The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) cautions students to look and listen for these tell-tale lines of scholarship scams:

• "The scholarship is guaranteed or your money back."

• "You can't get this information anywhere else."

• "I just need your credit card or bank account number to hold this scholarship."

• "We'll do all the work. You just pay a processing fee."

• "The scholarship will cost some money."

• "You've been selected" by a "national foundation" to receive a scholarship - or "You're a finalist" in a contest you never entered.
