BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS!

You should NOT have to give your full social security number, a credit card number, or a deposit for any scholarship! The ONLY time you might have to pay a fee is for fine arts scholarships where an audition is involved as someone has to come to judge these. These fees should be minimal. Some scholarships for universities may required the last 4 digits of your social to match with your application - when in doubt - ASK!
