Quiz: College Scholarships - Could You Be Scammed?

Monday January 15, 2007
I am amazed at how many college scholarship offers through email that I am getting for my oldest daughter are scams. I have even received two post cards to seminars on getting a college education for free. Now I know that these seminars are just to sell consulting services, but not everyone does and many people get taken in every year. You end up spending more for the service than your teen gets in scholarships. Not good.

So if you want to know how easily you can be taken in by college scholarship scams, take the quiz. Or you can get some hints by reading my 10 Most Common Signs of Scholarship Scams.
