I'm wondering is I can use a grant for down payment money?

Lenders require 2 months bank statements to verify the money used for down payment is your money.. If they see the deposit listed on the statement you provide, then you have to prove the money is not a loan.. Most grants have strings attached.. meaning they can be subject to repayment if you don't follow the terms of endowment.. I've seen grants subject to a minimum GPA or if the student drops out, then they have to repay the grant.. Since this is an education grant, it's unlikely the lender will consider it for down payment, however, if the funds have been in your account for more than 90 days, then the deposit will not be seen and you wont have to prove it's source.
