It is natural for all mothers to want the very best for their children. But for single mothers, it can take a lot of extra effort to be able to provide this on one income. And not only is the single mother stretching one income, but she is also having to use one person's energy to do the work of two. Many women have been able to get a college degree thanks to extra money that has been released by the government and scholarships offered by schools.

One thing that many single mothers are beginning to realize is that a college degree can allow them to find employment that gives them additional time and additional money for their children. Sure, there is time involved in completing the degree, but many offer flexible hours and online programs that can allow mothers to do the coursework at night when kids have gone to bed or during the day while kids are at school.

Grant programs are available in the United States, many set up specifically for single mothers. Many of these programs provide mothers with some funding to get them going in school.
