Is Outstanding Students of America a scam?

Paying for College

<p>Hey, I've been looking for scholarships on fastweb.com and Outstanding Students of America came up. The permise sounds a lit like Who's Who with the whole get your name in a book thing, but the site says they do offer a 1000 dollar scholarship. Has anyone ever heard of someone legitimately getting this? Do you think it comes down to a point where you're only a finialist if you agree to buy their book? Thanks for any information.</p>
