Hi,
I wanted to share this email with you.  I received a couple of these this April/May.  When I looked into them, they had websites that seemed legit, but when I asked around, no one had heard of these scholarships.  I also shared with my principal as I felt bad about not passing on scholarship info, but really questioned some of the info the application required.  Now that Nick/Tony has emailed me a response to my inquiry about why he was reaching out to Skiatook, I am even more convinced that this is a scam/ way to get students' personal information.  Has anyone had any experience with them, are they legit?

Another similar email is copy/pasted here:

Yes, I keep receiving these also. Seems like a scam to me.

I am skeptical as well.   The law firm mentioned is legitimate and there is a scholarship for aspiring lawyers mentioned on their site.   This solicitation however is from a 3rd party guy with a free gmail account.     I was not comfortable forwarding the information.


I too have wondered about the legitimacy of some of the scholarship applications.....  I have not heard from these two specific entities....
