Are there any grants to get a house built if you just graduated from college?

You can go to the Grants page of HUD to see what housing grants are available http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm although I doubt that just because you graduated from college now qualifies you for a grant

I am assume you are talking about education grants fro school.  As you know, the aid is given for a year.  Therefore, if you go to school from fall to spring semter and you are taking a full load of courses, you would have used up all of your grant money.  So, the only thing you can get is loan if you have not max them out either.  Maybe a summer job could be more efficient.

I found a website that has really good information about grants for down payments.  We are currantly in the same situation and this site helped us out a lot.  They are for first time home buyers and also if you are starting over.  There are tons out there, you just have to know where to look.  Hope this helps!

Yes - first go to fafsa.ed.gov and fill out information for Financial Aid.  This is money you will have to pay back after you get your degree, but it will help you get it.  Depending on your EFC - expected family contribution - the school you want to attend may have programs for those in need.  The school will also be able to find out for you how much you can get from a Pell Grant.  Pell grants do not need to be paid back.  They vary in amount, and generally are enough to cover one to two course credits per year.\n\nFastweb.com is a site where you can apply for scholarships - some are essay's but worth the effort.\n\nAnother thought is by signing up yourself, your friends and family on UPromise.   You all can earn certain percentages for college  with purchases made....even some utility bills.\n\nFill out any and all forms for assistance that you can.  If you attend a college in your state, often the state has grant programs for single mothers.  Check your state's website.\n\nLook around the sites listed and you will get a better feel for what's out there for you.\n\nThere are links on the fafsa website that you can use for guides on obtaining funds to attend.\n\nSome student loans are available as well.  You can pay after you get your degree. National City, GM, Bank of America...etc.   Some offer full deferment, and some you can pay the interest while you attend.  \n\nGood Luck!!!!

The only way you can get a grant is from the council. They will conduct a survey of your home and see how much work needs done. Depending on the quality of living you have got in the house, depends how much the council will give you.\n\nMy friends parents bought a house and got around £5000 to do the house up but then found other problems with the building and reapplied for some more money to cover theses extra costs. Alot of the money was given to them for structural factors of the building though, not a new kitchen for instance.\n\nhope this helps abit

Ask the school of which you will be attending.\nThey may be able to help you with Grants or even scholarships.  Also, check with your local FD.  They may be able to provide you with some specific information regarding the your area and the process and procedures for that area.

if you are looking to get money for school..try talking to the financial director at that particular school.  They should be able to help you with any type of federal aid that you qualify for..and at a better rate than you can get from any bank.  Plus you don't have to start paying on it til after you graduate.  But, if you are looking to build up your credit, visit your local loan officer, and try taking out some small loans..like $2000 or so, and make sure you always pay on time!!

If it is anything like the program in MS, then there are companies that give you credit (a certain % of your rent) towards the future purchase of a house.  I know that down here you have to pay some fees to do this.

There are lenders that could help you a little if you had a job. That is you problem. You have to have income that can be verified and job history to support that. Being a student and not having a job will make it impossible for you to buy a house unless you have someone that will say that you work for them and do a "stated" loan which is where they don't verify your income.

Here's a place to start: http://studentaid.ed.gov/PORTALSWebApp/students/english/index.jsp&#92;\nalso, if you are getting it at a Public University, you have more funds available. There aren't a whole lot of resources for Post Grad education but there are some! Also, most schools have a Federal Perkins Loan program. I STRONGLY recommend you contact the Financial Aid dept at the school where you will get your Master's. If you haven't decided on a school yet, call one of your potentials or look at their website, there should be a resources page. GOOD LUCK!!!!

you can get scholarships and grants on collegeboard.com, scholarships.com, and sallie mae... you can also look at a book called "1001 Ways to Pay for College"... it's a GREAT resource... and don't worry too much about student loans... people that graduate from college make MUCH more than people that don't... and you'll be able to pay it off... and student loan lenders are really nice about it... as long as you are paying it little by little they don't care... it's when you stop completely... i'd DEFINITELY say that you should go back to college... it's worth it. You could even try looking for colleges that insure that you'll be able to pay... there are several like that... where the college will work to make sure you can afford it... those are listed in the book as well...

I did not graduate high school and years latter went and got my GED. then went on to college. Chose the college you want to attend and they will help you find the grants and fill out the paperwork. I know it is overwhelming for someone who has never done it before and NAU was great in helping me out.

No, there are no grant program for renters. If you are talking of federal grants, it depends on appropriation approved by Congress. \n\nNote though that while non profits may give some grant assistance to home buyers, even HUD does not give out grants.\n\nThe Housing and Urban Development in their Grants Available page makes it clear that they do not provide grants to individuals -- hence no grants for a person to buy a home http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm\n\n"While HUD does not offer direct grants or loans to individuals, we do work through local governments and non-profit organizations to make financial assistance and counseling available."\n\nFor information on grants, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two FREE sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your purposes.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently.\n\nNote though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants. \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
