------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Important notice about Financial Aid Scam!! Please read the following from the Director of Financial Aid at Mission College. A student reported to me today that she received a telephone call on her cell phone from “GrantUniversity.Com.” The person calling identified himself as a financial aid representative and that he was trying to access further grant funds for her use while attending school (he did not specify that she was attending Mission College). This call was early morning and woke the student out of a sound sleep. Because she had applied for financial aid and because she was still groggy from being awakened, she answered some personal identification questions that she should not have. The caller was also able to provide some information about her that, while not secure, she felt was secure enough and information she thought was only available to Mission College. The caller requested and was given access information to the student’s bank account on the pretext that additional grant funds would be directly delivered to her account. After ending the call, the student realized that she should not have given the information that she did and called me directly. Because of this call and her release of personal identification and banking information to the caller, she has since called her bank and closed her account. She realized she did the wrong thing by releasing information and she asked that I put out a warning to students about this type of call. Please let students know :
· This type of call is NOT authorized nor contact information

Financial Aid Financial aid is money for college. It is provided by the United State taxpayers to ensure that everyone who wants a college education has the financial ability to pay for their college expenses.
Financial aid is also a partnership between you - the student - and the college that provides money to help pay college costs. If you receive financial aid, it is expected that you will enroll in courses needed to complete your chosen program, work hard at learning, and move responsibly toward successful completion of your educational goal.
- Brenda Jerez, Director, Diablo Valley College Financial Aid
WE RECOMMEND THAT ALL STUDENTS COMPLETE THE FAFSA APPLICATION - YOU COULD BE ENTITLED TO MORE MONEY!!!
