Important Reminders
⚠️ Beware of Scholarship Scams: Legitimate scholarships never require application fees. Be cautious of organizations asking for payment to apply or guarantee scholarships.

✅ Keep Applying: Don't get discouraged by rejections. Many successful students applied to dozens of scholarships before securing funding.
