Have you gotten one of these letters in the mail? They give high praise for your stellar student, even if he or she does not have very good grades. Sound fishy? Well, it is and I do not recommend that parents or students pay to join these “honor societies”.
True and valid scholarship opportunities do not require students to pay to apply. The only money that should be involved in applying for college scholarships comes when mailing the envelopes to the organization offering the awards in the form of a regular postage stamp or extra postage for oversized or heavy envelopes.
The impressive envelope is hard for parents to ignore, as so many are desperate to find help for their students in the form of free money for college.
Parents and students need to resist the temptation of the seemingly easy way out and find and apply for scholarships that are legitimate opportunities for a student to impress the judges with grades, community service, leadership, and/or essay writing skills.
Do not waste your hard earned money and pay to apply for college scholarships!
