Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has recently signed a law raising the tuition for state universities by as much as 15% and will increase tuition every year until the tuition for Florida universities matches the national average. With tuition bills skyrocketing, and room and board going through the roof, students and their families are looking for creative ways to finance a college education. Unfortunately, in their efforts to pay the bills, many of them are falling prey to scholarship and financial aid scams.
