False.

Grants are not truly "free money." While you generally don't have to repay the principal, grants come with conditions: specific allowable uses, reporting and audit requirements, performance or deliverable obligations, timelines, and sometimes matching-fund or cost‑sharing requirements. Funds may be taxable, and administering a grant often incurs overhead and time costs. If terms are violated you can be required to repay funds. Always read the grant agreement and budget accordingly.
