"When people think of grants they mostly think of college level education. Unfortunately private schools can be just as expensive or more than a lot of secondary institutions. With the expense of private schools it's important for parents to get as much information on finding as much help as possible.There are many grants you can acquire, but the first type you want to know about is called an
. Awarding Grant. This is basically money you can receive for education expenses that will never have to be paid back, so it is not a loan. If the student is going into one field of study, they can earn enough grant money to pay for their entire education. But that depends on the organizations that are giving the grants.Another type of grant is called a Merit-based grant. this give students educational grants that are specifically based on the students accomplishments and achievements instead of financial need. Students that have specific achievements and awards are given higher priority. If one is awarded this type of grant, they will be required to maintain a certain point average in order to keep receiving the funds. In whole, this grant will cover the cost of textbooks, tuition, and most supplies."
