Is it true that getting government grants means I do not have to pay the money back?

The reason government grants are so popular is because grants are often called free money?, which means they do not require repayment like loans do. This makes government grants a common first choice for anyone seeking funding, due to the lower risk involved than with loans. However, most grants are only issued for specific reasons, which does somewhat negate the usefulness of acquiring a grant unless you are already certain that one meets your needs.
