Here again, we’re talking about free money you do NOT have to pay back—which is the preferred kind of aid. There are tons of grants that are available by schools, organizations, churches, philanthropies and federal assistance programs based on your financial need. Once your completed FAFSA application is approved, you’ll receive a list of the federal grants you’re eligible for. The four types of federal grants are: • Federal Pell Grants • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG)( a grant for undergraduate students with exceptional financial need.) • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants (The TEACH Grant Program provides grants of up to $4,000 a year to students who are completing or plan to complete course work needed to begin a career in teaching.) • State grant agencies.
