Introduction
Every citizen has a right to education and this is one of the most fundamental and basic right of a person. This right is often crushed amidst poverty and increasing cost of higher education. People who are not effluent and belong to lower middle class often find it difficult to provide higher education to their children because of lack of money and for getting higher education one has to pay a lot due to increasing college fees and other expenses. To help the people and the deserving students’ government gives Education Grants to them. These grants are interest free and are not to be returned that is they are a onetime help provided by the government to the students so that they can pay their fees and are able to bear other expenses while studying their respective courses. This help is not according to the students studying capacity but due to the monetary position the student is in. Free Grants as the name would suggest are grants for everyone but it is completely different in actuality. These actually are grants given to different people for different purposes and not free in nature. One has to return an amount as payback of the original grant which can be any percent of the original amount. These are rather funds like those of loans taken by people but in this the amount to be returned is much less than the actual. There is also some funding which are specially made for women who have small businesses and for the lower income people of the society whose lives can be improved with these funds. Free Grants are also for those public benefitting organisations which work on non profit basis and only work for the betterment of lives of the people.

- In some cases these are also provided to the students who are pursuing their doctorate and are going to do research work in future.
- People who want to get their education funded should always make sure that they always have the required amount of documents that prove that come from a lower economy society.
- The grants given to agencies and nongovernmental organisations are not exactly Free Grants as these organisations have to fulfil certain criteria prescribed by the government.
- These have to meet some criteria of work that has to be done for the people and then they are helped by the government.
