As an alert to anyone that may have received an email regarding
scholarship opportunity from this organization. I checked them out last
night and though there is no Application Fee to apply for the
'scholarship' there is the following instructions on their application:

Send $5 (cash only to help defray mail handling, document shredding and
product costs) to our scholarship administration PO Box only.

The saying "let the buyer BEWARE" is very applicable in this case. It is
also applicable to any organization, agency, company, that says cash
only is accepted and the transaction is through the internet. There is
no way to track cash and by no means should a legitimate scholarship
program or any program for any consumer product for that matter ever
make a request to send cash for any purpose.
