So Money with Farnoosh Torabi · Monday, September 28, 2026
Farnoosh Torabi notes that while some students treat scholarship applications as a numbers game, grants are a significant undertaking. Trey Baj echoes this, stating that grant applications can be very time-consuming and advises business owners to be highly selective, focusing on grants they are a strong candidate for.
“But grants are quite the lift.”
“So I can tell you that they're very time-consuming in some cases, especially, you know, grants from financial institutions. They're very lengthy.”
“And so if I were looking at this as a small business owner applying for grants, I would maybe select a handful that you feel like you are a really good candidate for.”
