What is one danger of using the Internet to search for scholarship money?

You have to be really careful about giving out personal information to sites that you aren't familiar with because you never really know who is legitimate and who isn't.  Plus, when you apply for some online they will send you so much junk mail both email wise and snail-mail wise that half the time you really wish you never applied or entered in for it in the first place.  From experience.. just a few tips.

resarch? Anyway, I believe the library has more reliable information available in one spot to seek out while online research will put you in touch with all types of unrelated marketing pitches and there are sites offering you all kinds of information if you pay their subscription fees. It's getting to seem that the Internet's sole purpose is to get everybody to pay more and more money for everything and have no consideration for those who are using it to just "look around". The library is usually free and you interact with real live people who can help you out. In a well stocked library, you should be able to find anything that is also available in academic journals including the academic journals!

It's a scholarship in the sense that the financial aid office of your school will treat it as such, and you will not get any other money out of them.  But if it is more than needed for essentials, such as tuition, books, rent, food, laundry, etc., then some of it can be used for entertainment, etc.  Just don't run out before the end of the semester.

Internet sites usually  make you pay for that info. USSearch for example. But their search engines are good. You don't pay unless the info they find on the person is the one you are looking for.

Nothing is free on the Internet.  There is a catch, they are trying to get your information.  Also, if you can get something, they usually charge you more than the item is worth to ship it.

You could get a pell grant to pay for college classes that you take over the internet as long as the college is legitimate.  You can easily check to see if the online college is real by searching for them online at the FAFSA website.  Go to this website and see if you can locate the school you are thinking of attending.\n\nhttp://www.fafsa.ed.gov/fotw0607/fslookup.htm\n\nIf you search and locate the school then everything is alright.  You should fill out a FAFSA application for free student aid from the government.  On the application they will ask you which colleges you are thinking about attending so make sure to list the online college as one of your choices.  If you search and are unable to locate the school then I would contact them for their federal school code.  If they don't have one, they are not a legitimate college and you should consider attending school elsewhere.

I teach college English, and I require my students (on at least one essay) to find at least one non-internet source. I'm guilty of going to the internet for everything, too, so I know how easy it is to sit in front of the computer and get it all done in one place. \n\nAt the same time, some libraries have fantastic resources, and the perfect one for your essay may be sitting on the shelf, just waiting to be checked out. \n\nBut yes, I know most people rely on the internet to conduct research, as well as keep in contact with friends, get the news, etc.

Yes...  It's typically self-correcting.  If false information is put out on it someone will correct it and the internet as a whole will generally eliminate it from a source by not linking to the content therefore lowering search results.  Just a vicious circle of information.  For the most part reliable.

No, they don't do checks but the organizations giving the scholarship usually have you verify the school you list.  Most scholarship $$ go directly to the school.

No. The probelm is always going to be that you can't verify your working status and that is a basic requirment of any lender.  No search engine can hel pyou with that!

Downloading from anywhere is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Even using a web browser is included because it downloads every page you view.

Rob Noha begged for money for college on Usenet back in 1988, years before the web existed. It was a small-time post that did not reach very many people, but sparked a very long debate about what should or shouldn't be allowed on the net.

I have been with fastweb.com since I graduated high school in 2001...it has a lot more than just scholarship information...it help me pick what course to take if i want them to transfer and help me compare schools easily...its great...you can personalize it so that it sends you new scholarships that are geared towards you...like religion, minority status if your male or female...definitely try it!
