on line or on college campuses nationwide. Third, a college degree will give you the advantage to be promoted in your current job, or to switch to a higher paying job. Fourth, the greatest benefit is that these are not loans, but scholarships, and do not have to be repaid.   Applying for the Scholarship for Mothers grants is as easy as ABC. The first step is to find a college you want to attend. Apply to the college for admission, and once you meet the requirements of the college or university, the school will commence the financial aid process. You will be required to use the information from your current income tax return, to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The Scholarships for Mothers program is a perfect opportunity for mothers, and women, to seize upon. You can attend college at home, and will not have to contend with the traffic, day care or after school issues for your children. The program still allows you to have a full time job, while you earn your degree. Scholarship for Mothers is a grant not a loan, and the government has also increased Pell Grant, (which is also free) to $5350, for those with family incomes of $30000 or less annually. Do not let this opportunity pass you by. Return to school and either finish or start your college degree. With the Scholarships for Moms program, financial help is available for those who need it, with no maximum age limit, and it can also be used to enroll in community colleges, vocational training facilities, or in apprenticeship programs.    About the Author: Patricia Bardowell has been a professional writer over five years.
