I wrote a post here about the Obama back to school grants for moms that so many people are looking for. My conclusion was that there is nothing new that is specially set aside for school grants from this new President.
He has raised the Pell grants cover by about a $1000 and there are some tax benefits too that you can get for part of the tuition cost. Other than that, there is nothing really specific or new from Obama regarding new grants or new loans.
If you are looking for some Obama moms back to school grants, there is a free drawing every month for a $10,000 scholarship. It is totally free to enter and all you have to do is sign up for it. They have additional drawings every month and actually you don't have to be a mom to win. All you have to be is 18 or older and it is 100% free to sign up - Scholarships 4 Moms.
Any moms return to school program sounds great but my research shows there isn't any such specific program. (if I am wrong please leave a comment and let me know) Getting a job right now is hard so it is a good time to return to college (if you can afford it) and finish your degree. If you are able to do that, by the time the economy picks up, you will be better equipped to get a job with your completed education. You might be able to use an Obama grant or loan to go back to school but it seems there are no such things, at least at the present time.
GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE HARD TO UNDERSTAND
With the election of a new president this year, more people than ever are looking for Obama government stimulus grants. They hope that there is more grant money available for personal financial assistance and they want to know where to go to get it.
Just like almost everything the government is involved with, not only is there a lot of red tape you have to cut through but the whole grant process is very confusing to a normal person. The main government website is Grants.gov and if you go there and start poking around, your head may begin to spin.
On this page here about who is eligible for a grant, you find out that you must go to another website if you are seeking a personal grant or student loans. It seems the grants.gov site is just for businesses and state governments hoping to get grants and not for individual people. Who knew?
There are several other websites listed and lots of confusing things that lead you to one page after another. Any person on that website who is looking for a personal grant or Obama back to school grants for moms is likely going to leave without any clue of what they need to do. You see, in order to understand that website and the whole grant process, you almost have to be a lawyer or someone who is highly educated. The government never makes things easy and understanding grants, who they are available for, and how to apply for them is something that is not clearly explained.
Government stimulus grants were not designed as personal grants for everyday people and there is little stimulus money that is allocated for that purpose. If you do want a grant for your business, your home, your education or any other personal reason, it is going to be very difficult for you to understand exactly what is available and where to go to try and get it. This is just another typical government puzzle that we all have to muddle through to get on with our lives and try to make it better.
