Need money for college? Doesn't everybody? Unfortunately, in their efforts to pay the cost, many students and their families are falling prey to scholarship scams.
The Federal Trade Commission cautions students to look for tell tale lines such as the following:
-
The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.
- You can't get this information anywhere else.
- I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship.
- We'll do all the work.
- The scholarship will cost some money.
- You've been selected by a national foundation to receive a scholarship pr "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.
