Financial Aid Resources: Government Scholarships for Moms

You should not feel that since you are now mom, you cannot study. This is certainly not true. Yes, it is quite true that as a mom, you have a lot of burden on you. But you can still study. This is what our president Obama has pointed out. He has made it quite clear to the authority that they should do something for the moms. He feels that the moms should not be forgotten and they should be rewarded for the pain they bear.
As per the Obama's stimulus plan, around $10000 has been fixed for each mom in America. Thus all the moms are entitled to get this money from the government. Hence, they can now sit back and then continue their study.
It is really quite sad that most of the single moms cannot continue their studies. They have to put their studies on hold. Hence the president Obama has certainly made it quite clear that they are quite important. They need some sort of compensation. We all know that his stimulus program has definitely become quite popular. It has something for all the people. He has not forgotten the mom as well. The amount of $10000 is not a small one. All the moms can use it to pay back their fees and also spend something on their family. In this way she will be able to take care of her studies as well as their families.

There is none other point. However, the survey suggests that most of the moms want to go to their college. We have seen in the past that so many ladies have done such a good thing for the country. You can find young ladies in almost every field. But do you feel that without studies they will be able to do what they are capable of doing. They will definitely not be able to do anything. This is certainly a big concern. If I am not wrong then around 30% of the populations are moms.
All of them are definitely quite capable of doing something extra ordinary. But most of them lack higher education. Generally they are married at the age of 21 and they still lack the higher education. Then question hence arises that how will they be able to continue their studies. This is a very big question and you need to solve it. This is what our president Obama has actually done.

Patti Ross knows what makes a successful scholarship application. It’s
not necessarily the intricacies of a scholarship application essay.
Rather, it’s mastering the basics of applying. Ross highlights the
following essentials:

Research—know the DEADLINES
Personal awareness—take a personal survey
Accuracy on application
Feedback from others

Ross can’t stress deadlines enough. Nothing looks worse for an applicant
than to turn in their materials too late. Also, make sure your students are on
top of all the required materials. Oftentimes, it helps students to create a
folder for each scholarship they’re applying for and to place the name of
the scholarship as well as the amount and deadline on the cover. Encouraging
your students to stay organized will keep them better focused and less
stressed during the college and scholarship application season. It’s also
a great time to teach them valuable time management skills.

Thank you for your time and the opportunity to share my thoughts with all of you. I appreciate you immensely as you receive and accept my need for financial support for college.

My name is Pecola Colby. I will begin my second year at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington, September 21, 2009.

I will have all requirements satisfied with South Puget Sound Community College, Fall 2010 for an Associate of Arts Degree. From there I will transfer to the University of Washington - Tacoma my ultimate goal is a Doctorate Degree in S ocial Work.

I am unemployed. I lost my home five years ago to foreclosure.

As a single/divorced, head of household, African American woman and sixty-four years old, I am testimony to the challenges and yes resilience related to me being socioeconomically and ethnically challenged when comparing me to the dominant culture. My observation and/or perception with social services programs is that of a system at times, lacks fairness, responsiveness and accountability to some of the families they serve. I believe it is imperative that social workers remain accessible to families for support, to establish at all costs, courtesy with integrity and respect for all people regardless of race or culture. Trust is essential and that is one way to build trust. Further, it is necessary to take appropriate and necessary steps to become as proficient as possible on cultural beliefs with protocol, respect, sensitivity and with care, to recognize cultural barriers, to embrace cultural differences and to learn how to best develop the relationship in order to provide the best possible service care.

My interest and passion then and now is to obtain a Doctorate Degree in Social Work. My heart's desire is to become a Social Worker because I am caring, compassionate, sensitive, and believe all families/people are significant, their voices count and should be heard. Further, obtaining an advance degree will allow me to have opportunities to embrace all families and cultures including attending to their needs and providing multiple levels for services with care. I envision my role as a Social Worker to be a voice for families as they journey through various programs for services and resources in order that they receive the very best with care. I will ensure families are not allowed to wander simply because they have come to believe no one cares about them or their well being. As a Social Worker, I will serve as an Advocate for families when necessary to ensure they receive the services and programs best for them. I will work with families to mobilize formal and informal resources; to support family development and to make certain families are on solid grouind; to allow for flexibility; and to recognize emerging family needs and community issues.

I began my educational pursuit with Fort Steilacoom Community College, now Pierce College in 1981-1982. It was an honor and privilege to begin my educational journey with Fort Steilacoom Community College. The instructors were personal, engaging and worked as closely as necessary with students to ensure successes in the classrooms. However, without family support, eventually I became overwhelmed in my attempt to carry alone all the family and household responsibilities and I had to place my educational dream pursuit on hold until NOW. At this time in my life, however, there are no obstacles to deter or distract me from achieving a Doctorate Degree in Social Work. My vision is clear. I am determined to succeed AND I know I will be an asset as a Social Worker to any organization or organized structural body.

From May 2004 to July 2008 I was employed with the Family Support Center in Olympia, Washington. I served as the Family Resource Specialist and assisted in meeting the needs of low-income families. My responsibilities were to work with families and support them in identifying and prioritizing their needs. I helped them identify the most appropriate resources to meet those needs and empowered them to follow through in accessing those resources. I also served as an Advocate for families when necessary and worked with case managers from other agencies to ensure a complete network of services.

My volunteerism also demonstrates my commitment to families and communities. I serve as a Volunteer with my church, New Life Baptist Church in Lacey, Washington in many roles and functions. I have successfully brought for five years with the assistance and support of medical and non-medical volunteers, multiple services and programs to the immediate and surrounding communities in Thurston County, e.g. The Smilemobile, a mobile dental unit for children in low-income families and for children fifteen years old and younger, a "FREE" Back to School Physical Examination Day, Health Fairs, Walk-a-Thons, etc. I served as Chair-person for the Unity for Excellence Tutorial Program. I also serve as Chair-person for the Senior Adult Ministry. I am an Usher.

My efforts were recognized in the community. In April 2004, I received the Making a Difference in The Life of a Child Award from Thurston County and in June 2004, I received the Unique Achievement Award from the Thurston County Council on Cultural Diversity.

Again thank you for your time and the opportunity to share my thoughts. Please note I am available to respond to any queries you may have for clarification. Further, please note any amount of financial support is most appreciative.

Respectfully,

Pecola L. Colby

Hello, I'm Matthew Knight. I think I deserve a scolarship because I'm very smart and diligent, and anything that people give me to do I do it. I'm hoping to go to El Camino College in less than a month, to major in Liberal Arts and Sciences. Me and my family are in a financial wreck. My Dad has been laid off since summer of last year, and my mom only works 4 nights a week at a dead end job. So I was wondering if you will please help me, it would just be a blessing. Trust me, you wont regret it.
