Easy Ways to Avoid Fraudulent Scholarship Programs

With the advent of the internet, the mass-market media world, has everyone trying to get something for nothing. One very old saying says to never look a gift horse in the mouth. This is as true today as it was when it was first coined. Whenever something is offered for free, there is almost always a catch to it. Granted there are many free grants and scholarships available, but if something doesn't look quite right, investigate thoroughly before signing on the dotted line. Here are some of the some of the things to look for:

• Does it include hidden fees and up-front monies to be paid?
• Does it have a 'First Come, first serve principle'?

Among the junk mail are letters that look legitimate but are in fact a scheme to con a person into paying for something that is nothing more than a scam. Some of these are obvious uses of a legitimate fund name but with one or two letters changed. By reading the text of the letter and the fine print it is usually easy to spot the phony offers. However, if there are any questions, have the school financial aid officers look it over. There is a book published each year listing available scholarships.

Students with less than major academic records are easy targets. Offers that state things such as 'First come, first served' are never true. This kind of deadline may be true for furniture sales and other forms of advertising, but never true for scholarships. Another favorite line is "You've won!" If you have not applied for this scholarship, you cannot just win it. A scholarship must be applied for. These two types of scams almost invariably ask for credit card information for verification, or a bank account number to hold the winnings. This is never asked for with legitimate scholarship grants. One other catch phrase to watch for is "It's guaranteed". A scholarship search cannot guarantee getting a person scholarship money.
