Do Something Scholarships or Do Some Theft: Are Do Something scholarships and grants Legit or Scam?

Do Something Scholarships talks a great game, and has a seemingly impressive roster of partners and supporters. However, Lance Armstrong also had the impressive backing of the United States Postal Service, and numerous other businesses and organizations before he was determined to be a fraud and using deceit to achieve fame and success. Therefore, we are not impressed with any of the cited partners and affiliates of the Do Something Scholarships. Oftentimes, the more name-dropping an organization does then it is all the more reason to become suspicious.

What we do know is certain facts about the Do Something Scholarships. Actions typically speak louder than words. We have re-posted the image of the hamburger posted on te facebook account of the Do Something Scholarships to illustrate the simple principal that consumers should never blindly believe the marketing hype of any organization that contradicts their own self-serving statements. Should students be praised for helping humanity or should students use grant money to learn how to deceive American ratail establishements?

The Do Something message is extremely confusing, contradictory, and yet very carefully scripted. On one hand, Do Something Scholarshps present the appearance of encouraging youth to do good to satify their legal requirements of a non-profit, but at the same time Do Something Scholarships implictly or expressly encourages youth to swear, and even engage in theft of services. An attorney sits on their board and apparently provides advice. Attorneys are professionals that are educated to mask the truth and present a lie as a fact. Let's be honest. If you are conducting your business affairs legitimately, then there is very little incentive to retain a professional whose income is generated by twisting a non-truth into a truth, and using the judicial process for legal certification of a falsehood.
