GOOD MORNING I AM INQUIRING ABOUT THE OBAMA SCHOLARSHIPS, WHEN I FILL OUT THE APPLICATIONS IT ALWAYS GIVE ME SCHOOLS THAT I DON’T WANT TO ATTEND. I ATTEND ASU WEST AND I HAVE FOUR CLASSES LEFT TO FINISH, AND I CAN’T CONTINUE MY EDUCATION BECAUSE I HAVE MAXED OUT MY STUDENT LOANS FOR AN UNDERGRAD STUDENT. IF I HAVE OF KNOW YOU DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A 4.0 WITH EVERY SCHOLARSHIP I WOULD HAVE DONE THINGS A LOT DIFFERENT. I GUESS WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS COULD I FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND PUT WHAT SCHOOL I WOULD LIKE TO FINISH AT?
THANK YOU

Hello, I would love to go back to school at this time. I have worked for General Motors for ten years, thinking that is where I would retire. Well since the plant has closed there is no other choice but school. I can not survive as a single mom with the rate of pay offered.I am now 36 years old with a high school daughter trying to start over. How do I begin the process for the grant?

Hi there, I am a single mom who is working as a teacher on call and would like to take the special education diploma so that I have more opportunities to get a full time posting, plus I enjoy working with students with disabilities. Thank you, Tina

Hi my name is Jillian I am inquiring about the mom’s go back to school scholarships I tried in 2009 to go back but the school I was attending was changing fees there was not the right amount of attention and help needed to meet my financial and educational needs, the teachers were not helpful if I asked a question it was an impersonal refer to this that never answered my questions. I want to get a degree and be able to support my family and give them the lives they deserve. Unfortunately I have yet to find a way to do that, as someone else stated above when you fill out the forms it sends you to schools you are not interested in, I am interested in a specific program Liberal Studies, specialization in Emerging Media, from which I will earn a Bachelor’s Degree at a specific school Devry University. However none of these applications bring you to this school or program I am very passionate about my writing I have been since I was a child, I love to write and have been told by my peers and teachers that I am very good at it and would like to pursue it as a career goal but cannot financially afford to how can I go about applying for this scholarship or others like it to help me to meet my financial needs and educational and career goals?

Good Afternoon, I would like some information regarding the Obama scholarship. I am trying to complete my graduate degree and in doing so I am not eligible for other financial aid. I am unemployed and would like to take advantage of the free time and to remove the identified barriers to employment. I have received information regarding the AARP scholarship but it couldn’t be used for graduate studied. I have exhausted all of my ability to get financial aid after applying for financial support for my three children. Now I can’t go any further unless I get funding.

I am tanisha vaughn. I am a single mother of twins and am trying to go to school as a massage theapist @ centura college in newport news va. i am trying to better myself and be able to support my kids as well. It has been very hard for me to accomplish my goals in my life right now. I tried getting a job and i either get a interview and not get the job or not get called back. plus everytime i try to accomplish anything in my life there is always someone who trys to put me down because of my disability. Everytime that happens i decide not to do it anymore. so this time i am not taking it no more . am going to stand up tall and show everyone that i can do it. but my only issue is having the funds to do it. so i was wondering what i need to do to get a scholarship. thank u and have a nice wonderfull day. i am glad that u are our new president.

love tanisha vaughn

To restrict on the basis of gender is sexist and discriminatory. There are plenty of men taking care of kids in a single parent setting that are going back to school.

I am a 41 year old single mother of 2 boys and am currently living in a homeless program in Vista, Ca. Any suggestions on how I would go about applying for this Grant program…? Thank you!

I am currently attending Grand Canyon University. It is my dream to give back to the system that once helped me. I am currently struggling with my finances due a lost of job. I will start student teaching in January 2012. This further complicates matters because the hour that I could work do not consign with the fact I have no one to help get my daughter to school on time. If I accept a job, I must make sure I have the ability to get her to school on time and I must be able to pick her up on time. When I finish school in May of 2012 I am going to be a mastered prepared Certified Special Education teacher. It is my goal to be employed in a title one school. I want to make an impact on my student by investing my time to become a professional special education teacher. I need funds to help me and my daugher who is currently in special education. When I was a special ed student, I longed to be normal. I never knew she would have the same label. Nonetheless, I want to be an example for my daughter and other people who struggle to provide a future for their families. I live in a constant learning mode. Because, never do I want to be without of a job and depended on the walfare system to survive.
It is in my heart to become a special education teacher because I know that not only my students would benefit, but this journey will provide me with professional growth and positive change in my future as well as my daughter’s future. I don’t want to live off the system, I want to earn my degree and give back to the system one day! Thanks in advance for all your support.

Hi, My name is Marcella; I would like to learn more about the single mothers’ scholarship. I am a single mother of four children; in addition, I care for my 75 year old disabled grandmother. I dropped out of school when I was in the 8th grade in 1992 to be a mother. I returned to school a little over a year ago. I am pursuing my dream of becoming a licensed nurse Practitioner. I currently attend Columbus State Community College. I have been full time (between12-15 credit hrs per quarter) My GPA is currently at 3.6 and I have earned 50 credits. I am planning to transfer to Ohio State University, though the cost is unreasonable for the student loans that I get. I have tried to squeeze a part time job in my schedule; but, wasn’t able to keep up. This scholarship would help me tremendously. Please send me the details about the application process. Sincerely, Marcella,

Hi,

I work two jobs right now and that isn’t going to cut it. I recieve no help from the government. If I got this scholarship it would help me out tremendously, so please send me details about this application.
Thanks,

I would like information on how I can apply for scholarship, Im in the process of obtaining my associates degree. any other financial assistance is welcome.

how do you apply I cannot find the application anywhere! Please help!

I am a mom of two. I found a schooling program I would love to go to school for but right now we are living on unemployment and I want to go back to school to finally get a career that I will enjoy. The school does not have finacial aid. Just a payment program which I still cant afford at this time. I would like to find out if obama’s moms back to school can help me with this.

Hello, I was also interested in the scholarship program. I am a single mother, who is a senior at Bellevue University in Omaha, NE. I have recently found out I exahusted my pell grants and I need to finish my CIS BS program at Bellevur U, but can not afford it. I do know I will be employable if I am able to finish my degree. If there is any way I could get assistance with this, I have no problem paying it forard so I could assist others who despetly wouls also love to be able to support themselves, thier family and become self sufficient.

This sounds too good to be true!! I love that our president has created a scholarship program for single mothers! As for the individuals needing this money for graduate school, -stop- this is for people like me who have nothing, since you already have yours, help those who dont.

Again, Mr President thank you for sharing a program that has been around since 1965, I just didnt know a single mom could get it.

You sir get all the credit
