Scholarship Scams


HOW TO AVOID A SCHOLARSHIP SCAM
Expert Advice provided by ScholarshipExperts.com

The best way to avoid being the victim of a scholarship scam is to remember 
the old adage:  If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.  If a 
scholarship search service promises you a scholarship, run the other way.  If 
someone insists that for $5 or $30 or $50, he will guarantee you a 
scholarship, it is definitely a scam.

Yes, there are lots of scholarship dollars available, but the truth is that 
no one can secure a scholarship for you but you.  Only the prospective 
student can do the work by filling out forms, sending transcripts, and 
writing essays. 

A legitimate scholarship search service provides information that is current 
and accurate; it is an information source.  Take ScholarshipExperts.com for 
instance.  They have invested the resources to explore and compile 
scholarship data from all over the map.  A good scholarship search service 
has a team of research specialists that constantly updates award information.

What good is 2008 award information to a 2009 high school graduate?  When 
looking for a valid, trustworthy scholarship search company, verify that the 
information you are getting is current.  Look for a service like 
ScholarshipExperts.com that compiles their own database of awards and 
delivers up-to-date data
