Scholarship Scams
Some scholarships may be scams, so stay alert. Each year, many students and families lose money to fraud. Watch for these warning signs:
- Fees to apply or process
- Loan fees
- Promises of guaranteed winnings
- Claims that “everyone is eligible”
- Statements about “billions in unclaimed aid”
- Offers to apply for you
If you receive an unexpected scholarship check, be cautious. Never share personal or banking information. Scholarship funds should be sent to the Financial Aid Office and applied to your student account.
