Education Grants and Funding

Education is a priority for all governments, both Federal and State, and for this reason the government offers education grants to those who qualify. These grants are different from education loans. Grants (and scholarships) do not have to be paid back. Business and industry, as well as individuals, also have an interest in helping all Americans access education and many are ready to help - to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars every year!

There are several Federal and State departments that provide education grants. As well, various government departments also offer various forms of education funding. Finding these grants can be a confusing and time consuming process. The Able Government Grant Resource can help. We provide links to over 90 government grant sites (and Scholarship opportunities) where you can find information on all types of government grants, including education grants. Grant opportunities outside education can be extremely valuable for students. As the American Association of University Professors points out, over 50% of students who receive Pell Grants do not finish their degrees, due to other financial needs that aren't met by Pell grant funding.  Read the story here. 

The Able Resource helps those seeking funding for all aspects of life, including housing, health and low-income grants, access the information and resources they need.  Click here for details.

Don't only consider Government Grants when seeking financial assistance for educational pursuits. College grants are available through other sources. The amount of money offered through scholarships is incredible.  Eligibility for these scholarships is often NOT based on grades and test scores. These scholarships are offered by numerous companies, institutions, individuals and memorial funds and have been set up to serve a multitude of purposes.  From scholarships based on ethnic community, to age groups, to disadvantaged people and families - there are so many out there it will likely astound you.  Many are specifically designed and tailored to those people and communities that have traditionally been underrepresented in American universities. Finding them is made easy in the Able Internet Resource Guide.

Don't make the mistake of assuming that scholarships are reserved solely for the brilliant individual!  From Burger King, to MacDonald's, to 3M, to Wal-Mart, to special interest groups, to individuals who have built scholarships in their names - for their reasons - there are literally thousands available.  Let someone else help to fund your education!! Finding education funding isn't as hard as many people think.
