Most Valuable Student Scholarship
Program, which awards more than 1,500
scholarships. 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

of funny that the guy mentioned that at

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

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

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.

Graduation
application
due Jan. 31
DANA T1SHGARTEN Staff Writer
Seniors planning to graduate in
May must turn in their applications
by Friday.
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.
