A college education may be end abruptly and the education may be left unfinished for many people. The reasons for this abrupt ending of education may be numerous. Getting pregnant while in college, getting married or lack of financial resources, sudden ill health or other calamity can all qualify as reasons for the abrupt termination of college. People have as many returns for returning to community college as they have reasons for the abrupt termination of college. What matters the most is rejoining your broken link to education, rather than the age at which you return back to college.
Children, who watch their parents going back to school, get motivated to study well. When they understand how important education is, and how motivated their parents are, to continue learning in spite of many difficulties and hindrances, they get encouraged to take their studies seriously. This is just one of the paybacks of having decided to return to college in adult life. Better jobs, better paychecks and a better life style could follow subsequently.
Single moms going back to school is being encouraged by the USA government and this encouragement comes in the form of grants and scholarships. In addition to being a single mom, if the woman is also a widow or spouse of a war veteran there is a special scholarship called Alabama G.I dependent scholarship. Other criteria include enrolling for study in an educational institute located in Alabama itself.
