Avoid College Scholarship Scams!

Post time: 6:00 am

During your college scholarship and grant search, you may come across various scams. To avoid becoming the victim of such a scam, here are some warning signs to watch out for:

  • Processing fees - beware of any group or individual guaranteeing an award if you pay a fee. The scholarships may even assure a refund so that students will be comfortable as consumers, but in reality, the money never returns.
  • Awards without entries - beware of any awards given without entry. If a student is presented an award without actually having to fill out an application, this should also raise a red flag.

There will be many scholarship scams to look out for when you are performing your search, remember, do not pay money to get money. By adhering to these warning signs, you will be less likely to fall victim to such scams.
