Potential Scholarship Scams to look out for:
Asking for money: You should not have to pay to apply for a legitimate scholarship or pay to receive a scholarship.
Providing too much personal information: You should not have to provide social security numbers, bank accounts, or financial information when applying for a scholarship.
Illegitimate Claims: any claims that sound bogus, likely are! For example - guaranteed acceptance or availability of exclusive scholarships not offered elsewhere are likely false.
Be mindful of what information you provide when applying for scholarships. Trust your instincts - if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
