It is a sum of money that is used for a specific purpose. If you are going to apply for school then the only way to see if you
. qualify for government grants is to fill out a FAFSA form. This can be done easily online if you have access to your tax information from the previous year.Applying for government grants to start up a business or for other purposes might be a bit trickier. There is no universal form to fill out to see what you qualify for. You will likely have to apply for each one separately.
