I'm not the most knowledgeable on grants, but I do know this...they are not just there for the taking. Most grants... i.e. money that does not have to be repaid... has VERY specific reasons for being offered, and, if you haven't figured out from all the web sites and infomercials, there is NO shortage of people looking for the handout. Realistically, grants are a way to assist ongoing enterprises with funds for R&D into areas of special interest. ANYBODY that says "you've been approved for a grant" when you haven't even applied, or don't even know why the funds are being offered, is just out to take you for as much money as you'll give them. Dude, do yourself a favor and quit spending money trying to get grants. If you are involved in an industry for which grant money is available, you will find out through industry trade associations.

Well http://www.maximumgrants.com is up today and it has the same 888# they gave me. I guess they just made a mistake telling me it was dot org instead of dot com.

Hi all, I was recently awarded two financial award letters from two different colleges. I was awarded the maximum Pell grant which is $5000 for both. However one university gave me the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant which is about $4000 extra. My question is how I can receive it from the other university since it clearly shows I’m in financial need. How do I overcome from this situation?
