Question

Were does one go to get an application for a goverment grant?

Answer 1

Your local job center should have all the relevant information.

Answer 2

For school?

You need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). You can do it online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. After filing it, you will get a letter telling you what you qualify for. Pretty much everyone qualifies for some sort of loan. Certain students will also qualify for grants. Then if you had the form sent to the school, its finanicial aid office will tell you if you qualify for any school grants or scholarships.

Answer 3

Check out Federal Student Aid Web Site or FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

I suggest you explore all federal funding and grant options at the Federal Student Aid website http://federalstudentaid.ed.gov/  

You may also want to read the Handbook of the Pell Grant -- this is an 86 page document that contains everything about the grant

http://ifap.ed.gov/sfahandbooks/attachme...

Or you can call the Federal Student Aid Information Center http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/gtepfpg.p... at 1-800-433-3243 and ask them if there are any programs for women of your age

Aside from FAFSA http://www.fafsa.ed.gov  and Pell Grant http://www.ed.gov/programs/fpg/index.htm...  , you may want to explore private foundation grants

Also check out Fastweb http://www.fastweb.com

For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online http://gtionline.fdncenter.org . It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) and their opening blurb says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." You may be able to find grants from private foundations.

Other than college, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants.

Answer 4

If it is a generic grant go to the web site of the agency, and write them and ask for one.  If it is more specific you may have to write it yourself.
