subject: Mothers Applying for Grants for Single Mothers - Beware Of Scams! [print this page] For many single mothers wanting to complete their college education but do not have the financial means with which to do so, there are various grants for single mothers available now that they can easily qualify for. Unfortunately, there are some people who will prey on single mothers because they know they are trying desperately to complete their education and make a better life for themselves.
There are a number of signs to look out for to easily spot a scam. Firstly you should be aware of those that ask for money. A grant or scholarship is given out for free to a person with no strings attached. Anything that requires money is a scam. And also there should be no repayment terms attached to it.
Take care also never to give anyone your credit card details. Amy site that asks for your credit card information on the pretense that they can reserve a scholarship for you is a scam. The scammer will abuse this information for their personal gain.
The only way to become eligible for a scholarship is if a mother completes a Free Application for Federal Student form, commonly referred to as the FAFSA. If she is approached by a company without having completed this process, it could be a scam.
Take note of the terms and conditions on a site. Some people may be fooled into believing that the money for scholarships is largely from unclaimed money. The truth is that legitimate scholarships are funded on a regular basis by private organizations and colleges. A certain amount of money each year is allocated for these scholarships and grants.
The scholarship and grants for single mothers program has been inspired by the US government who is striving to help all American women over the age of 18 complete their college education and get a degree.
