President Obama’s Moms Return To School grants may be hard to get if you can find out where to apply. A search of the Internet did not reveal much information about them. One thing to note is that the Obama stimulus grants are all going to big companies, local governments, and state projects so there is little to no extra government money for education grants, school grants, or college grants.
Obama student loans are still up in the air as the legislation he is proposing to make all student loans go through the government is still on hold. This is not one of the bills that is on the front burner so it may be awhile before anything is resolved in that area. A vote on the new Obama money for college proposal will not happen until this fall. Right now Obama health care is front and center as is the economy.
Back to school stimulus grants would be great especially because the cost of school and college is so expensive now. With jobs being lost and people needing to be retrained, they need to learn new skills. Going back to school to learn a new career is great if you can afford to do it but many can’t. Obama government grants are great for the big corporations but unfortunately there is just not enough financial aid to go around for the little guy.
I have found a school online to acquire my medical transcriptions.
I look forward to advancing from that certificate and moving on to
another field in healthcare as well. I’m a single mother with no
income, only a little help from my parents, and I’m 44 years old, with an ll year old son in middle school. I really would appreciate
the help to get started and maybe help us both in the long run.
It’s very important to me to work in a field that is much in demand.
Maybe I wouldn’t be embarrassed to answer questions about what I do
for a living and what degrees I have, and how do you pay your bills?
If someone would please reply and let me know if there is help
for me I would greatly appreciate it. It would mean so much to
me at this point and economic time in my life. I’ve had to move
in with my parents and brother. I would like to help myself and gain my self esteem back through learning and earning for my family.
Thank you
I already have a course of study I’m interested in and a school
I believe I would be satified with, can I still receive grant money
for picking my own online school?
If there is any hope for me to receive a student grant please inform me because im a single parent of one 6 year old son and 9months pregant and after i give birth to my 2nd child im intrusted in going back to school to study to become a funeral home director.
Okay seriously speaking, why are only the students interested in online education worth grant money? Every single loan and grant I research requires filling out forms online. I want to go to school. I don’t have time for online school. i tried it once a few years back and all the books are e-books. I can’t afford the ink to print all those books out on my printer and if i had eight hours in a day to sit in front of my computer then I have too much time on my hands. Some of us have to work and have families and can’t be on the computer that long. At least with campus college i can squeeze in a couple of classes a semester and have REAL books that I can take everywhere with me and do my homework anywhere. Yet I can’t get information on grants unless I want an online school. i can’t be chained to a computer. Am I missing something?
ok i really want to go to school. i need this grant to pay for it. if i recieve this grant how will i be notified. when will i be notified. i really need to go to school thanks.
i am currently in school for medical billing and coding and need some grant money
I want to know if there is a grant that will help you pay for school and a better computer mine it juck
I’m currently accepted as a sophomore for business, I really need this grant, there is a lot of ads for careers on line…how long will it take, where can I take more details
I’ve found that attending the University of Texas at Tyler, being a mother and also at an older age of 46, has proved only one thing. That is, the school is in favor of younger students and give help and special privaleges to those with high GPA’s. Even when a student with a high GPA fails a test, 10 to 12 points have been given to them, while students with some age and families and responsibilities have been given 1/2 to 1 point for the same test. Also, there have been mandatory rules that are broken for some students, while others are forced to be removed from the university and loose all the money and time they have invested with no help or concern what so ever of the individuals reason for difficulty. This is not slander against UT, but I myself have paid thousands of dollars and spent several years attempting to go to school for the first time and have been met with these adversaties. Not only me but I have fellow classmates who also are discouraged due to this but can’t voice their oppinions for fear of being blackballed. I have even went as high as the assistant dean and dean and also the president of the university in Tyler. My account was blocked and I was told I would be enrolled for this semester and was not. Now the deadline has passed and does anyone wish to help me with this? No. I have had the run around for months and have witnessed numerous “exceptions to the rules” but only for whom the advisors, instructors, deans and presidents’ assistants see fit to help out. So my advice to anyone older wishing to attend UT in Tyler or Longview, would be think twice. Ask around to students who did make it through as they will tell you what a headache it was. It is always unorganized and even the lecture notes we are required to have in order to pass our tests, well some of them are from years ago and even do not agree with the text books we are required to purchase. One fellow student in the level above me said their notes said on the last page that when they completed the semester they would be Vocational nurses, well these students were going for an RN so the notes must have been for a different class completely maybe even a different school. Now, as for the entire school I can not say, but I was in the nursing program and this for a fact is how it is. Check with some local nurses who graduated from UT, get your own oppinions, don’t just rely on my story.
