To determine which grants you qualify for, you need to check your eligibility for each grant program. Here are some resources that can help you:
-
Grants.gov: This is a website that provides information on federal grants and funding opportunities. You can use the search function to find grant programs that match your needs. Before applying, make sure to check the eligibility requirements for each program. You can find this information in the Application Instructions that are attached to every funding opportunity in Grants.gov.
-
Federal Student Aid: This is a government website that provides information on grants for students attending college or career school. You can learn about the different types of grants available and how to apply for them. Most types of grants, unlike loans, are sources of financial aid that do not need to be repaid.
-
Cal Grant Programs: If you are a California resident, you may be eligible for the Cal Grant, which is a California-specific financial aid allocation that does not need to be paid back. Cal Grant applicants must apply using the FAFSA or CA Dream Act Application by the deadline and meet all eligibility, financial, and minimum GPA requirements of either program. Grants are for students attending Universities of California, California State Universities or California Community Colleges, or qualifying independent and career colleges or technical schools in California.
When searching for grants, its important to carefully read the eligibility requirements for each program to make sure you qualify. You should also pay attention to the application deadlines and any other requirements, such as minimum GPA or financial need.
