Are free government loans the same as government grants?

Free government loans are different than government grants as they usually do need to be repaid and are offered for a more wide range of uses. If you need funds you may be eligible for a loan or grant, and depending on your needs, one or the other may be more useful. If you want to get a grant you will have to write a proposal to the programme you are interested in and then have the proposal be selected to receive the funds.
