I am a mom of two beautiful children. I am returning to school after going through a major battle of job loss. I went to a college online and then went on to pursue a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership. I was presently seeking to work on a PHD in Technolgy and Curriculum only to find out that my online Bachelor’s Degree from 8 years ago was from a scam school and evertyhing I worked for has gone completely down the drain. I am going back to school to prove to myself and my children that I am not going to stand to be a victim and no one can stop me. If there is anyone that can give me advice on what are the best scholarships for mothers starting over in school let me know please. Thank you

Great article, but just wondering where you say about $25,000 – if you get one scholarship for $10k, is it possible to get another for $15k? You’d have to be pretty luck!
Thanks again.

I am already enrolled in grad school, MBA program and have been unemployed since 4/15/09. I had a loan for the previous term but am finding it very difficult to get a loan for the coming 2009-2010 school year and will have to drop out without financial aid. What grants/scholorships are available for single mom’s who are unemployed?

I am right in the same boat with these other ladies.
I actually signed up for school, got a grant, got my loan in process. Then got an email stating I needed a co signer for my financial aid or I don’t get it.
School starts June 29th and if nothing happens, I don’t go.
I got divorced last year, then laid off June 08 from my job of 8 years as an office manager. I want to go to school for medical administration, but looks like that dream will fall through.
I will end up being one of the mother’s who has to work 2 jobs, 80 hours a week to support my family. Be tired, over worked, underpaid, with my children not getting the attention they deserve. It sucks.

Please advise. Thank you!

I am the mother of two elementary school age children. I work full time in healthcare. My divorce set me back substantially and I am my children’s only parent and sole supporter (child support was ordered but is not being paid regularly). I have a Bachelors in Journalism / Political Science. I have my PHR and would like to go on for a Masters in Healthcare. In my current role, I can go up one more level with a Bachelors but I want to be able to do better for my children and myself. I was previously in High Tech but was not able to continue to travel and “landed” in healthcare as a bit of a fluke and lots of great luck. I love my job and the organization I work for and would like to be here to retire. My income is half of what it was when I bought my home 8 years ago but we have made it this far.

I am the mother of a two year old. I was laid off last year from a teaching position because I was not certified. At the time, I was attending Coppin State University in Baltimore to complete my Master’s degree. I am only several courses from completing my Masters. I am in dire need of monetary assistance. This degree would open an entire new pool of jobs that I would become qualified for. Please offer any assistance so I can complete my goal and be better able to take care of my daughter and also demonstrate to her that you can do something great with your life, in spite of uncertain times. Please help! Thanks

Great blog. There are free scholarships for mothers over the age of 18 available in the US. Take advantage of these opportunities, because President Obama wants to help American women finish their education.
