If you are referring to the name some anti-Obama folks (often called "Birthers") use when they are talking about the president, it should first be noted that there is no such person. Barack Obama never used the name "Barry Soetoro" nor did his stepfather ever legally adopt him and change his name. Barack Obama did receive scholarships, as well as student loans. It has been well-documented that Mr. Obama did not register as a "foreign student" and he did not get any financial aid from a foreign country.

Did President Obama travel as Barry Sotoro?

First, I think you mean "Soetoro," his step-father's last name, which the president has never used. While many "Birther" websites make this claim, there is no evidence the president ever traveled under any name other than his own legal name, Barack Obama. That said, it is true he did use the nick-name "Barry" for a while in high school and college. But the name "Barry Soetoro" is not a legal name-- his stepfather never adopted him, nor did he require his stepson to take his name officially. And there is no evidence Mr. Obama was ever known to his family, friends, or classmates as "Barry Soetoro."


What was President Obama's name when his mother was married to Lolo Soetoro?

His name was Barack Obama. And after his mom remarried, his name remained Barack Obama. There is a popular but false internet myth, spread by a group called the "birthers" (who believe President Obama was not born in the USA) that Barack Obama was adopted by his step-dad and became Barry Soetoro. Totally false, with no credible facts to support it. As numerous fact-checkers have noted, while Barack Obama got along well with his step-father, he was never adopted and did not change his name at any time.

Was Barry Soetoro's mother part of Terrorist Group Weather Underground?

Absolutely not. This is another internet myth, with no evidence to support it. It is doubtful that Ann Dunham even knew any of the people from the Weather Underground; when she married Lolo Soetoro, she and her son Barack moved to Indonesia -- that was the period of time when the Weathermen (later the Weather Underground) were active. It is unlikely the Soetoro family encountered the members of the Weather Underground in either Indonesia or back in Hawaii-- this group was mainly located in the Eastern United States at that time.


Are there any scholarships available to older single moms?

If you are employed, you might also want to check with your employer to find out if the company offers any kind of scholarships to its employees. Also, don��t lock yourself into only applying for the larger scholarships. You might be able to receive more than one scholarship! Scholarships are not always large amounts so you might be able to receive two or three smaller scholarships that when combined add up to make enough to pay for tuition.


What was Barack Obama's nickname at Columbia University?

I haven't seen any credible sources that mention he had a college nickname. In high school, he preferred "Barry" to Barack. But by college, he was using his birth name (Barack Obama) again. By the way, you may have seen some online claims that he was registered as a "foreign student" or that he was called "Barry Soetoro" at Columbia. Both assertions are false.

How do you know you got a scholarship?

Most scholarships foundations will send you an email (if you've provided it to them), but nearly all will send you a physical letter notifying you and asking for confirmation that you will receive the scholarship. If you have applied and did not receive a scholarship (mostly for prestigious scholarships and less so for anonymous smaller scholarships) they will sometimes also send you an email/letter that you did not receive the award.
