List of Popular Scholarship and Grants

There are a number of popular scholarships and grants that students will want to look for. While obtaining these scholarships can be challenging, the rewards are well worth it. One of the largest sources of both scholarships and grants is the U.S. Department of Education. It is estimated that this federal student aid program provides almost $60 billion per year in the form of scholarships, grants, and student loans.

This is a highly reliable source of funding that millions of students apply for each year. The U.S. government reserves a lot of money for education due to imbalances in their spending. This has created a number of opportunities for students who are wise enough to take them.
