how can i find free student grants ?

Answer 1

In England, you need to apply to your university, or contact your local lea and fill out PN1 form and send it back off. The SLC will then inform you of any aid, grant and loans your entitled too

Answer 2

Check out Federal Student Aid Web Site or FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/

You may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant
http://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachments/0203Vo3MasterFile.pdf

Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.pdf at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for your situation

Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.html , you may want to explore private foundation grants

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants from private foundations.

Answer 3

When you apply to college there are some scholarships you are automatically put in the running for, just by being accepted. Your college should have info about them.

You should also fill out a FAFSA at the same time you apply for college. You may receive extra money by applying early. You can get one from the college financial aid office, your high school guidance office (most have it) or apply online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Then try www.fastweb.com. They are great about finding scholarships, and it's a free service. All you have to do is fill out the applications and essays.

Good luck!
