Scholarship Warning

If you receive offers for scholarship and financial aid services, research them carefully if a fee is involved. How do you know if the offer is questionable? Watch for this type of language:

• “You’ve been selected…”
• “You’re a finalist…”
• “The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back.”
• “May I have your credit card number or checking account routing number?”
• “The scholarship will cost some money.”

If you have questions about offers or invitations you receive, ask your guidance counselor or EducationQuest about the free resources that are available.
