Fathers are not being overlooked any more when it comes to
education grants. Many times in the past they have been, but that has
changed with the new stimulus package from the Federal Government.
Scholarships for dads are now being publicized in hopes that more
fathers will take the opportunity to go back to school. These grants
will cover up to 18 semesters, therefore possibly covering even more
than one degree or program. This must tell you something. Obama really
wants these dads to be educated.
The government is offering more support than ever through these grants. The amount per semester has been raised from $4050 to $5100, to a total of up to $10,000 a year. This amount will be raised again in the upcoming year. You will also be able to apply for a $4000 tax exemption. This is exciting news for those who have wanted so badly to go back to school.
You might be wondering how to get the application process started. It's as easy as going to the FAFSA website to get the application form, and giving it to the school along with the enrollment papers, and that is it.
Why does the government care so much? Well, included in the stimulus package, there is the plan to create three million jobs in the next two years. They are going to need educated people to fill these jobs for their plan to work. Not only this but the more individuals with higher educations and better jobs, generally means a better economy. That is something that we all need right now.
