Question

I want to know how it works?

Answer 1

To apply for grants, go to Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov . They have everything you need to apply for grants.

The first step is to register with Grants.gov and their registration process can be accessed from http://www.grants.gov

1. Get a Data Universal Number System (DUNS) Number
2. Register with Central Contractor Registry (CCR)
3. Authorize your Organization's Representatives
4. Login as an E-Business Point of Contact (POC)

You will first be asked to find the grant number of the grant that you wish to apply for. You can get this from the Catalog of Domestic Assistant http://www.cfda.gov which is the federal database of all grants.

Note that the government is NOT in the business of giving away free money for the sake of giving away money. There are no grants for paying bills, for getting out of debt or for buying a car.

Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.

For one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.

There is a stringent review process through a committee. You will compete with other applicants for the grant money, and this grant review committee will evaluate the merits of each proposal. Only those that they feel exemplifies the objective of the grant will be approved.

Yes, my son applied for a Pell Grant for fall and summer classes.
He received notification that he qualified for funding for both.
Here are the steps the college told us to take.
1. Get a personal identification number so you may sign complete application on-line. Go to www.pin.ed.gov
2.Complete documents needed to apply.
3.Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FASA).
Go to www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Because we had filed late and tuition was due, we paid out of pocket before notification of qualifying.
Just last week I received amount allotted to him, in the form of a check.
You may also want to check out www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov for more information about paying for college.
Good Luck.
P.S. Once you qualify you have to maintain a specific grade average and you can not miss more than a specified numbers of days or you may have to pay back the grant.
