Grant Consultants
The inside resource to free government money..
BACKGROUND
Grant Consultants first appeared through television advertisements during the 80s. They were highly successful selling books that directed people toward little-known government grant resources that the entrepreneur or average citizen could utilize.
Because grant perimeters often change, these books have to be updated every few years. In an effort to continue with their highly-profitable venture, they now have a presence online.
Grant Consultants provides literature only, in the form of a CD if you prefer. They are not truly a consulting service, rather they provide a general listing of the types of grants that exist in numerous categories. Often omitted from the materials are the exact qualifications required for those who apply for said grants. It is up to the consumer to research more fully. Because of this, the books and CDs have declined in popularity.
Grant Consulting is a legitimate business. A qualified Grant Consultant has both government and private requirements at his/her disposal. Therefore, they are fully qualified to direct the consumer toward programs that they might actually be entitled to.
PRO

CON

Currently the CD or book retails for around $60.
COLLEGE GRANTS

CONCLUSION
There are many resources available to assist students when seeking financial assistance. Schools have information concerning government grants, and often, when a student needs additional funds, seeking resources from private sources is preferable.
