subject: Free Grants For School are Easier To Get Than You Think! [print this page] Author: Hector Milla Author: Hector Milla
A grant, by its very definition, means that a person is getting "free" money for a specific purpose. Free money in the form of government grants for educational purposes is a hot topic in today's world. You can do your own research on the different government grants available to you or you may want to try one of the companies that exist solely to assist students in obtaining all of the free funds available to them before they end up with an excessive amount of student loans to pay for college. Hector Milla Editor of the "Free Scholarships And Grants" website -- http://www.FreeScholarshipsAndGrants.org/free-government-grants-money -- pointed out; Most widely known is the Pell Grant, a federally funded grant that provides financial assistance to both undergraduate and post baccalaureate students and is typically need-based to help low income students who cannot reasonably expect much, if any, contribution to their schooling from their families. This is referred to as EFC or expected family contributions. There are a number of other requirements for obtaining a Pell Grant, including, but not limited to, the necessity of having a high school diploma or GED and be pursuing your first undergraduate degree. The monetary award can range from $100-$4000 per year To apply for any government educational grant a student must first fill out a FAFSA. This acronym stands for Federal Application for Federal Student Aid. The student may do this on his or her own, but there are various deadlines and criteria that must be met or you will miss out on obtaining any free government assistance to start school. Though most federal educational grants are need-based, there are some that are merit-based, particularly in science. There are several other federally backed grants for educational purposes that are not so well known that you may qualify for once your FAFSA is submitted. Most are federally funded and state administered, and may be for either postsecondary students or eligible graduating high school students only. It is important to be informed about the qualifications and requirements for each grant added H. Milla.
