If I've understood you correctly, what you describe is not what your
current configuration does.

Assume that files called "yes" do exist on your filesystem, and files
called "no" do not exist.

What response do you want for requests for each of:

  /grant/one/yes.txt
  /grant/one/no.txt
  /grant/one/yes.php
  /grant/one/no.php

And do you get that response in each case? If not, does the difference
matter?

I suggest using a named location for handling the "not there" fallback
-- either as the final argument to try_files, or perhaps as "error_page
404 = @fallback".

Then

  location @fallback {
    fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /apps/grant/index.php;
    include fastcgi_params;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/local/sockets/grant.sock;
  }

Test what order of the first two directives work in your fasctcgi server.
