There is a book out in bookstores and being sold on infomercials that tells you how to get free government grants. While it is handily compiled and easily accessed, you do not have to buy the book in order to apply for these grants.

They are available to any United States citizen and all you have to do is know what type of grant you want. Do you want to go to school? Do you want to open up your own small business? Who would not be interested in free cash grants?

Federal government grants are awarded for a variety of reasons. Probably the number one example is the Pell Grant given to people entering into college to help offset the cost of tuition, books, and room and board. They are able to do this by filling out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (the FAFSA).

The student fills out the FAFSA using his or her personal information, such as social security number, address and last year's tax return and receives a Student Aid Report. The SAR will show how much money the person is able to get, along with the disbursement date. Any questions can usually be answered by the college's financial aid office.

Free government grants for small businesses exist to help give small business owners the capital they need to start their business and keep it running. But this type of grant is harder to get than a Pell Grant or other federal government grants for education.

These grants may require you to write a proposal and come up with a business plan. If you do not have experience writing these, then you can always hire a writer to prepare one for you.

You do not have to purchase Matthew Lesko's book on how to get free government grants but it does put all of the information right at your finger tips. The information is not proprietary and is available to anyone who takes the time to look. Your small business association in your city can help you find the same information and may be able to give you tips on how to go about getting your free, government grant money.

Mike Selvon's government grants portal has some more useful information on free government grants. Visit his web site and leave a comment at his cash grants blog.
