There are many ways to get into college and get help. There are funds and scholarships. Since you are native american your heritage can play a big role on a scholarship.Having good grades is a must. If you have bad grades like c,d or f it will hurt you chances.Working hard and showing it makes a college look at you. If you had trouble as a freshamn and your grades increased gradually over time then a college will see hard worker and consider you more than if you were a person who had great grades.Also look on the internet and ask your local school counsilor and never give up.

The Government has created a portal to help individuals who need benefits because of life events. Visit http://www.govbenefits.gov\n\nUse the drop down button\nDO YOU NEED BENEFITS BECAUSE OF A LIFE EVENT?\nChoose the life situation best applicable to you and then see if you qualify for the available government assistance.\n\nYou can also contact your county health office to see what assistance may be available to your family.\n\nForget grant money - there's hardly any money for individuals. Go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. But you'd be hard pressed to find any grant that would support individuals.\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs

I suggest you check out non profits, who are the recipients of most housing grants. Check out Habitat for Humanity. \n\nAlso visit the Nehemiah Corp as they have a downpayment assistance program for qualified lenders http://www.getdownpayment.com/\n\nThe Housing and Urban Development in their Grants Available page makes it clear that they do not provide grants to individuals -- hence no grants for a person to buy a home http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm\n\n"While HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals, we do work through local governments and non-profit organizations to make financial assistance and counseling available."\n\n You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.

You can find the list of grants provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on this page http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm .

Go to the internet and put  www.cfda.gov in the address dialog box and hit enter.  Read all you can.  That is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance.  It can help minorities and anyone else who wants free information on grants.  Matthew Lesko and others just copied this free information to any one, and charge a price to buy their books.

The government is NOT in the business of \ngiving away free money for the sake of giving away money. Grants are free, but it means OBLIGATION. You will be obligated to do as the grant sets out to do. Grants have objectives, and your purpose must fit the objective of the grant.\n\nFor one, you have to write the grant application and the grant application is not a simple document - you have to explain how your purpose for applying for the grant fits well with the objectives set out by the grant.\n\nThere there is a stringent review process through a committee.
