The Federal Pell Grant program is the most well-known grant program currently available to students.
Most states have grant programs as well.
Some grant funding may be limited, therefore eligible students are often required to respond to the financial aid office deadlines to maintain their eligibility for those grant funds. Contact the financial aid office at your institution for more information about the different grant programs they offer. Generally, scholarships are funding sources that do not have to be repaid. Most scholarship funding is provided by resources that are not part of the Federal and State financial aid programs, for example, institutional funds or funds from outside sources like civic groups or corporate organizations. Students are always encouraged to seek out scholarship funding from these different sources.
