Cyndi inquired how to enter the Mom Scholarship contest, what are the requirements to win, and is the contest Mom Scholarship contest really legitimate. The person who answered the phone had a heavy accent, and claimed to be from India. American employees or officials were not immediately available.

$10,000 Mom Scholarships are Really a Drawing or Lottery

When seeking a trademark registration from U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, National Academy of American Scholars was required to demonstrate that it sponsored and/or awarded legitimate scholarships, grants, and financial-aid. Since our scholarships require academic merit, we met one of several tests. ScholarshipPoints.Com, another lottery-style scholarship operator failed in a bid to secure a trademark because its so-called scholarships are not really scholarships per the legal definition.

The Federal Trade Commission must initiate a rule that prohibits lottery-style operators of drawings from deceptively labeling their contests as scholarships when in fact very little scholarship effort is being applied to win the award.
