No money for school? Use
Obama's stimulus bill

(ARA)
- If you have been putting off a college education because of money worries, the
Obama administration has come to the rescue. The new American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 sets aside $30 billion to make schools more affordable
and $40 billion for state grants. The Obama administration estimates that this
money will enable more students to go to school, thus bolstering the American
economy.

Students are the first to benefit from this money. The higher
education tax credit was bumped up to $2,500 dollars. An additional $17 billion
was designated for Pell Grants. The Federal Perkins Loan Program increased to $6
billion in loans every year. Finally, a federal-state partnership supports a
$500 million grant program to improve retention and graduation
rates.

"This bill alone makes it a very good time to go back to school,"
says Tony Balmer, an education analyst. "This administration is trying to remove
any financial barriers for people wishing to go to school. But this money won't
be out there forever. People need to act soon."

Fortunately, thanks to a
growing number of online education options, degree-seekers can take advantage of
President Barack Obama's stimulus bill without leaving their jobs. Sites like ClassesandCareers.com
have helped nearly 500,000 degree-seekers get their stimulus money and enroll in
