grant program

Award distribution system

A grant program is an organized system through which an institution—typically a government agency, foundation, or corporation—distributes funds to individuals or organizations for specific purposes.

Grant programs establish eligibility criteria, application procedures, and funding priorities: The federal grant program supports small business research.

Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment.
