Junior College
Junior College on the Road to Being a Professional
To many people junior college isn’t “real” school. If you’re a hard-working mom, however, the junior college environment may be exactly what you’re looking for. There are a number of academic and personal benefits to attending a junior college, and these schools eagerly welcome high-achievers. Add in a financial advantage or two and your education is within reach. Despite the jokes and put-downs, community colleges do have something to offer students who are ambitious. There are actually some very enticing benefits to go to these schools, including the lower tuition costs. This is perfect for young moms who are recently out of high school as well as older working or stay-at-home moms who want to return to school. Championed by President Obama in 2009, the Grants for Moms incentive is an effort to help more moms enroll in junior colleges and other schools of their choice. A $5,000 award to return to school is a huge incentive. School costs like tuition can be extremely high, but one of the the best things about 2-year colleges is the relatively low cost of attendance. Even having a $5,000 award doesn’t take away from the wisdom of trying to save money. Consider that most college and university educations cost tens of thousands of dollars, but that isn’t so at junior colleges. In fact many high school graduates with a high SAT score can get a full scholarship to go to junior college. This is a significant prize for young moms who still managed to do well in school. A student can use the mom grant to pay for any school or school-related costs. At junior colleges many students will find that they have study opportunities that are similar to 4-year schools. Honors programs at colleges are often a symbol of success, and a 2002 New York Times report found that many junior colleges offer these programs. Many also have study opportunities that reflect the opportunities at big liberal arts universities. For example, many junior colleges now offer study abroad courses in places like China and Mexico. The benefit is that students gain a broader perspective of the world, and colleges are able to attract more students. Attending a community college is made even more accessible for mothers who have earned a Pell Grant. No matter what program she wants to study at a 2-year college, the $5,000 Scholarships for Moms award is a huge asset. Community colleges can be great training grounds for attendance at 4-year colleges as well as for entering the work force. A 2-year associate degree is a great start to sound career development.
