Beware of Financial Aid/Scholarship Scams
Posted on January 29, 2009 at 6:53:26 PM
- Don't pay a fee for financial aid or scholarship information!
- In one current scam students and parents receive a letter or email that appears to be from an official financial aid organization. This letter may include personal information about the student and may even name the UW-Madison, but it is from a business the UW-Madison does not endorse.
- For more information about financial aid and scholarship scams see the following from the the Federal Trade Commission.

Beginning with the 2010-2011 academic year, UW-Madison will join hundreds of other U.S. colleges and universities in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program.
This means all Federal Stafford and PLUS loans will disburse directly from the federal government. We will no longer use banks or credit unions to process Stafford or PLUS loans.
