NATIONAL PRESTIGIOUS HONOUR SOCEITY OF OUTSTANDING SCHOLARS

Dear Reader,

Congratulations! 

Based on your extraordinary academic achievements, you have been selected for this amazing, one time only opportunity. Don't worry, even if your GPA is 2.8 we consider you eligible. We only use the phrase “extraordinary academic achievement” to make you feel ultra special. 

To make it easier for us to take your money, we are going to flatter you some more. You should know we select only the best students from across the world and that your hard work has earned you this invitation to our organisation. 
Now that we have dulled your wits with praise, we will proceed to shower you with offers that definitely do not sound too good to be true. We absolutely guarantee that you have won a scholarship of $10000.00. All you have to do is pay a “disbursement” or “redemption” fee in order to claim it. While you are at it, why not give us your parent's credit card number too? See, we know that applying to legitimate scholarships is irritating work. So in order to win our scholarships, you do not even have to apply to us! But beware, the offer expires within a month. Because our scholarships are not merit based – they are first come, first served.  

Unfortunately for us, nowadays most people are wise to the aforementioned scam. So we came up with a smarter way to help your wallet lose weight. We established an overtly legitimate sounding non-profit organisation, complete with a fancy logo and website, to aid meritorious students attend their desired colleges. For a sum of money we will claim is small, we will let you become a LIFETIME member of our organisation. Membership will allow you to apply to our exclusive scholarships, attend exclusive education fairs and obtain an exclusive certificate. You will also be able to access our online store where you can purchase the overpriced NPHSOS t-shirt and other exclusive merchandise.

The best part is we do occasionally give out scholarships! We earn almost a million dollars every year from naive parents. From that we give out a few $1000 scholarships or sometimes, if we're feeling generous, even $5000 scholarships to the students who write the best testimonials for us. 

“I am forever grateful to NPHSOS for setting me up with the scholarship that helped me attend my dream college.” 
– Hank Kimberly, Havard University, Class of 2015.

On our website where we have a huge list of scholarships that, we claim, you can only access by becoming a member of NPHSOS. What we do not tell you is that you can apply to most of these scholarships for free. We actually created our list using free scholarship resources like InternationalScholarships.com, IEFA.org, fastweb.com and scholarshipexperts.com.

As an added bonus, when you apply to colleges, you can list membership of NPHSOS as one of your noteworthy achievements. Although, you might not able to apply to many colleges because we have already taken five college application fees worth of money from you; funny thing is, if your academic and extracurricular record is truly impressive the colleges you are applying to will give you scholarships and financial aid anyway. 

Nevertheless, we look forward to taking your money. 

Sincerely, 

Maliyat Aniqa Noor
Scholarship Director, NPHSOS
