Beware of Scholarship Scams

Taken From a Fastweb Bulletin:

• If you have to pay money to get money, it is probably a SCAM.
• Never invest more than a postage stamp to get information about scholarships or to apply for a scholarship.
• Nobody can guarantee that you will win a scholarship.
• Do not give out personal information like bank account, credit card or Social Security numbers.
• Beware of the unclaimed aid myth.  The only money that goes unclaimed is money that can't be claimed.
