Scams

Sad to say,there are many individuals who do not have your best interest at heart. You are lured by guarantees of customized scholarship searches and actual financial awards. There is even an organization that will complete your FAFSA application for a preposterous fee.

Do not pay any application fees, advance fees on scholarship loans or get involved with any "guaranteed" scholarship search services. I would also stay away from free seminars for financial assistance. Sometimes you gain some useful information, but these seminars are usually a front for financial aid consulting services that charge healthy fees.

Be safe. You are trying to win money for college and not spending hard earned money.
