i got this form from the Educational Assistance Council National Research and Processing Center and i want to know if it is fake or not?
it charges me 50 bucks with the applcation and says it i am fully eligible for the aid (scholorships, grants, and finincal aid)
also, the school is supposed to help me apply for finincial aid when i start my senior year in 2 months, right?

Do not send any money. Financial Aid is paid by the government in the form of loans or grants for free if you qualify, and individuals who sponsor scholarships will select you, and expect nothing in return, and most grants are not to be paid back. So basically people will pay you to go to college. Look into FAFSA the government website, and see about financial aid. don't know if school is supposed to help you, but don't depend on them.

You can apply for federal financial aid and scholarships for free. They are available at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/. Don't pay some company $50. You will get what your parents' income qualifies you for. My advice to you is to make sure that you communicate with your counselor. You will have to be proactive and put forth the effort to get scholarship applications and to make sure that they are completed and submitted on time. Good luck!

Fake-You should not have to pay for info for financial aid.
Have you filled out a FAFSA application for financial aid yet?
If the school you want to attend doesn't have or encourage you to fill out a FAFSA form before you attend, the school is not accredited and is just taking your money.
You should have had help with financial aid at your freshman year.

i wouldnt pay for anything. sounds like a scam.
i went through this two years ago and i never had to pay a cent for aid. save the paperwork and talk to your high school counselor. they can answer all of your questions and guide you in the right direction.

That program might be fake, but it also could be truthful. Do some research on that company. Ask your college if they know about it and ask them if you should trust them. Ask around to see if anyone has heard of this and has done it.

ANY PLACE THAT CHARGES YOU MONEY TO FIND MONEY IS A SCAM! GO TO FREE GOVERNMENT WEBSITES OR TO YOUR PROSEPECTIVE COLLEGE'S FINANCIAL AID WEBSITE.
