Did you know that the U.S Census bureau has stated that there are over
10 million single moms in the United States? That's an overwhelming
number to comprehend. In fact, a recent news article that was published
stated that the number of single-parent households has doubled in only
the last 20 years. Working fulltime and parenting fulltime can be
almost become unbearable at times. While some may think that not much
is being done to help in finding financial aid for single mothers,
the opposite is in fact true. The majority of the time, the single mothers
who have the most hardships are the ones who do not have ANY family
whatsoever to help them with parenting and other life tasks.
If you are a single mother, the first thing that you should do in order
to change your life is go back to school and earn a degree. By earning
a degree, you put yourself in a position to rise above the competition
and stand out in the eyes of an employer. The facts are that
most employers require a degree before they will even see you. This can
prove to be difficult for a single mother. While you may be the
best fit for the job in your eyes, you have 200 other people who
are saying the same thing. One of the main things you should
be looking into is finding out more about grants. This blog has
lots of information regarding grants and information on financial aid for single mothers. These grants can be used for
many, many purposes such as starting a business, paying off debt,
GOING BACK TO SCHOOL (wink, wink :-)
Between financial aid and grants, you should be taken care of college-wise.
Whatever these two funding options do not cover, loans will be given
to you by the government. Don't worry; you don't have to start
paying the loans back until you get through school and have your "career"
job.
