Look for these warning signs that a scholarship may be a scam!
- "This scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."
- "You can't get this information anywhere else."
- "May I have your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."
- "We'll do all the work."
- "The scholarship will cost you some money."
- "You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship," or "You're a finalist in a contest."
Keep in mind that no one can guarantee to get you a grant or scholarship. Many free lists of scholarships are available. Get all information about a scholarship in writing. You must apply for the scholarships and grants yourself! Don't pay anyone who claims to have access to a scholarship for you. Make sure the foundation or program sponsoring the scholarship is legitimate.
