Beware of Scholarship  Scams

Nature of recent scam: Students receive a letter from a company called College Admissions Assistance. The letter states that the student is scheduled to participate in an educational group presentation followed by a personal interview to help determine college admission and financial aid eligibility. The letter goes on to state that colleges are already identifying prospective 9th graders and the students' parents needed to attend the meeting because their child's future is "too important not to attend." The letter looks very official.

At the interview, parents listen to a 3-hour presentation and are then asked to pay almost $2,000. For those that don't have the money, the company's representatives offer to set them up with a payment plan.

As of late September, the Better Business Bureau had receive 14 complaints about the College Admissions Assistance.

Never give money to  anyone claiming to be able to get your child academic or athletic scholarships!
