FAQ's
Can I find a grant that will pay living expenses while I attend school?
Most education grants are based on the intended program of study, and tend to have many limitations on how the monies are to be spent (i.e. for textbooks, but not living costs, etc.) Many education-based grants are based on financial need of the individual.
