Con-artists target the weak, the naïve and desperate. Safe-guard yourself and your finances by becoming aware of scams that commonly target students and by utilizing the following tips when looking into new opportunities:

1) NEVER PAY TO APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIPS - Legitimate scholarship providers don’t want or need your money. They want to help students attend school, not profit off of you! If a scholarship is asking any sort of fee to apply, then it’s likely not a legitimate opportunity.

2) Inquiry of private bank and/or social security information – While scholarship applications may require a degree of personal information, they will never ask for your social security number or bank account information. If they do, it’s likely not a legitimate opportunity and you should never oblige.

NOTE: As a leading scholarship database, Fastweb screens all of the scholarships available on the site and does not charge anything for its services.


SCHOLARSHIPS What is Fastweb? The leading online resource in finding scholarships to help you pay for school. www.fastweb.com

§ Targeted Scholarships Scholarships just for you based on your strengths, interests and skills § College Search Discover the perfect school for your interests and budget § Career Advice Guidance to help you prepare for a promising future § Financial Aid Resources to help you with tough financial aid decisions

Fastweb Tips What makes a scholarship application unique? Which qualities seem the most impressive? How can you turn “just another scholarship application” into the winning scholarship application? 1. Meets Requirements The fastest way to get your scholarship application rejected from the pile is to apply for a scholarship for which you do not qualify. Not to mention, it’s a huge waste of your time. That is why it is paramount to your scholarship search to only apply for scholarships that fit within your academic, extracurricular and philanthropic abilities and achievement. 2. Organized Appearance Scholarship judges are also looking for applications that are easy-to-read, free of typos and are not missing any components. Most scholarship applications these days are hosted online, but for those that require a handwritten application or essay, make sure you use your best penmanship. It’s not a bad idea to practice writing your essay beforehand and then copying it perfectly to the application later. 3. Personal Touch What makes a scholarship application stand out most to judges is personality – or a unique voice. They want to hear about what makes your school experience special or what can separate you from other applicants. Do you have a funny story to tell? Has an experience in your life changed you? Have you created or invented something? Furthermore, judges want to read scholarship essays that are free of any clichés or overused phrases. Try to be as original as possible. The following should go without saying, don’t let mom or dad write your essay. 4. Honesty and Transparency Finally, scholarship judges just want to read about the truth. Don’t embellish or present yourself in a completely different light just because you think it will garnish attention. The committee wants to see you – the real you. After all, winning a scholarship isn’t just receiving money to pay for college; it’s representing that particular brand, organization or special interest. You don’t just become a scholarship winner; you become part of their family – their legacy.
