Beware of Scholarship Scams about Online Law
Degrees
Don't get carried away by reading tall claims on a website about
scholarship for an online law degree. Get enough information about the
online law degree scholarship before taking the plunge. Students and
parents are advised to review and reconsider the claims made on the
websites.
Lets have a look at typical claims these sites can make:
Scam 1 - Money Back Guarantee for an Online Law Degree
Who can guarantee a scholarship? Know for a fact that they just
want your credit card details. Never reveal your credit card
information to such crooks. They say 'This scholarship will cost you
some money'. Raise your eyebrows and ask 'Why'?
Scam 2 – Privileged Information about an Online Law Degree
Scholarship
Crooks will claim - 'You can't get this information elsewhere.'
That is not true. Thanks to online libraries and career service
centers you can get plenty of information about an online law degree
scholarship.
Scam 3 – Instant Online Law Degree Scholarship
'We will do all the work' they claim - why should they do this
favor for you so that you can get an online law degree? 'Get your
online law degree in weeks' – why would the rest of us spend years for
an online law degree if we could all instantly get a valid online law
degree in weeks?
Scam 4 - Finalist for an Online Law Degree Scholarship
Often you will get a flash message on your browser 'You are a
finalist' or 'You have been selected for an online law degree
scholarship.' That's news! If you didn't participate in a contest, how
come you are a finalist for an online law degree scholarship? Sounds
interesting, doesn't it?
Research an Online Law Degree Scholarship
Don't feel on top of the world when you are offered a scholarship
for an online law degree. Do some basic research to assess the
authenticity of the foundation or program which 'guarantees' a
scholarship for an online law degree.
FinAid recommends that students be cautious of the financial aid
seminars that guarantee success and eventually take you for a ride.
It pays to keep your eyes wide open before taking the plunge for an
online law degree. Don't become a statistic by being defrauded by a
scholarship scam in pursuit of an online law degree.
