The following links will be helpful if there is a fraudulent scholarship suspected. Be cautious when the following statements are made:
"The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."
"You can't get this information anywhere else."
"I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."
"We'll do all the work."
"The scholarship will cost some money."
"You've been selected by a 'national foundation' to receive a scholarship" or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.
Caution: Legitimate scholarship information should be free of charge.
