to a federal program.
Frequently asked questions
Who is eligible for a federal grant?
Federal dollars are generally reserved for communities,
municipal agencies, and organizations with a 501(c)3 tax status
(non-profit). Education grants, however, such as Pell grants
and some fellowship/research grants are awarded to individuals.

through grants. See
