Scholarship Scams
Many private scholarship search services provide sources of financial assistance for a fee. We do not evaluate those services. If you decide to use a search service, check its reputation by contacting the Better Business Bureau or your state attorney general’s office. You can search for scholarships for FREE at www.FederalStudentAid.ed.gov. Click here for information regarding scholarship scams and identity theft.
