The question is a bit ambiguous, but two of the four statements are false:

- True: "Grants are free money." — Grants generally do not have to be repaid (unless you withdraw or otherwise violate terms).
- True: "Many businesses have scholarships for employees' children." — Many companies do offer such scholarships.

- False: "The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the first step to receiving any kind of financial aid." — FAFSA is required for federal, state, and many institutional aid programs, but some private scholarships and awards do not require a FAFSA, so it isn’t literally the first step for every single type of aid.
- False: "Scholarships are only for the highest academic achievers." — Scholarships exist for athletics, arts, community service, specific majors, demographics, leadership, employer-related ties, and many other criteria, not just top grades.
