GOVERNMENT GRANTS ARE HARD TO UNDERSTAND

With the election of a new president this year, more people than ever are looking for Obama government stimulus grants. They hope that there is more grant money available for personal financial assistance and they want to know where to go to get it.

Just like almost everything the government is involved with, not only is there a lot of red tape you have to cut through but the whole grant process is very confusing to a normal person. The main government website is Grants.gov and if you go there and start poking around, your head may begin to spin.

On this page here about who is eligible for a grant, you find out that you must go to another website if you are seeking a personal grant or student loans. It seems the grants.gov site is just for businesses and state governments hoping to get grants and not for individual people. Who knew?

There are several other websites listed and lots of confusing things that lead you to one page after another. Any person on that website who is looking for a personal grant or Obama back to school grants for moms is likely going to leave without any clue of what they need to do. You see, in order to understand that website and the whole grant process, you almost have to be a lawyer or someone who is highly educated. The government never makes things easy and understanding grants, who they are available for, and how to apply for them is something that is not clearly explained.

Government stimulus grants were not designed as personal grants for everyday people and there is little stimulus money that is allocated for that purpose. If you do want a grant for your business, your home, your education or any other personal reason, it is going to be very difficult for you to understand exactly what is available and where to go to try and get it. This is just another typical government puzzle that we all have to muddle through to get on with our lives and try to make it better.
