I got the Adam's Scholarship, how do I actually make sure I'm getting it for when i start college this fall?

Question

I received the John and Abigail Adams Scholarship. it was just a letter saying i got it due to MCAS scores, but i never actually did anything to apply for it? does this mean im not getting it? how do i apply for it?

Answer 1

If you needed to do anything, it should have been outlined in the letter that was sent to you.  If the letter does not ask you to do anything, then take it to the Financial Aid Office at the school you are planning to attend and ask them how you will receive the money.

If the letter asks you to send money to them, then it is a scam.  Real scholarships do not cost money to apply for.
