The one thing that you have to understand about federal grant programs is that since they are being financed by taxpayer dollars - the information has to be (and is) freely accessible to the public.  That means that information about the government grant programs is available online and in public libraries.

But what you should also know is that its just not the government that has grant programs.  Other entities like foundations and organizations have them too and while they are not obligated to make their information about their grant programs freely accessible to the public they want to make the information about their grant programs known to as many people as possible.  As a matter of fact there have been a lot of grant programs that have stopped simply because no one or not enough people applied for them!

 

Here is another fact that you should know about grants that have to do with going back to school.  There are a lot of them out there!  Why?  Because the government (and the schools)encourage and want people to go back to school.  Why?  So that they can get a better education - which really when you think about it helps the person who wants to go back to school in the first place).  There are colleges and universities out ther that are now offering grant packages instead of student loans because this puts less of a financial strain on the student(s).  In my research I have found out some very amazing things about grants related to going back to school.  For instance there are some "black" colleges that are offering full tuition financial support for "white" students to attend their colleges.  Crazy isn't it?

Since you already seem to have access to the internet then that is where you should start searching.
