In addition, services can have more than one database, and list sponsors in both databases, even though there may be a considerable amount of duplication. No Qualifications Needed; Although private foundations are required by federal law to give away 5 percent of their funds each year, this does not mean those funds are going to the least qualified candidate. Almost all legitimate scholarships are offered to students based on academic, athletic, or artistic merit. Bogus Guarantees; Some search services will guarantee a student will "receive" at least a certain number of scholarships or they will refund the fee. They are not guaranteeing a student will win a scholarship, but that their report will list a number of scholarships for which the student will be eligible. If a student receives information about a scholarship offer, he or she should be aware of the following tactics used bv scholarship scam artists, according to the Financial Aid Organization: Application Fees: An average scholarship offer can receive 5,000 to 6,000 responses. Fees for these scholarship SG candidacy forms due this week Students interested in running for an executive office or senate position must file their candidacy forms this week by Jan. 31.

"I thought it was ironic and kind of funny that the guy mentioned that at the end." Humor seemed to be the main reason most students liked the Super Bowl ads they saw. Freshman Steve Keller said his favorite ads were the Nissan ad featuring the targeting pigeons and the Budweiser spot featuring the innovative rat. "[The ads were] creative. They were pure entertainment," Keller said. "They made me laugh." Bob Dole demonstrated his good humor in an ad for the Visa CheckCard. The one-minute spot featured the former presidential candidate and Senate Majority Leader Dole going back to his hometown of Russell, Kan., in which everyone knows and calls him by his classify fraudulei can range from $5 to $179. Even at a low fee, this generates large sums of money for the organization offering the scholarship. In some cases, these scholarships will never be awarded. Low Interest Loans: This scam offers a low-interest educational loan, but the student must pay a fee before receiving the loan. Diey may require an application fee, or ask for an origination or insurance fee up front. If this loan is not issued by a bank, it is most likely a scam. Any local bank manager can probably verify its 1.1 i.: auinenuciiy. , Scholarship Prize: "Congratulations! You've just won a $10,000 scholarship!" Later on in the offer, it instructs the student to pay some money before they can receive their prize. Sometimes the offer will give reasonable excuses, like a "disbursement" fee, "redemption" fee, or tax regulations. Winning a scholarship should never cost a student one cent, and scholarship sponsors are not required to withhold taxes from their awards. Scholarship Search Services: They will offer a student so many scholarships or their money back. The problem is that refunds are quite difficult to qualify for, and if a student does qualify for the refund, it will be in the form of a U.S. Savings Bond, which is worth half its face value if cashed immediately. at International Programs for Students, Byrnes Building, Suite 123.

Although Friday is the university deadline, specific colleges have ' different requirements, according to Diane Sanderson of the Office the Registrar. Any graduating senior unsure of his or her college deadline should check with their dean. The application can be picked up on the third floor of Petigru. After meeting with the dean for advising, the form is either turned in by the dean as a group or by the student on the third floor of Petigru. Some students feel nervous with i the requirements. It's kind of like being X-rayed. You're presenting yourself and your academic record to be examined for flaws. Really nervewracking, especially if you're counting on fulfilling a bunch of requirements during your last semester," senior Catherine Mclntoch said. Last spring, 3,449 candidates applied for graduation. Sanderson said this number is an indicator of how many seniors are expected to apply for graduation this year. y"*u 1 ({?t|a i W .
