Fraudulent
scholarships
threaten
students

By Office of Financial Aid

Last week, a student approached our
office to inquire about a recent scholarship
notification received from aprivate organization,
USA Scholarship Services: In this notification,
the student was selected to receive an offer to
apply for the 2011/2012 scholarship program,
and may receive up to $7,500 in scholarships:
The student needed to send a check for $27 to
pay for processing fees and if the student failed
to qualify for a scholarship for at least $1,000,
then the $27 is refunded: Sounds great, right?
WRONGI

After researching this company, USA
Scholarship Services essentially uses the $27
processing fee to mail recipients applications for
various scholarship consideration with different
organizations The company is allowed to keep
the $27 processing fee because the student has
to NOT qualify for a scholarship opportunity
and submit denial letters to be refunded Now
only does USA Scholarship Service have several
complaints submitted to the Federal Trade
Commission about them, they are also under
review by Better Business Bureau related to
their business practices: After identifying the
various issues with USA Scholarship Services,
the Office of Financial Aid immediately
reported them to the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC): Hopefully, the FTC will investigate this
organization and stop them from scamming
other families:

Unfortunately, many students and
parents fall victim to scholarship scams like
this one due to lack of knowledge about private
scholarship resources: As the price for education
consistently rises between 577% nationwide
annually (more than doubling the annual cost
of inflation), families are finding it hard to afford
the continuous college expenses and are looking
forthe best ways to finance educational expenses
using private resources: Below are tips you can
use to protect yourself from falling victim to a
scholarship scam:

Protect yours elf I

Investigate: If you have an opportunity
for a scholarship inthe future, please make sure
you complete due diligence and investigate the
company contacting you before submitting any
information to them:

Contact Financial Aid: Talk to a
financial aid advisor to seek assistance in
identifying if the organization is legitimate: We
are happy to look into these organizations for
you!

Utilize on campus resources first: The
Office of Financial Aid and Galvin Libraryhave
several scholarship opportunities available for
students to use to identify actual scholarship
opportunities: Stop by both areas and use our
resources in our office and on our websites:
