A grant is a cash award based on financial need that you do not need to repay. The following is a list of grants available to undergraduate students, eligibility requirements, and how to apply. By filing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid), you are automatically considered for most federal and state grants, as well as other aid. However, you may need to take other or additional steps for certain grants. Check each grant program individually. Only one FAFSA needs to be filed for each academic year.
