ior colleges frequently get a bad rap. For busy moms community college can be a wonderful idea. Both academically and personally junior colleges present a wealth of options. Chances for financial assistance increase the potential for community colleges to attract quality students. [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Despite the jokes and put-downs, community colleges do have something to offer students who are ambitious. There are actually some very enticing benefits to go to these schools, including the lower tuition costs. The community college system is ideal for moms who don't have a lot of time or extra money on their hands. Championed by President Obama in 2009 [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Grants for Moms incentive is an effort to help more moms enroll in junior colleges and other schools of their choice. Getting $5,000 can go a long way toward earning a professional degree.
One of the biggest attractions to junior colleges is the financial savings. Even with a $5,000 Pell Grant for a mother [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], saving money is always important. At a 4-year institution the cost of attendance could be 30,000 a year or more. Furthermore, community colleges frequently offer full-ride scholarships to high school students with high standardized test scores and GPA. Teen mothers who performed well in high school should definitely take note of this. A student can use the mom grant to pay for any school or school-related costs.
The federal grant money for mothers will give an important boost to the women who want to go to school. Even as they benefit from a $5,000 grant, mothers can reap the financial savings benefits of going to a small local college. Community colleges can be great training grounds for attendance at 4-year colleges as well as for entering the work force. A 2-year associate degree is a great start to sound career development.
At many schools the gap is closing between the classes that 2-year colleges offer and those that are offered at big liberal arts universities. A 2002 New York Times article found that 168 junior colleges have an honors program. The standard teachings at 4-year schools are increasingly becoming the templates for smaller community colleges. Some schools with high achievement have been able to develop unique study abroad opportunities. The exciting variety of classes that a student can take will only help as he or she moves on to a 4-year school or into the working world.
