As you begin your search for possible scholarship funds, please beware of scholarship scams. Some organizations pretend to be various graduate or professional school providers. They may have credible sounding names, but be aware of these warning signs:
* They ask you for money to help you search for a loan or scholarship
* They ask you to attend a seminar to learn more about their programs
* They tell you that you're guaranteed to win their scholarships
* They claim an impossible high success rate (they are most likely providing financial aid in the form of a loan, not a scholarship)
* They request unusual personal information, such as a bank account, credit card number, or social security number
* They do not offer a phone number or street address
Securing a scholarship or grant should never cost you money, should never require you to attend a seminar, and is not ever guaranteed. If you have any doubts, don't use the service. If you would like more information about scholarships scams, please visit the Federal Trade Commission's Scholarship Scams website, where you can also report suspicious organizations.
