I love this book. The information is up to date and complete and you get everything you need in one place to apply for scholarships. What I don’t like about some of the other scholarship books is that they have scholarships that are only applicable if you attend a specific college. This book doesn’t waste space on those types of limiting scholarships. Instead it has scholarships that are open no matter which college you attend. I think it’s probably the best $20 you can spend to find scholarships you can win!

One of the biggest complaints about scholarship books is that you won’t find enough scholarships. It is true that not every scholarship in this book will be applicable to you, but there are several reasons why I think this is the best of the bunch. First, you WILL find many, many scholarships that fit you. It will take some time, but it’s definitely worth the effort and the way that this book is organized makes it as easy as it could be. Second, what this book has that others don’t is information on what to do once you find the scholarships–tips on how to win the awards. I highly recommend this book to any student who is looking for money to pay for school.

I bought this book to look for scholarships for my high school child who will be going to college. Well, come to realize after reading through and scanning all the scholarships offered, only a small percentage are for high school students trying to raise money for college. Out of the 2043 scholarships they offer in this book by categories such as: General, Humanities/Arts, Social Sciences, Sciences, State of Residence, Membership, Ethnicity and Disability, I could only find 73 scholarships that she “might” be eligible for. They are almost all for small amounts- $1,000 or less also. It is a lot of work, for very little reward. There are less than 5 scholarships that are over $10,000 and the competition is fierce. A very large majority of the scholarships offered in this book are for college students, grad students, and adult students. I liked the book because it gives me a good “starting point”, but I would say look for something geared more toward high school if that’s what you need.
