Scholarship Search Services

A number of privately operated scholarship search services charge fees that can range from $50 to well over $1000. Each year, the U.S. Department of Education receives numerous complaints from families who did not receive the information they expected. 

Most of the information private scholarship search services provide can be obtained for free elsewhere. Searching for student aid on your own can prevent you from wasting your money. 

Signs of a scholarship scam ?

      Fed Trade Commission Scam List

·    You have to pay a fee to apply

·    Millions of dollars go unclaimed every year. The large figures represent an estimated national total of employee or member benefits. Usually, they are available only to the employees of a specific company.

·    Money back guarantee  They may offer to refund your fee if you do not receive any award. However, some services require you to provide a rejection letter from every source on the list to claim your refund. Make sure you get the scholarship search service’s refund policy in writing before paying any money.

·    You can’t get the same information anywhere else. Many services make you pay to get information you could have received for free from a college financial aid office, state education agency, local library, the U.S. Department of Education, or the Internet. 

·    Some require a credit card or bank account number to hold student financial aid for you. You should never give out a credit card or bank account number unless you know the company or organization you are giving it to is legitimate.

·    They claim that you are a finalist in a scholarship contest. Most sources of financial aid have eligibility criteria; they do not, operate like a sweepstakes.

·    Scholarship seminars frequently end with one-on-one meetings in which a salesperson pressures the student to “buy now or lose out on this opportunity.” Legitimate services don’t use such pressure tactics. 

Investigate the organization yourself before making a commitment

·    Ask for names of three or four local families who have used its services recently.
·    Ask how many students have used the service and how many of them received scholarships.
·    Find out about the service’s refund policy.
·    Get everything in writing. Read all the fine print before signing anything.
