BEWARE OF SCHOLARSHIP SCAMS...
Yes, nefarious nogoodnicks are out there, preying on scholarship seekers.
The FinAid site warns: never give money to get a scholarship. It's a sure sign of a scam.

Scholarship Scams
The popular Scholarships.com site also warns of processing fees and small awards on their Scholarship Scams Page - advice from Scholarships.com. Another red flag is an email telling you that you have won an award when you didn't apply for it.
The Federal Trade Commission also has a good page to read so you don't get scammed. You can also report any suspicious scholarship sites or activities by scrolling down to their report links.
On the whole, I find that most scholarship sites are on the level, and won't scam you. But it pays to be careful.
Good luck in your scholarship search!
