Scholarship Fraud:
The College Scholarship Fraud Prevention Act of 2000 was passed to protect students against fraud by creating criminal guidelines for financial aid fraud. Never give out your social security number or bank information for a scholarship. Legitimate sponsors should provide contact information upon request. There is no need for any student to pay for college preparation or financial aid advice. High school counselors, college financial aid administrators, and the Federal Student Aid Information Center all provide help for free. If you believe you've been the victim of scholarship fraud, wish to file a complaint, or want more information, call 1 (877) FTC-HELP or visit the Federal Trade Commission website.
