AVOID FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS
AVOID FINANCIAL AID & SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS
If you have to pay to get money for financial aid, it is probably a scam. Every year students and parents are cheated out of more than $100 million dollars. According to the Federal Trade Commission, common signs of a scam which you should watch out for include:
Companies or organizations using names such as “National,” “Federal,” “Foundation,” or “Administration.”
“There is a scholarship application fee.”
“This scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.”
“You can’t get this information anywhere else.”
“May I have your credit card number, social security number, ATM pin number, or bank account number to hold this scholarship?”
“We’ll do ALL the work for you.”
“This scholarship may cost you some money.”
“You’ve been selected by a foundation to receive a scholarship,” OR “You’re a finalist” in a contest in which you NEVER entered.
There are numerous free services available online (see Web Resources). Be a smart consumer! Never pay money to get money.
