ALERT It was brought to attention recently that someone claiming to be a rep resentative of the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is calling students, offering them grants, and asking for their bank account numbers so a processing fee can be charged. Specifically, the caller tells the student he understands the student has federal student loans and offers to replace the loans with an $8,000 grant. The caller explains that a processing fee must be charged and obtains the student's checking account information. We want to remind students that there is no ED program to replace loans with grants and that there is no processing fee to obtain Title P grants from ED. Furthermore, students should never provide their Bank account or credit card information over the phone unless they initiated the call and trust the company they are calling.
