Grants are not the same as a scholarship, but while an application process is still followed a grant is a one time payment usually given for a specific purpose. This purpose may be for housing if your family has an income level below a set level, or it could be for expenses incurred for the study of a specific topic or assignment. It does not matter what the eventual reason for the grant is, it will be a one time payment of a set amount of money that is given for a specified reason.
Anyone that is attending or wants to attend an institution of higher learning can apply for any scholarships offered, if you meet the terms and conditions of the scholarship and qualify for the scholarship.
