WATCH OUT FOR SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS
There are six common scams:
• Application and processing fees
• Loan Fees
• Guaranteed winnings
• "Everybody is eligible" - Scholarships all have selective criteria
• Unclaimed aid myth - "Billions of dollars of scholarships go unclaimed every year"
• "We will apply on your behalf"
Never give out your social security number or bank information for a scholarship.
