I sent them a money order and the paper that was also in the envelope a couple weeks ago. I have not recieved any information from them since then. I started to get suspicious and went online to look up the company to see if there was a way to track the information, and there is no webiste. I came across information that this company is a scam and also have "scholarship programs" for engineering and nursing. Other people had recieved photocopied scholarship applications that were expired. I have not recieved any information. I called the provided number on the letter (202-508-1485) and spoke to a woman. I told her that I had sent in money and my information a couple weeks ago and that I had tried to look their company up on the internet and that the only information about the company said that it was a scam. When I asked her if the business was a scam she said that I would have to leave a message and be called back tomorrow because their business office was closed. So I asked her again if their company was a scam and she said that it was a legitimate company. I then asked her for a web address and she gave me a web address that does not exist. The address she gave me was www.scholarships.us. When I tried to go to this address it came up as scholarships.com, but not a website for the business. This company is a SCAM!
