A federal grant simply means gift aid from the government that you do not have to pay back. If you are looking to apply for a federal grant…you need to start at www.fafsa.ed.gov. You will complete a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) and that will determine what you may qualify for in loans and grants. In order to apply you must be one of the following : US Citizen or a eligible noncitizen with an Alien registration Number. (not here on a work visa)

If you are either a citizen nor an eligible noncitizen, you are not eligible for federal student aid. However, you may be eligible for state or college aid. You would have to speak with the college you plan to attend for that information.
