Is Scholarship America trustworthy?

Is Scholarship America a scam or legitimate?

Not a scam. I work as a scholarship processor at a public university, and Scholarship America is one of the bigger organizations we deal with. We usually get 10-20 checks from them every year. They don’t run their own scholarships but manage funds for donors.

They are definitely not a scam. I’ve won several scholarships through them over the past 4 years. In fact, I received a $5,000 scholarship check from them just last week.

Did they send the money directly to you or to your school?

@Bailey
It depends on the scholarship. I’ve had some checks sent directly to my school and others sent to me personally.

Was the Scholarship America one sent to you directly?

@Bailey
I’ve received multiple scholarships through Scholarship America, and it varies. Some were sent directly to me, and others went to the school.

Oh, I see. Thanks for clarifying. Are the smaller scholarships usually sent directly to you?

@Bailey
The largest one I’ve had sent directly to me was $5,000, which I received last week.
