Have you heard that President Obama wants mothers to go back to school? It was one of the main topics that he focused on when he was sworn into office, and with good reason!
Mothers who have a college degree are putting themselves in a much better position to gain a well paid job - and give their children a role model to look up to.

You may be a mom who has thought about going to college, but money always holds you back.
For many moms it seems like a pipe dream being able to go to school AND raise a family at the same time. Whether you have one child or five, paying for your own education plus spending money on your kids is an impossible dream for most.
A recent report stated that Obama's Pell Grant Proposal would make education available for an extra 260,000 students and he is hoping that many of those will be stay at home moms, single moms and even working moms who wish to go to college through a grant or scholarship.
The amount of the Pell Grant has also been raised: in 2010 it will be ,550.

This is great news for mothers who don't want to give up their home commitments, but still want to reap the benefits of studying!
