The best place to fill out for grants is the FAFSA form. It will help you qualify for both federal and state grants along with financial aid from the college itself. It will also qualify you for the work study program which can bring both work experience and money for college. I will list some other free sources for money for college.
First, the college's financial aid office and website has a list of private scholarships offered from outside organizations and companies. Sometimes a college major's website will list scholarships, too.
Second, the public library has a book listing scholarships with some not even listed on the web.
Third, current high school students can find a list of local scholarships in the high school guidance office.
Finally, I recommend joining several free membership scholarship search websites. There are scholarships for a variety of things including ethnicity, clubs, hobbies, and even wearing duct tape to the high school prom. Most are updated on a regular basis. Most offer a customized search based on information entered onto a form on the website.
Good luck!

Grants are typically granted by the individual colleges based usually on academics or financial resources. After you apply and are accepted they would let you know if you are eligible for any $. Scholarships are awards granted by colleges and outside organizations and can be granted based on almost any factor (grades, ethnicity, financial situation, religion, and so on).
