Answer 2

You apply for loans and grants through the same process.
This is with the FAFSA. You should apply with FAFSA around Jan. of your Senior year in high school.

Loans you will have to pay back
Grants you don't have to pay back

Grant and loan amounts are determined based on how soon you turn in FAFSA and your families income. The sooner the better. And the less money your family has the better. Having said that many people still get at least one small grant.

Scholarships you don't have to pay back either but you must apply for each scholarship separately. There is a completely different application process for scholarships.

Answer 3

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 you

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

Also check out Fastweb http://www.fastweb.com

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 4

Uncle Sam's Money is the best place to find government grants to pay for college, even start your own business. http://jillian26.uncsam.hop.clickbank.net
