Please DO NOT send Money to any Scholarship provider

I was recently notified of a scholarship program in Nigeria that is currently sending SMS to applicants for it's coming scholarship test. I did notice the scholarship program does not have a website. But considering that there are a lot of local companies without a website, and how often some local scholarships are only announced online after the winners have been selected, I decided not to judge their legitimacy based on unavailable online presence. It was for that reason I shared the scholarship information here on AfterSchoolAfrica after it was submitted by a regular reader, who claimed the scholarship program was advertised in his school.

Did you apply for Jet Petrochemical scholarship for undergraduate students?
So far, I've been contacted by one student who received an SMS invitation from the above mentioned scholarship provider. I've also noticed incoming searches from search engines on information about the above company online. I'm not trying to draw a line on the legitimacy of the above company, however for a company that wouldn't disclose it's contact details (office or email address) at the stage of short listing candidates, suspicions are bound to arise.
On that note, until the above mentioned scholarship provider discloses it full, verifiable contact address, please do not send any more personal details. If you are asked to make any form of payment, do not oblige. Legitimate scholarship providers do not request money before awarding scholarships. AfterSchoolAfrica does not have any form of affiliation with the scholarship programmes mentioned on this site.

Please take note. I apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused those affected.
Best of luck in your life pursuits.
