According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services as well as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), it is illegal for a company to ask you to pay to apply for or to increase your odds of being awarded a federal grant. Federal grants are awards of financial assistance to an individual and/or organization. Grants are used to carry out a government authorized purpose, and are not provided as personal benefits from the government or assistance. Grants are typically awarded to universities, researchers, law enforcement, cities, states, counties and non-profit organizations.
Also according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, the only official access point for all federal grant-making agencies is grants.gov.

However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
