Be cautious of businesses that offer to find scholarships for a fee. These companies often claim they can locate multiple scholarships you qualify for or help you secure a better financial aid package than you could on your own.
Las Positas College strongly discourages paying for these services. Students can access the same scholarship databases and financial aid resources for free online. Additionally, our Financial Aid Office provides free guidance on finding and applying for scholarships.
Avoid Scholarship Scams
Before paying for any scholarship search service, consider the following:
- Legitimate scholarships never require payment to apply.
- Be wary of guarantees such as “You’re guaranteed to win!” or “We do all the work for you.”
- Do not share personal or financial information with unverified sources.
- Research any company offering scholarship services—check for complaints or scam alerts.
These programs provide financial assistance for eligible students in California:
