Earning a college degree as a mom
June 1, 2011
Always wanted a college degree but motherhood kept you busy through the years? For many busy moms, working towards a bachelor's degree may be easier than you think.
One way to cut back on the stress is to take classes online. This is one degree option that gives you the freedom to study when the kids are in school, or commit to two hours of homework a night after they go to bed. Thanks to online universities, you'll never have to rush to make it to class or fight traffic to get to campus.
Are you doing it all without a partner? Don't fret. Thanks to single-parent scholarships, earning a diploma is easier than ever. Before selecting a campus, consult with financial aid offices and be on the lookout for financial aid for moms. Doing so will help you save money while still offering you the opportunity to get your career on track.
A college degree can boost your confidence and give you the tools you need to bring in a more substantial paycheck. What better way is there to contribute to your family's overall wellbeing than by doing something wonderful for yourself?
