Why was grants name change?

Ulysses S. Grant's name change occurred due to a mix-up when he applied to the United States Military Academy at West Point. His birth name was Hiram Ulysses Grant, but a clerical error on his application listed him as "Ulysses S. Grant." He decided to keep the name, adopting "S" as a middle initial, which he later said stood for "Sam," after his childhood friend, although it had no official significance. This name became synonymous with his legacy as a prominent Union general and the 18th President of the United States.

What are categorical grants-in-aid?

Categorical grants are the main source of federal aid to state and local government, can be used only for specific purposes and for helping education or categories of state and local spending.Categorical grants are distributed either on a formula basis or a project basis. For project grants, states compete for funding; the federal government selects specific projects based on merit. Formula grants, on the other hand, are distributed based on a standardized formula set by Congress.During the development of the Interstate Highway System, congressional grants provided roughly 90% of the funding. Categorical grants may be spent only for narrowly defined purposes and 33% of categorical grants are considered to be formula grants. Examples of categorical grants include Head Start, the Food Stamp Program, and Medicaid.
