*How to identify scholarship scams by Cappex*

Don't forget to check college websites (where you’re applying) - Although not all schools award merit-based scholarships, those that do are very valuable because they’ll likely renew all four years. The process for giving out scholarship money varies from school to school. You should also check the department of the major you’re considering, which may have its own scholarships and process for awarding scholarships.
