Answer 1

Complete listing of Government Grants- Free!

http://www.grants.gov

Answer 2

If a program is really affiliated with or sanctioned by the government, the last letters of the web address will be ".gov," not ".com." Also, you may find charities which claim to offer scholarships or grants. Those will always have ".org" at the end of their addresses. ".gov" and ".org" are pretty tightly controlled, so the chances of being scammed by information contained directly on such a site is very low. ".com" can be obtained by anyone for any "legitimate purpose, so the scam factor is high. Go see your school counselor (or if in college, your financial aid office) for guidance to the best legitimate sources of funds.

Answer 3

Most likely it's a business. You pay them to do the research for you. Any online listing that ends in .com is a commercial enterprise. If you wish to find out about grants check with the government agencies. They will be listed as .gov and usually will be free of charge.
