Women and mothers in America have a great opportunity to be successful and have a better life. If you are ready to go back to school and you are a mother, the time is right. There are scholarships available to assist women to further their education. What has been known as the "Barack Obama Scholarship" is actually the Pell grant. Now there are many private companies that help give women scholarship money to go to school on. These programs have been popularized under names such as: the Obama mom return to school program and the Obama grant for moms programs. Other names inclue the Obama college scholarship and Obama grant for mothers. Any way you look at it, our President is helping to increase the Pell grant and now more and more private companies are giving away money to help mothers.
