Grants? Any real free ones exist?

Question

Also, I'd like to know how exactly I can get one for free?

Answer 1

They are all free. The catch is you have to apply to them and write grant proposals for them.

Answer 2

The only grant I've ever gotten was a Federal Pell Grant, an education grant given to pay for college tuition and books. I didn't get much, something like $5000 once. But not a penny of it was owed back!

Answer 3

Yes, all grants are free to apply. The issue is that you're probably trying to go through the scammers who charge to get you information or fill out the applications for you. Just go to your local library and research them that way. Call individual government agencies with questions instead of paying people who are only doing it because of greed.

Answer 4

Yes, there are real free grants, for schooling for businesses and more.

Answer 5

Now seriously, if you're planning on running your own business, you should be a little more resourceful. The government might get you some start-up funds, but they won't do the work for you!!

Answer 6

there are grants out there but they are very hard to come by. You have to dot your I's and cross your t's, any little thing will cause it to be rejected.
