With this scholarship, the mom doing the studying will not have to work while going to school because the education will be paid for. Busy schedules are always an issue with mothers, but online education is available, which definitely frees up time that would otherwise be spent on the commute (往返路程)to and from class, All American women have access to the scholarship, which does not have to be paid back as student loans do.
