One of the most controversial and charismatic presidents we have ever had in office is President Obama. The state of our economy is in such turmoil that it has necessitated the creation of a stimulus package offering billions of dollars to jump-start our failed economic situation. Single mothers now have the opportunity to access literally billions of dollars to finance their college education at no cost to them. Here are some ways you can access and apply for this college funding.

One of the funding possibilities available in this package is the Obama ‘Mothers Back to School’ Government Grant Grant. Qualifying for this money is based on need. If you have children and are a single parent, you will most likely qualify for this financing option.

The president also initiated an increase in federal Pell Grant funding. Originally, this amount was around $4,000. Due to the increase for low-income students, the amount has not gone up to the generous $5,100.

Another aspect of looking at grant money is to consider the American Opportunity Tax Credit program. This program allows you to obtain up to $4,000 in educational funds at no cost to you.

The best thing to do when you start applying for this stimulus package money is to first complete your FAFSA application so you can start qualifying. You can then wrap this up by going to ed.gov while you focus on getting free money for school.

What’s amazing is that years ago, applying for grants meant filling out literally reams of paperwork by hand that would have to be sent through the US Postal Service. Now, thanks to the Internet, you can accomplish the goal of applying for all of these programs while sitting down. on your computer at home.

The time to act is now. You’ll never know whether or not you qualify for all this free federal education money until you take the time to fill out the forms and get the process underway. Do it today!
