Considerations

• According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, on their grant application website, an individual can run a search for the necessary grant, but it will most likely be denied. Grants are not often awarded to private individuals, especially not for something that would be considered a personal expense.
  
  

Grant Categories

• If an individual or an institution continues the grant application process, there are several categories that can be searched. A grant for automobile conversions could be covered by such categories as Energy, Transportation, Natural Resources or Science and Technology, depending on the precise wording of an application.
  
  

Searching for a Grant

• Searches can be performed on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grant application website. Results can be narrowed down by category, awarding agency or basic keyword searches.
  
  

Additional Information

• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grant website cautions individuals that grants are not loans or benefits for private citizens. Grants are generally awarded to eligible institutions, but there are links provided on the website for places an individual might go to get loans or tax credits.
