Hey everyone, I got an unexpected email from Sallie Mae about a $2000 scholarship. Is it real or fake?

It sounds like you’ve stumbled upon a potentially exciting opportunity! The Sallie Mae $2000 scholarship is indeed a real program that they offer. It’s part of their sweepstakes which runs annually, with various deadlines throughout the year. The current deadline for application is April 30th, 2024, so if the email aligns with this information, it’s likely legitimate. However, it’s always good practice to verify by contacting Sallie Mae directly through their official contact channels to ensure the email you received is authentic. Remember, genuine scholarships should never ask for payment or sensitive personal information upfront.

@Amanda Why don’t you check Sallie Mae’s website instead of inquiring onUSA SCHOLARSHIP TALK? You would then have your response.

@Nigella Yes, since fraudulent websites always disclose their deceptive nature up front
