But what about men? There are lots of men that are also in the same situation as women and they want to go back to school to get their degrees as well. Now that jobs are so hard to find, if they can’t get a good job, maybe it is the right time for men to also try to return to college and finish their degree.

Obama school grants pretty much is about Pell grants and not much more. As I have spoken about before, there are no special school grants, education grants, or college grants that President Obama has started. Pell grants have gone up a bit so you get a bit more in 2010 than you did in 2009 but that is about it.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails lately with headers that look just like the one above (without the “not”). Usually they are in my spam folder but occasionally one slips through into the real folder. They seem to lead to different online colleges or some other college placement type website.

Is it true that you can really get $10,000 from Obama or an Obama school grant? Or are these emails just more of the same over the top advertising to get your attention and mislead you? I clicked a link that said “financial aid packages” on one of the sites and this is what I got:

I don’t know where they are coming up with the 10K number…perhaps it just sounds good. The numbers above ($5,350 and $2500) don’t even add up to $10,000.

Obama school turnaround grants have been in the news lately but those are grants that are going to be given to the schools that are successful in well, turning themselves around. They are not grants for individual people like moms who want to go back to school.

Advertisers continue to feed off of and use the public’s perception that there are real and new Obama debt relief grants, Obama back to school grants, Obama grants for moms, and any other kind of Obama government stimulus grants that they are now entitled to and can get. The truth is that there is very little out there for the average person that wasn’t there before Obama got elected.

There are new amounts available for Pell Grants but it is not that much more than before and it hardly keeps pace with inflation. Certainly the increase doesn’t match how much college tuition is going up across the country. Anyone can apply for these school grants and may even be lucky enough to get one. But is Obama just giving away $10,000 for anyone to go back to school like these ads want you to believe? Nope, not even close.

The price of a four year college is rapidly climbing beyond the means of normal Americans. Yesterday there were rallies around the country at college campuses by angry students who were protesting the ever rising cost of an education along with more and more cuts. You can read about it here.

The cost of a college degree is simply not worth what it costs today and one can only wonder what it will cost in the future. There are Obama school grants that the President has proposed to the tune of 900 million, most of which would go as an incentive for high schools to get their acts together. In order to get any part of that grant money, schools would have to show that they are making a turn around in many different ways including sometimes firing the current staff. You can read about that story here.

Why is it that even with the help of stimulus money from the federal government, more and more high schools and colleges are having to cut back and increase classroom sizes? Our children are not getting the best education they could be and the price keeps going up! What has happened to our education system? Private colleges can charge what they want but there are hundreds of state schools that the government could lower the cost so that average people can pay.

The Obama stimulus grants that are being given out seem to be going just to big businesses to bail them out. Shouldn’t our education system be getting a shot in the arm as well? Every President seems to act like they are big on education but it keeps on getting worse and worse all the while becoming more expensive at the same time!

No wonder there is great interest for Obama back to school grants for moms and anyone else that can get them. Right now, you have to be rich to go to a good college or you will end up deep in debt. We can’t have all our college graduates be in debt from student loans for the rest of their lives and the Obama student loans proposal will not help very much if it is passed. While lower interest rates for student loans would be nice, what we need desperately right now is lower tuition for everyone!
