Don't Get Scammed on Your Way to College!
LOOK FOR 6 SIGNS A SCHOLARSHIP SEARCH MAY BE A SCHOLARSHIP SCAM
1."This scholarship is guaranteed or your money back". No one can guarantee that they will get you a grant or scholarship. Refund guarantees often, have conditions or strings attached. get rfund policies in writing before you pay.
2."You can't get this iinformation any where else". Check with your scool or library before you decide to pay someone to do work for you.
3.May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship?" Don't give out your credit card or bank account number. Check with your CAp advisor or Counselor before you give information or sign contracts.
4. "We'll do all the work". Don't be fooled. There is no way around it. You must apply for scholarship or grants yourself.
5."The scholarship will cost money". Don't pay anyone who claims to be holding a scholarship grant for you. Free money shouldn't cost a thing.
6.You've been selected by a national foundation to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist in a contest" (That you never entered). before you send money to apply for a scholarship check with your CAP advisor.
