Beware of Scholarship Scams
If you must pay money to get money, it might be a scam. Every year there are a few scams based on imitations of legitimate foundations, scholarship sponsors, lenders, and scholarship search companies. Consult The Financial Aid Information Page (FINAID) on the web for good advice on identifying scams.
