Grants are a type of student aid that is awarded by the government. Grants for college students do not have to be repaid. Grants are based upon financial need, as calculated by the federal aid program. The first step in applying for government grants is by completing the FAFSA. Of course every student and parent would rather receive grants instead of loans, since they do not have to be repaid. So the student hopes to see a grant award when the results are returned from the application. Click Here to Browse All 2010 Scholarships and Grants for College Students! Federal Pell Grants are awarded based upon financial need. The Pell Grant application is part of the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. By completing the FAFSA the student will find out if they qualify for not only the federal Pell Grant program, but also other grants, loans and work study all with one easy application. After submitting the FAFSA, students will receive the results in approximately two to four weeks listing the level of eligibility. If eligible, a federal Pell Grant may be awarded. If loans or other programs such as work study are also offered it is up to the student to accept or decline those types of awards. President Barack Obama has been a big booster of education. His 2010 budget proposal included a boost to Pell Grants from $4,050 to $5,350 for instance. **URGENT** Just Released. Enter to Win a scholarship.
