There are a few main sources of grant money. Here's where to look, and the best order to look in:

1. Federal grants: Complete your FAFSA to qualify for federal grants like the Pell Grant. It's important to do this first, because most other grants require you to submit your FAFSA before you can apply to them.

2. State grants: Each state has its own grant programs. Check out your state's higher education agency website for more information.

3. College grants: Most colleges offer their own special grants to students. Visit the financial aid section of your college's website or contact your financial aid office to find out what you qualify for.

4. Private grants: Private organizations like community foundations offer grants based on academic achievements, community service, or specific fields of study.
