You may have a deep desire to finish or begin your college degree; however, finances have prevented you from fulfilling that dream. If this sounds like you, then you are in luck. President Obama also has that desire. He would like to see all women have the opportunity to begin or return to college. To make this dream come true, he has instituted a program that offers up $10,000.00 scholarships for moms.
Obama knows that often money is the only obstacle that prevents many women from pursuing their degrees. Traditionally, women find it easier to receive the help from government grant or scholarship programs and now is the time to benefit from all of the programs and get started.
Single moms have the ability now to apply for a vast number of scholarships. You can use these to pay for direct college fees or other expenses such as daycare while you are in class. You can also use the money to help with daily living expenses such as food and utilities.
As you look around for the college that offers the right program for you, you may decide that taking classes online or what is called distance- learning may work better for you. You would be surprised at the number of well-known universities that now offer such programs.
It is well documented that women with a bachelor's degree will have almost five times the earning power over those women who do not have such a degree. To boost your chances be sure to find and apply for as many scholarships as possible. Sorry guys, this offer is currently available to women only!
There are a variety of reasons why a student cannot attend classes at his/her desired college or university. He/she may have a family to raise, he/she may have some physical disability, he/she may stay at a distant place which makes it difficult to commute and becomes a job thus he/she loses energy to study etc. Online learning has emerged as a handy source for learning for students with such commitments. With online learning, you can really get a valuable Degree home.
Because of the popularity of internet, online learning has been widespread in the past few years. It is now possible for a student to attend classes without leaving the comfort of his/her home. The college or institute is of course, the website of the land-based college or university. Other than this, learning through the internet has got many advantages. For example, assignments are sent to the student via e-mail, and after completion student can send it back to the respective faculty member using the same process. Another benefit is that exams can be held online. You can actually sit in front of your computer, turn on the browser, open the website of your college, and start answering. It is as easy and comfortable to earn Degrees on line.
But before enrolling into any course, you should run a check on you as to what you really want from the course by asking yourself questions like these – is the university accredited by any governing body? What is the value of the course? What kind of course is provided? How is the quality of the course content and materials? How long will the course take to complete? What will be the cost (in monetary terms)? What kind of help/support is provided to the students? What is the system for grading students? What is the credit system? Is there any provision for reviewing the exam paper? Is there any provision for credit transfer? And most importantly, is the course recognized by the government?
Before you apply, do a research. Inquire about whether the university is accredited, placement record, passed percentage record of graduation and if possible, try to get in touch with already passed out students and find out about their learning experience. Another very important aspect of your pursuing a Degree on line is financial support. Find out whether the college provides financial assistance to online students, the procedures, the criterion, the repayment process etc
