With the economy in bad shape like it is these days, many people are experiencing financial hardships. As a result, the scammers are out in force, advertising their books and CDs that promise free money from the government for everything from paying your bills to getting out of debt, and more.
I'm getting a boatload of emails from people who want me to help them write a letter to apply for a government free money grant. Many others write to say that they need the right form to apply for a grant or that they have written a proposal but don't know which government agency to send it to.
If you need help, you may be eligible for various types of government benefit programs, which are often called grants. Most of these programs are administered at the state and local levels. You don't need a special book to find them, and you don't need to write a letter or a proposal to apply. But you will probably have to meet certain income or other types of requirements, and you'll need to be realistic -- despite what the scammers and books tell you, the government is not going to give you a handful of free money to pay off your credit card bills.
Below is a list of categories of benefits and assistance offered by the government. You'll find this listing along with links to specific programs in your state as well as federal agency programs and other resources. Just click on the link to go to the website.

Thanks Deborah... awesome information!
I too am finding that people are really having a difficult time sifting through all the SCAMMERS in grant/scholarship cyber world. I have actually begun uncovering some of these more popular sites to help people steer clear!
While it is true that any and all grants/scholarships can be discovered Free of charge... the problem is that in the time it takes to do a thorough search and then sift out all the qualifiers, you are too exhausted to actually pursue! :-)
