Sound too good to be true? It probably is! As students enter their final years of HS, they will begin receiving lots of "spam" mail about their future...often in an attempt to have students/parents pay for an honor society or a scholarship search.
Your student should never have to PAY to be in an honor organization in high school or to be entered into a scholarship search. EducationQuest is FREE & all students should already have accounts to search colleges and scholarships. DPS also shares all known scholarships with our students.
If you have questions regarding this, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
