Avoiding Scholarship Scams

<p>Hey all, I applied for many of these “questionable” scholarship programs and even won a couple of them. As long as it is a free application, why not try it? Here is a great experience that I had with a relatively new company, EZCIR:</p>

<p>I applied for this scholarship in early spring of my senior year in high school. I thought that this scholarship was, once again, one of those lottery, draw-your-name-out-of-a-hat scholarships. However, upon winning, I received a personal phone call from EZCIR, to talk about my future college and career plans and how they could get the money to me. </p>

<p>Not only was it a genuine scholarship, but they were personal enough to call and check up on me, to see how I could use their money.</p>

<p>I have now been offered an internship through EZCIR. So what I once thought could be a “scholarship scam” has turned out to be one of the most lucrative applications that I have ever completed. </p>

<p>So go ahead, and apply for as many scholarships as you can, you never know what may happen.</p>
