Scholarship for women program is a welcome move by the US government through which the American women can now pursue their dream of higher studies without thinking about the financial constraints. They can now avail up to $10,000 in a year for the costs of their higher studies. Now lack of funds will not be an impediment to fulfilling the dream of further studies of millions of American women and mothers.
This program is a big step towards empowerment of women as women can now go for higher education and can be well equipped in these times of recession where there is cutthroat competition.
Now women need not lag behind just because of lack of sufficient funds.
This program will also benefit stay-at-home moms as the scholarship can also be used for online courses which means no more worrying about their kids and home while they are out studying. The icing on the cake is that the first $4000 spent on fees will be exempted from tax. Women using this scholarship will also be entitled to certain economic aids given by the US government. This program will not only benefit women but will also help in fostering the overall economy and image of the country as women can now be active participants in contributing to the economy of the country and will not be cocooned in their own shell.
The American government's stance of giving women in need the fundamental right to higher education and giving them equal opportunities will boost their self esteem and confidence and will make them feel like proud primary citizens of a country which is called a superpower. With this unprecedented step, the Obama administration can well become a role model for a lot of other devolving countries to follow.
