Free Scholarships Blog

How do you know what scholarships are legitimate and what scholarships are scams? Here’s a really easy way:

Google it.

Specifically, Google the scholarship name or URL plus the word scam. Example:

If you get a lot of results and discussion about whether a scholarship is a scam or not, probably best to skip over applying for it and moving on to the next scholarship opportunity. After all, if you’re using our free Scholarship Search Secrets eBook, you’ve probably got several dozen to apply for.

We have a winner!

The first $10,000 ScholarshipPoints free college scholarship winner of 2009 is in the books!  Congratulations to Jonathan Olson of the University of Iowa.  His hard work as an active ScholarshipPoints member really paid off!

On the Scholarship Winners Page, Jonathan says:

“I have just returned to school to complete an undergraduate major in Actuarial Science that I began long ago. I left my full-time job last August to pursue my education full time. With student loans racking up, this scholarship couldn’t have come at a more useful time. Thank you so much, ScholarshipPoints!”

ScholarshipPoints and the Student Loan Network are more than happy to help Jonathan along with his educational goals.  So everyone, wish him some congrats!
