Single Moms Get The Degree They Need To Improve Their Lives Through Online Education Programs And Scholarships And Grants
College is a wide open world for anyone who wants to become a student – and that isn’t limited to just teenagers anymore. Millions of adults across the nation are currently enrolled in courses, looking to complete their college degree. Many of these adults have one thing in common: 13 percent of them are single parents, trying to support a family while also trying to graduate.
Paying for school can be difficult at any income level and just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean it gets any easier. Being a single parent means you have your family to care for and their needs often come first, making it almost impossible to have anything left over after the paycheck is cashed to put towards school. Happily, there are billions of dollars available in financial aid and much of that cash flow is directed specifically towards single parents.
Many students may be unfamiliar with their options when it comes to student aid. For single parents, the most widely available assistance is usually in the form of grants. Grants are similar to scholarships in that students don’t need to repay the money after they’ve graduated. In a scholastic sense, however, grants are more typically awarded based on need and scholarships on merit.
Single parents are most likely to neglect themselves in order to make sure their families have everything they need. College often falls by the wayside, pushed to a secondary (or even tertiary) slot. In actuality, earning a college education isn’t a selfish step that will take away from your family. It’s one of the best things you can do as a single parent for your family.
The first step in applying for any financial aid is filling out a FAFSA. The FAFSA – which stands for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid – is a form that covers basic financial information for students and can be filled out online or in person. The Department of Education begins accepting applications January 1st of each year. Federal money is issued on a first come, first served basis, so it’s better to turn your FAFSA in as close to that date as possible.
The largest supplier of financial aid funds in the United States right now is the federal government. In fact, they offered $168 billion in assistance for the 2010 – 2011 school year alone. The amount of money that they have to offer makes the federal government on of the most reliable places to go for need-based aid in the form of scholarships and grants, both of which are perfect for single parents searching for tuition assistance.
The other two places to go for tuition assistance are your school, your state and finally, private lenders. Single mothers especially make up such a large segment of the college population that many schools and states offer grant programs specifically for single mothers. Many private corporations and not-for-profit organizations also aim to assist single mothers and single parents – you can talk to your financial aid office at your college in order to get more information.
Paying for college may seem completely impossible, especially as a single parent trying to make ends meet on your own without assistance. The fact is that there is a large amount of financial aid available for all students, and much of that money is specifically set aside for single parents in the form of federal grants. Participating in accredited degree online programs and earning a college degree is one of the best decisions parents can make for themselves, their family and their future.
