Please note: Scholarship Telemarketing Fraud Scheme!
The Office of Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Education has become aware of a potential fraud scheme
involving persons claiming to represent the U.S. Department of Education who are calling students and offering them
scholarships or grants. These callers request a bank or credit card account number saying the information will be
used to charge a $249 processing fee. The Department of Education does not charge a processing fee to obtain
federal education grants. DO NOT give your financial information to individuals making these claims! If you receive
one of these calls, please contact the Office of Inspector General immediately. If you have provided bank or credit
card information to the callers, you should take the following steps:
• Immediately contact your bank, explain the situation, and request that the bank monitor or close the
compromised account.
• Notify the police about the incident; impersonating a federal officer, telemarketing fraud schemes, and
identity theft are crimes.
• Report the fraud to the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Inspector General hotline at 1-800-MIS-
USED (1-800-647-8733) or oig.hotline@ed.gov. Special agents in the Office of Inspector General investigate
fraud involving federal education dollars.
• Contact the Federal Trade Commission at 1-877-FTC-HELP or http://www.ftc.gov/scholarshipscams

Scholarship providers normally reserve the right to make any changes in their stated procedures and guidelines, and
to discontinue any award. Furthermore, you must rely on the primary source of the organization’s announcement
kept on file at Student Affairs, the library or the organization’s website. The Office of Student Affairs is not
