CONFUSION OVER OBAMA GRANTS FOR SINGLE MOTHERS
There is a bit of confusion now that so many people are heading back to school or want to go back to school. Paying for your education is VERY difficult with tuitions being so high in 2010 and many women are looking for grants. There are lots of ads on the Internet saying that you can return to school with a grant. Specifically, women are going online looking for:
grants for single Moms
Obama grants for single Moms
grants for single mothers
Obama grants for single mothers
grants for mothers
Obama grants for mothers
grants for Moms
Obama grants for moms
Grants for over 40
Well, you get the idea. Many women are going online hoping to find school grants that are SPECIFICALLY for mothers and single mothers.These women probably know there are school grants for students but they are hoping to find grants that are just for moms or single moms that they might qualify for or ones that might even be easier to qualify for than normal student grants.
The truth is that there are no school grants for single moms or mothers. There just aren’t any that are targeted for those two specific groups.
Why do so many women hope to find such grants that are meant just for them? Again, it is probably because of the speech Barack Obama made last year about his desire for moms to return to school and get their degrees. Whenever a speech like that is made, some people assume things about the speech and interpret it to mean that he is setting up some special Obama school grants just for single moms and women.
After awhile, word spreads and people hear it from other people and so on. Additionally, advertisers for school loans and grants pick up on this and phrase their ads using words that make it sound like grants for single mothers really do exist. They do this to try to get more business.
In the end we have a situation like we have now: women going online everyday searching for Obama grants for single mothers or Obama grants for mothers and nothing like that even exists! There are still the regular Pell grants that women and anyone else can get but nothing just for Moms. As always, if for some reason I am wrong about this please leave a comment and let me know.
