Monthly Tip
Reputable education organizations will NOT charge fees for the scholarship searches they offer. Do not be fooled by “special offers” lurking on the Internet. Be wary of questionable claims and avoid fee-for-service offers. If you have a question about the legitimacy of a scholarship search service, please call the Commission at 877-272-4456. The Federal Trade Commission offers tips on recognizing scams and how to file a complaint.
