| Single Mothers - The Time to Go Back to School Has Never Been Better With Scholarships and Grants! |
If you are a mom and you are considering going back to college, this may be a very good time to do it. Although well paying jobs are scarce now, having a college degree is going to be very important when the economy bounces back in the next few years. Through a series of new or expanded programs, the Obama administration is making it easier for moms to complete a college degree or to get a new one.
First of all, the Federal Pell Grants are being increased for low- and middle-income students. The maximum amount of the grant is now $5100 instead of $4050, and may increase further in the near future. If you are a low-income single mother this is one of the best college grants you can get. Applying for a Pell Grant requires filling out an application that contains informatio n about your income as well as your college plans.
Also, the American Opportunity Tax Credit program has been extended, and may give you a tax credit of up to $2500 for the first $4000 of higher education expenses. This tax credit applies not only to offset college tuition fees, but is also avilable to purchase text books and computer equipment. The Federal Pell Grants and Tax Credits are also available to student who take online college classes.
Take advantage of Obama's program before time runs out. If you wish to go back to school and get your education to receive a better paying job, now is definitely the time!
