I am looking for a place where I can get personal grants, or something like that (free money basically). I do work full time, but my Fiancè is at college and cannot work much. We are getting married this summer and need to get some money for that among various other things like bills and repairs for our house and cars.
I do not want any fake or hokey sites, they are all scams. I do not want any of those "Refer 10 other people and get so much money" deals, they are all scams as well. I want a free, legal and legitimate way to get some money without taking out a large loan, since I already have a credit card, car loan, mortgage payment, etc.
Is there such a thing?
Thanks in advance!

My Fiancè is finished with college in 1 month...that is what poses another problem because then we will have to begin paying back the loans. I am looking for a way to get some extra money so that I can afford to make all of the payments I need to.

Unfortunately, it is not as simple as the commercials make it on finding free money for almost anything from the government. Either it has an income limit or have to be a nonprofit or government entity to receive the free money. I will list some actual federal government websites (websites ending in .gov) that should help better clarify things, but I will also leave a link which has a long questionaire to see if you qualify for any help.
P.S. In six months, she should start looking for places to consolidate her student loans. It can decrease both the interest rates and payments. It can make it easier to repay her student loans.

If your fiance is attending college she could apply for loans, grants, or scholarships. The loans are not repayable until she finishes college and then the payments are low (around $50 a month) and over a period of years. I've taken out loans and received grants each semester and I usually have $2000-3000 left over each semester after tuition and books. She should talk to the financial aid office. As for grants from the US government that are not college related, those are hard to get and must be for a particular purpose (start-up business, etc). They don't usually like to hand out money for fun. Even if you had a legitimate business, you would have to write a grant proposal and that gets complicated. Usually you have to purchase a book that teaches you how to write the grant and it cost a lot. College loans would be a better route.

I would recommend the official federal website:
http://incomefaq.com/grants
Here you can find exactly what you are looking for and thats the only safe site.
Good luck!

There is a program that works with local grocery stores. You register your grocery card with their website and a portion of all the purchases go to paying for college.

No such thing
