Is Edifi a scam?

Okay, a couple of days ago, I got an invitation to a seminar about a financial aid program called Edifi. My initial thoughts were that it was something like OHLAP, so we went to the seminar today. They claimed that they are one of the most legit programs in the United States and that they can help to get their members into college for free. One problem: they ask for a $1,095 payment for their services, $99 of it being a down payment. My mom decided not to pay it today, but she has until Friday to pay it to get me in. I researched the program, and found a few sites saying that it is a scam...has anyone else heard of it and know whether it is a scam or not? I would hate for my mom to spend $1,100 dollars on me for it to turn out to be a scam...

They are considered a scam or crooked by the majority of all internet blogs and online reports.

Even the BBB ( better business bureau) has a alert and a warning issued on them

In general all they do is help you fill out forms that are free for you to fill out for yourself, They do nothing more than your school counselor would give you the same forms, and your parents would fill out by thierself. And not as much as what the college fincial aid people also can help you with.

So your mom made a great choice, there is no free college, there are some grants and help, but a student loan is also not free money.

so they are better off using that 1095 to help pay for your college.

Is it really a scam? I thought it would pay my college? Report It

If it is a scam is there no way to get your money back? Report It
