So i've been looking for scholarships and Grants for school but in addition to finding sites like collegegrantstoday.com I also find sites that say almost every grant offer is a scam... can anyone help with this? or even look at the site above to let me know if they think it looks like a scam. Thanks so much

Not really. It just says it'll be like 4 bucks to ship me something and thats it. My friend got ripped off for like 100 bucks before so i'm just just a skeptic now ha ha

No-one does anything for nothing. esp. if it ends with .com. $4.00 probably just opens the door to them and you'll be on the hook or pressured into something else. My advice is to ask the college(s) you are interested in about this site and others, and abotu what's available from them. Something smells fishy here.

If you even have to pay for anything, even for a book with information- most likely it's a scam. There are companies that prowl on the fact that students are desperate looking for ways to pay for college and will do almost anything for even a penny of the profit.
If they ask for credit card information, SSN, money, or bank information- don't fall for it and let them scam you. They don't need that information.
