  • Student are required to sign up for a site or service to apply*

  • The scholarship website has many grammatical errors and/or advertisements
  • The scholarship or scholarship providing organization seem untrustworthy
  • There is no evidence the scholarship was previously awarded
  • The scholarship has not been awarded in the past 12 months
  • There is no available contact information

***Idea harvesting scholarships will require students to submit blog posts or other materials that companies may use for marketing purposes.
