This front for a means to scam low income families out of money in a supposed
promise of free college money, is a fraud. The fine print on the contract
states they are _not_ going to hunt down scholarship money.

Invitations are sent to low income A students. You then have to travel a great
distance to reach the interview sight. Maybe have to pay for parking. Listen
to a high powered lecture on how you are not smart enough to fill out the
standard government forms fast enough to receive needed grant/ scholarship
money. Then comes the private interview where you are hard sell asked to drop
$1500 on them for this (non) service. Of course if you sign up that day there
is a $500 discount and if your child can find ten more suckers to buy into the
program, then your finial cost is only $99. They claim it is all free, but you
still loose the $99 down payment.

I figure each State has some sort of program that you can use to find these
moneys on your own. You just need to spend the time and make use of the free
available resources. If Edifi wants $1500 for their 'service', then the hours
you spend doing this yourself are fairly valuable.

Be wary.
