- I thought this was a site for grants. Where are they?
"Grants" is too limited a word for the range of assistance you
can find in the CFDA. There are currently 15 types of assistance
available including surplus equipment, training, guaranteed loans, and,
of course, grants.
- How do I apply for a grant?
Once you have found an
assistance program you wish to apply for, follow the directions
contained within that program. Each program is unique and has its own
requirements and procedures.
- Where can I find assistance to go to school?
Contact
the financial aid office of the school(s) you want to attend. They will
have information on a wide variety of assistance options available to
you from the Federal Government as well as many other sources not listed
in the CFDA.
- Where can I find assistance to start a business?
The
Federal Government offers many programs to assist you in starting a
business. There are a few programs which offer direct
loans or guaranteed/insured
loans for specific purposes but there are many more programs
offering a wide variety of services directed at enhancing business and
commerce and aid to small
businesses.
- Can you send me a grant application?
You need to read
the requirements for the program(s) you are interested in. While some
programs have their own specific application forms, many use the Standard Form 424,
Application for Federal Assistance, for applications. Visit the OMB Grants
Management Page for a wide selection of forms related to grants.
- Why can't I download the Standard Form 424, Application for
Federal Assistance?
