		<description><![CDATA[Initiatives&#160;to introduce students to technical and scientific fields were recently highlighted at the 2013 White House Science Fair.&#160;The need for skilled professionals in related fields may be a reason for students with college scholarships to&#160;consider&#160;tech-based degrees.
President Barack&#160;Obama attended the fair and&#160;announced an initiative to develop his Educate to Innovate Campaign, emphasizing STEM education&#160;to focus on math, science and technology fields.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Considering the price of school, prospective students with college scholarships may wonder which degree choice will benefit&#160;them best. Unique&#160;fields of study and major concentrations abound&#160;for students to choose from, but&#160;shooting for certain careers over others may help graduates find monetary success after graduation.
Getting a college degree is known to improve a student&#039;s post-graduation&#160;income. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that on average college graduates made over $13,000 in October, November and December 2011 combined while individuals without a post-secondary degree made a mean of about $6,500 during those months.&#160;
Though this suggests an overall success rate for college graduates, Forbes recently noted that the cost of college may be more worth it for students with specific majors.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some college applicants might feel disheartened by the competitive admissions process. The list of 2013 college acceptance rates, as aggregated by the New York Times, may show that colleges and universities in the U.S. are becoming more selective. Nonetheless, individuals hoping to get college scholarships and start school can still succeed in doing so.
According to the New York Times, pools of applicants are getting bigger, which is allowing many schools to be&#160;more selective than they were a year ago.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New revisions to the Higher Education Act could help students financially&#160;during and after college. Although scholarships for adults lessen the load of tuition, school is often expensive. Potential legislative changes may help solve this problem.
Inside Higher Ed recently reported that the Obama administration may renew the Act,&#160;expanding federal aid programs, including federal work-study employment. Through this proposal, the administration&#039;s goal is to ensure that federal assistance is earmarked only for schools that provide a truly beneficial education that sets students up for career success.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technology has gained prominence in schools. Grants for single parents and college scholarships are the entryway for many to college. Once there, new students can see how technology has made its mark on higher education. Though some innovations may seem foreign to those&#160;getting started at school, such advances - from emerging&#160;artificial intelligence to digital research - may be beneficial.&#160;
Technology is a time-saver
According to the New York Times, a new test-grading device gives students instantaneous feedback to essay-based exams.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For individuals trying to balance family responsibilities with school, anything that saves a few minutes is helpful. Grants for single parents help mothers save money as they hit the higher education scene. However, monetary assistance in the form of college scholarships doesn&#039;t necessarily provide extra time. Fortunately, many college programs can help save time&#160;in a variety of ways, from alternative&#160;class offerings to on-campus amenities.&#160;
Saving time through distance learning
Ultimate convenience may lie in distance education.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When thinking of potential majors, the future&#160;financial benefit of the degree program is often a key&#160;decision point. Those who get college&#160;scholarships&#160;will&#160;want to make the most of&#160;their educations, and many students&#160;therefore look to fields that both interest them and can&#160;generate the greatest income.
The monetary success possible in technical fields makes pursuing them a good career choice for many. This may be a factor in a growing trend: More students are looking&#160;to get their undergraduate degrees in computer science.&#160;
Technical fields yield large incomes
Network World&#160;recently pointed out that&#160;current income trends show that, technical majors, albeit challenging, give college graduates the best job opportunities.&#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scholarships for adults are often a key factor for moms returning to&#160;school. Once classes start, though, the next step for many is balancing&#160;motherhood and classes.&#160;
In a 2012 USA Today feature, undergraduate student and mom&#160;Courtney Webb described&#160;this struggle.&#160;&#34;You have to be a mother, student, daughter, twenty-four seven,&#34; Webb said.&#160;
Grants for single parents&#160;can help with the cost burden of school, but finding time to handle classes can prove difficult.&#8230;]]></description>
