Why do sites charge to provide a list of government grants and loans? Shouldn’t that information be public?
I mean if its a federal or state grant or loan for a student or personal resons shouldn’t the state or federal government supply that knowledge to the public? Why do only certain companies have these list of available funds and how do they get away with charging for this public information?


it is public, no need to pay a site to look for you. most people just dont know how to look, where to look or just plain give up. giving up doesnt get you the funds… so dig you must. most require you fill out an application and submit an essay. have a friend or two review the essay for you, because they seem to catch the errors we dont see.
every company is different (that offers the grants / scholarships), so it will list what they want and the deadline. if you still are not sure contact them and ask.
here they are: i know its a lot, but take your time and pick through them.

try to aim for grants/scholarships more… they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying.
every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc
heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.
Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants & scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.
OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
