Guaranteed Scholarships: No scholarship program can guarantee that you will be awarded a scholarship. If a program claims to guarantee scholarships, it is likely a scam.
Unsolicited Offers: Be wary of unsolicited scholarship offers that you receive in the mail, via email, or over the phone. Legitimate scholarship programs do not typically send unsolicited offers.
Report Suspicious Activity: If you suspect that a scholarship program is a scam, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or to your state’s attorney general’s office.
