Free Money for College-Paying for School with Grants

Grants are a wonderful way to finance your college education, because unlike loans they do not have to be paid back. Students can receive grants from a variety of sources, including private organizations, educational institutions, professional associations, and federal and state governments. 

Grants may be awarded based on a student’s financial need, ethnicity, religious affiliation, record of achievement, association, or special interests.

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant - The FSEOG Program supports post-secondary education by providing need-based grants to low-income undergraduate students. Grant amounts vary. Students who get this grant typically have a very low EFC and are usually Federal Pell Grant recipients.
