You should not have to pay someone to help you find a scholarship. You are basically paying them to help you find scholarships that ARE NOT GUARANTEED becuase you paid them. You can do that on your own by going to websites like www.collegeanswer.com. They hold over 2.4 million different type of scholarships and just for using there service which again it is free you are entered to a 1,000 scholarships giveaway. All you do is fill out your profile like who you are what are your interest, etc… www.fastweb.com is another good one. When you fill out the FAFSA to apply for Federal aid be careful when you enter the web address. If you go to www.fafsa.com it takes you to a service to where you pay a fee they will fill out the FAFSA for you claiming that they will guarantee your FAFSA is complete accuratly and track it for you. Although they may be a legite service there is no need to pay some to fill it out for you when it is easy to complete and there are edits even within the FAFSA on the web to catch common errors. If there are errors you or the school can update them online quick and easy. The offical website to complete the FAFSA is www.fafsa.ed.gov. If you do not understand something you can call the Federal processors for free and you can also call your schools financial aid office. Do not pay them. Save that money!!!

go to this url above!!! I just received a letter today about this USA Scholarship Services Scholarship for Biology majors to receive $7,500 scholarship and asking for 25 bucks!!! Or in other words the same one as you…so I decided to google its name b/c it sounded like a scam and long and behold this was the first thing that popped out on the url held above

[ IMPORTANT MESSAGE:

We have recently been made aware that Lehigh University students are being solicited by scholarship search companies. We strongly urge you to check any company with the Better Business Bureau and we advise against using any company that requires payment to do a search. Lehigh University does not sell names to any company. The two most recent solicitations were issued through “College Financial Advisory” and “USA Scholarship Services”. ]

If you follow the page to a link in the bottom for Scholarship Scams and search for this supposed “USA Scholarship Services” it will show you all of it court cases and fraudalent activity. You could probably find any other legit or illegit scholarship companies on the site. Good luck I know all us health majors need it!!!

And just in case I am under my little brother’s user name because I don’t have a yahoo id and I just stumbled upon your post through google, so if anyone else needs to see this here’s your red flag!!!!
