How to Avoid Scholarship Scams

Part 2, which will come out later this week, are “Scholarships to Aspire Toward to Help Pay for College”: scholarships for Middle Tennessee students that they can start preparing for. This handout will contain scholarships that you can apply for in your senior year of high school. Also, college students can also apply for these scholarships.

Also included in the handout will be an updated list of “Resources,” people who have successfully created a process where they received more than $85,000 in scholarship money.
