It is apparent that single moms exert immense efforts in order to provide for her children. They often get two or more low-paying jobs just to compensate for their needs. Their dream of having a better life by having a college degree cannot come into realization as they do not have the money to pay for that dream.

The Pell Grant is a scholarship awarded to deserving individuals prioritizing working mothers. Unlike any other grant, the Pell Grant requires no repayment, so a grantee would never be bothered of paying the government back after she has finished her education.
