Raising a child along with discharging other household responsibilities and getting educated at the same time is difficult. When the household budget is tight, it becomes really hard to pay for ones education even when deep down you know it is the right thing to do.
The President Obama administration has offered help in this regard, if you want to learn and get a degree in a faculty that you like. Through these grants for moms, the government has given an opportunity to achieve the goals that you would like to attain.

Grants for Going Back to School
President Obama signed a bill to increase the Federal Pell Grant amount. It is one of the government grants enabling students from low-income families to complete their undergraduate or post baccalaureate education without facing too much financial difficulties.
The applicants have to fill in the Free Application for Federal Students Aid (FAFSA) form as the Pell Grant application and submit it to the authorities to be considered for the grant. The amount that will be granted to a mother depends on her enrollment status, whether it is a full-time or part-time career education course.
It has been accepted that the cost of education is a major hurdle for many. This is especially true in case of a mother, whose need for acquiring a college degree usually takes a backseat in preference to that of her family.
However, one must understand that a person with a backing of a college degree has a lot more career opportunities and the chances of retaining a job, even when an economic crisis rips a society, are high. College grants that are on the offer are just for fortifying you against such an eventuality.
The aim of these grants is to transform you from a person with no higher education, easily replaceable, to one who can handle a job loss or a layoff with the Knowledge. If you are such a person wishing to be educated, Obama grants can help you pay for childcare, computer, college tuition, books and other expenses of lodging and boarding.
Well, the fairy story doesn't end here. The provisions of the American tax credit program enables you to receive the first $4,000 of Obama grants for single mothers as tax-free income. The only snag in this arrangement is that you have to pay for your expenses upfront and the financial aid benefits will be reimbursed to you later on.
If you are a single mother raising a child along with work to pay for both, it is no wonder that you have to discontinue your education. However, grants for single mothers brings you a glimmer of hope of a career, and the much coveted financial stability.
If you wish to make a career if you are backed with a scholarship, here is a chance for you. Grants to go back to school allow you to attend a nearby university, if it has the course you want. Also with a child to look after, you may want to stay at home and join an online degree course with the money provided by grants.
You can pay attention to your child while getting your degree and a high paying or a stable job. Even if you fail in acquiring the grant due to Pell Grant eligibility criteria, you have the option to search for other student loan programs run by private organizations.
