I didn't see those ads. To see if they're legitimate or not, you have to verify it in the mentioned school.

The University of Phoenix was given a large grant to award stipends to students pursuing degrees in teaching. Thousands of dollars are given annually to dozens of University of Phoenix Masters in Education students, as part of Project REACH, with the agreement that students commit to three years of teaching in high-need areas.

As far as grant money for adults, it undoubtedly exists. What, and how much, depends on the particular institution, but it's out there if you do some digging. Most colleges and universities should mention this in their scholarships or financial aid section.
The ads, however, are probably fake. Ads for this sort of thing tend to be. As a general rule, if YOU have to pay a substantial sum -- or, in many cases, any sum -- for a scholarship, it's a red flag. If it's any kind of online ad, that's a red flag too. Be skeptical and always do more research.

I think the grants etc advertised are just designed to get people calling 1800 numbers and so forth. Yes there are grants to go back to school BUT they seem to be few and far between. I went to college in my thirties and was part of a low income family, my last two semesters were as a single parent, and all I could get were loans which needed to be repaid.

Grants for schooling do exist. The key is to find those that you are qualified for. I found a site of a Bona Fide service provider which will do just that.
I suggest you check them out.
