Self help to get personal grant

images (26)If you are knee deep in debts or want money for some serious personal issues than personal grants are what you are looking for. You can get money in the form of personal grants from state government if you can show that you are really in need of that money. Instead of going here and there for personal loans the best option is to directly go to government agencies which provide state government grants for personal reasons. There are many community grants available which provide you money if you belong to a certain minority and fall in the eligibility criteria of fund granting.
Here are a few simple steps as to how to proceed with applying for personal grants in the form of state government grants:
  • Step 1: The first step is searching for the required grants. It is advised that you seek the help of a legal government website to search all grants that are available along with the deadline for receiving applications. Visit the site: http://www.government-grant.us/. This site is best for applying for state government grants in the U.S. The agency that is administrating the grant is also mentioned here. You can search according to 26 federal agencies which administer grants or you can also search by your funding category. Keyword based search facility is also available.
  • Step 2: Before you apply for a grant you must be aware whether the grant opportunity is appropriate for your purpose or not. Therefore you must carefully review the complete synopsis of the grant. Now that you are sure about the grant, click on the apply button to apply for the grant.
  • Step 3: Generally the govt. site allows you to download the whole application form in PDF format so that you can fill it out. Some websites ask for online registration also. Anyway the website given asks you to download the application package and also makes you fill out entries online. You then complete the downloaded PDF application form with the help of Adobe Reader.
  • Step 4: This is the form completion step. Make sure that you have filled out all the entries. Cross check all the information that you have entered to make sure you made no mistakes. If you have a DUNS number then make sure that it matches with the number specified in the file. Lastly check your file so that you don’t attach a virus with it.
  • Step 5: In this step you have to submit the complete attachment package along with any extra attachments if asked for. All you have to do is attach your file, click on save and submit button and your grant application will be submitted to the state government grant website. After submitting you will get a confirmation message and a tracking number on the screen. Make sure that you securely save this tracking number for future reference.
The information about the status of your application will be sent to you via email. There is also a track my application option available on the website for you to easily track the status of your application form. You are all set to hear news about your personal grant now, one way or another.
Therefore it can be said that it is really easy to apply for personal grants via state government grant services or community grant services to solve whatever personal money problems/requirements you have.
