That’s whats good about government grants for education, because it still requires an effort on the part of the receiver. Unlike Welfare where the receiver just sits on their fat ass and receives their check (unless things have changed or theres something I don’t know about). Grants and Scholarships that are worked through the Federal Government promote bettering ones-self. Just like a Government Program that helps people with resumes and helps them find jobs. Its a hand-up, not just a hand-out.

Point of note: I myself did not qualify for federal grants, but I did get one of those Stafford Loans through Wells Fargo, but I’m sure was subsidized by the Federal Government.
