Is there really all of this grant money people keep talking about?

Question

I am currently looking for some funding help. I have two kids and a husband. I have always been a hard worker however I have no schooling, so I want to go to school. As everybody may know it is really hard to live off of one income. I keep hearing about all of this free grant money and I actually fell prey to one of those websites. I spent 150 dollars on links to more websites. So if any one knows of a legitimate way to get grant information please help me. Thank you

Answer 1

to apply for grant money to go to college NEVER spend money.  The only legit grant out there is at http://fafsa.ed.gov

It's free to apply and some folks qualify for up to 4,700 a year in a federal pell grant (free money) sent to your school to help pay tuition.  Here is a good book about the different type of fin aid you might qualify for.  Not all of them are grants.  Some are loans.

Answer 2

Welcome to the internet, scams abound. There is very little for "free" out there. Check with http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/
