Grants

Grants, like scholarships, do not have to be repaid. They are often available through the federal government and state agencies.

To be eligible for government grants, you must submit a FAFSA.

The SMART and Academic Competitiveness grants encourage students to take more challenging courses in high school, making them not only more likely to be successful in college but also to pursue college majors in high demand.
