If you are a mother and you have to give up your dream of receiving higher education due to the need to raise a family. Yet always keep that dream in the back of your mind while a tight schedule of lack of funding (资金) keeps you from pursuing it, then President Barack Obama may be able to help.      He is offering education money to help those women who pursue their dreams. The aid, in the form of a $10,100 scholarship, is meant for stay-at-home moms, single mothers, and other women who want to go back to school.      With this scholarship, the mom doing the studying will not have to work while going to school because the education will be paid for. Busy schedules are always an issue with mothers, but online education is available, which definitely frees up time that would otherwise be spent on the commute (往返路程) to and from class. All American women have access to the scholarship, which does not have to be paid back as student loans do.      If you're wondering how going back to school could be beneficial to you, the answer is many ways. Such an education may give you the skills necessary to pursue the career you've been dreaming of, and you will be able to bring in more income to support your family. It will also make you feel more confident. Just think how nice that new diploma (毕业文凭) would look in one of your rooms, and how great you will feel as you are heading off to your first day at a new job! It will also make your children look up to you, and give them the courage to pursue their own dreams.      Take advantage of the scholarship now, because it won't last forever, especially with money tighter than ever during this economic recession (经济衰退).
