The first most important think to keep in mind is the amount of this scholarship. Including the raise of more than a $1000 in Federal Pell Grants, this new scholarship can offer you as much as $10,000 per year. The best part about the money is that not only is it free of income tax and interest liability, but it's also not to be returned back.
Many would agree that along with money it's time that's the biggest constraint for mothers trying to muster courage to plan for education. Keeping this in mind, Obama has made special arrangements for online classes and distance education courses for mothers so that they can study at their convenience and comfort.
Eligibility criteria are not very stringent at all. All you need is to be an American citizen and more than 18 years at the time of filling the form.
Finally, to apply for this grant you just need to follow the simple procedure like you'd follow when applying for normal college education. The only extra step is to fill the FASFA form and submit along with the enrollment form.