I am not against younger students, nor am I saying they do not have responsibilities, what I am saying is when you go back to school at an older age, before you invest thousands of dollars and intend to spend 4 to 5 years, it would be wise to ask some graduates or post a blog on the school site asking other students for their oppinions. Each semester we are asked to do an evaluation on the school, every semester we tell the same things in which we would like to see changed, every year the exact same problems reoccur.
I am currently enrolled in a school that I really like. I don’t want to leave the school,but is there any help out there for me even if I don’t want to take on-line courses. I could really use some feedback on this please anyone!!
I am a new mother of a 2 month old, and had to put school on hold but now I am in need of going back. I need to take on-line courses because that is all I have time for. I don’t have enough money to pay for everything and wanted to see about getting help for school. Just browsing this and see that there is a lot of questions and no answers, how do I get any answers?
I am interested in going back to school. I am unemployed at the moment. I would like some help with this. I am 58 years old. Can I get help even if I am 58 and I do not have small children. I am interested in Medical coding and billing. I would like to have all the info I can get on this. I have very little money and can’t afford to pay for schooling. I am divorced. I get no help from anyone.
I want to go to to campus to receive my eduacation, but I have a daughter and one on the way. I cannot afford daycare, so grants are the only way I can attend school, if I receive enough to pay for daycare. I think grant money also needs to be enough to take a full course load and pay for daycare. It would be easier if all colleges offered free daycare for parents, so they can receive a college education and provide better for their families.
I am a STONG supporter of education…I am after all a teacher. After 5 years in the public school system and graduate degree, I was laid off. Ultimately, NCLB forced our district to make some very difficult and detrimental decisions that not only affect our family but most of all the students. Now I find myself and my husband (also a college grad) struggling to support our 4 kids. We thought we were doing the right thing by getting an education…now I am unemployed and we can’t pay our bills let alone repay our student loans which have a combined total of over $70,000. Where’s the help for people like us….we did a lot of things right. Our home is very humble, our cars are old, and we are not in debt by societies standards (less than $5000 unsecured) yet we are drowning in our situation. My parents always told us to go to school, don’t make the same mistakes they did….we followed their advice and now it seems our mistake is more costly. Somedays I wonder why I didn’t stay home with my kids, milk the system for assistance and be debt free. I have pride in myself and education but not in the system that has let me down.
Cassi,
The extremely high cost of a higher education makes one wonder whether it is really worth it anymore. If you are studying to be a doctor or lawyer it is, but most of us graduate with debt that we may not be able to get out of for years. College was supposed to be a fun place where you mature and learn new things. Now it has become your starting place for being in debt for the rest of your life. Maybe it is better for some to get a job right out of high school and start saving.
I am 48 yrs old a single mother of three ages 15, 12, and 9 I do not have a high school diploma or ged can i still get a grant to go back to school.
Shanna,
First I wanna start by saying I take offense on how you said “some of us have to work” I am a full time mother of 4 children age 6 and under, that is a job in its self. I am taking online classes through the university of phoenix and i love it! You do not have to print EVERYTHING out nor do I have to sit in front of my computer all day!!!! I work on my assignments as I have time there is no scheduled class time. As long as I long on and make my posts 4 days out of a week I make attendance and participation. I can do it day or night as I have a break or kids are napping. I take notes on the readings so I can do my homework at anytime so I dont have to be in front the computer or “waste” ink printing it all out. It is just like being in class and taking notes. I really hate when ppl downgrade online classes, it is no different than a traditional classroom!!!!!!!!
yes i would like to know if there are any grants out there to help you go back to high school and how i apply if there is im 24 married and got a stepson and cant afford to go to school to finish my high school diploma.. dont know if i would qualify …
I WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE MY CAREER FOR AN BETTER AND HIGHER PAY SO THAT MY KIDZ WANT HAVE TO MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
I would like to know if Obama’s back to school money applies to any college? I’m considering Prarie State College and want to know if I can obtain it thru that school.
I would like to know where I can apply for a grant to start my own business?
I would like 2 know if anyone has found a grant that works and you don’t have to pay for. I would like 2 go back 2 school for my high school diplma and don’t have the money for day care and I have to get it done because it is a court order. Any ideas please!!!
I am a wife and mother of two. I am currently working and going to school at University of Phoenix. I love online classes because it allows me to be flexible with my school schedule. My position will be outsourced in November and I will need to continue with my MBA (I am half way through right now). However, my company was assisting me with the tuition. Without that money, it will be difficult for me to continue. I will be at home with my kids and do not want to change schools. Can I get help with finishing my MBA?
