Every kid has the right to education. This applies as well for every adult that wasn’t able to finish studying due to poverty or family problems that directly affected their ability to stay in school. Thus, the government provides grants for going back to school to those who deserve it. And if it’s a single parent who is willing to leave her child at home every week day just so she can be able to graduate college, then that alone proves her worthy of being given financial aid.
Single moms going back to school have it tough. They have to juggle their responsibilities of being a mother, and being a student at the same time. She also has to be the provider—something her would-be husband should have done—to be a father to her child. This can be done by taking up part time jobs to pay for the bills and to get food onto the table. That is why financial aid from the government is extremely valuable for single mothers who have no option but to support themselves and their children.
An adult going back to school may find it hard to grasp lessons that a child or adolescent understand easily. That’s because an adult’s mind may not be as receptive as it was during childhood. Still, a single mother who is back in school should try all her best to pass all her subjects in order for her to keep her financial grant. There are educational grants out there which make it a requirement that the scholar be able to maintain his or her grades lest the grant be given to a student who is more deserving.
