Beware of Scholarship Scams

You may receive a letter in your mail inviting you to attend a financial aid seminar where you can discover money set aside just for you and your student? It is possibly a scam! Just last year, a few LHS parents spent up to $900 to enlist a private scholarship search agency to find supposedly untapped scholarship money. These students and parents reported that the agency they contracted with found nothing more than what was available to all students on the Internet. They even missed out applying for the locally offered scholarships because this agency did not notify them about these scholarships. Don't become a victim; arm yourself with the facts. Read about such Financial Aid Seminar Scams here.

If you are entering a literary writing contest, such as a poetry writing contest or essay writing contest, please visit this website to read about possible scams. This website is maintained by Wind Publications as a service to published and unpublished poets. Remember that there are legitimate contests out there, but unfortunately there are also greedy organizations who prey on the gullibility of youth. Arm yourself with information before you become a victim. If you are unsure of the legitimacy of a contest, you might ask your English teacher for advice. Mrs. Eneman is also available to research a contest's validity for you.
