What is the difference between a grant from a corporation or organization and a government grant?

Grants from a corporation or organization are typically awarded to institutions or individuals at the class, school, or district level. These grants can also be made available to certain cities, counties, and states, or nationwide. These grants are typically awarded by board members and applicants usually need to meet set criteria or goals outlined by the board.

Most government grants are available at the state or federal level and are awarded by the US Department of Education or a state’s Department of Education. These grants are subject to certain eligibility requirements and usually have very strict deadlines, so be sure to examine each grant fully before applying.
