That is what I am attempting to do with my try_files directive:

try_files $uri $uri/ /grant/index.php?$args;

If the file does not exist, I want it to try “index.php” in the root of the grant folder, so in the try_files directive I have “/grant/index.php?$args” so that it tries using the proper location.  At least that’s how I understand try_files?
