If you have not already figured it out from watching late night infomercials, then let’s just put it out on the table. You can find free government grants to go to school, to start a small business or to help improve your community. You do not have to buy a thick book to know this but having the information in one source is handy. It helps to know why the government gives free grant money and how you can get one of these grants for yourself.

Federal government grants are awarded for a variety of reasons. Probably the number one example is the Pell Grant given to people entering into college to help offset the cost of tuition, books, and room and board. They are able to do this by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (the FAFSA).

The student fills out the FAFSA using his or her personal information, such as social security number, address and last year’s tax return and receives a Student Aid Report. The SAR will show how much money the person is able to get, along with the disbursement date. Any questions can usually be answered by the college’s financial aid office.
