How can i recieve a grant?

You have to complete the FAFSA form at the beginning of the year. Everyone knows that grant money doesn't have to be paid back so the sooner you file the better because the money runs out quickly. Also keep in mind that not everyone will receive grant money. The amount is based upon a number of factors and one of them is financial need. Basically, you have a better chance of receiving grant money if you family household income falls below a certain income level.
