When I search for a grant all these sites come up about buying a cd or something are they gimics? Also what are some good sites to go to for grants.

Product Reviews - Government Grants

This is a government site

USASearch.gov: grants

Also if you are looking for school grants any school you apply to can give you information.
Also I think career places like Monster.com may suggest some grant sites.
Or a local career center.

Normally the college you are going to, will have a department to help get you loans and grants.
