Summary: this book is a time-sucker
Comment: This book would have been much better as a pay-to-search web site, or a searchable CD-ROM. Here's how to book is set up: half is by subject you will be studying, and half is by other criteria, such as ethnic background, religious affiliation, state of residence, etc. Since I have a major that doesn't translate exactly to a subject area, I had to wade through most of the first half of the book. Also I've been wading through most of the second half of the book as well. This book is nearly 800 pages, and I'm on page 600, and I've located MAYBE seven scholarships for which to apply. The biggest problem is that I'm going into a grad program, and a great many of these scholarships don't cover me. Another problem is that I'm not a minority, a third is that I have no military affiliation and a fourth is that many of the scholarships NOT in the state-specific category are indeed state-specific, or worse.
This seems even more problematic than it sounds. For example, I would find scholarships for the subject I will be studying, BUT wouldn't qualify because of ethnic, residence, or military reasons. ugh!
Had this book been an online database or something, I'd have vastly cut my search time. I'd check off grad school, non-minority, non-military and specified my state of residence, and I would have had a mere fraction of potential scholarships to sift through.
On the flip side, this book does have a few scholarships that the free online search engines didn't have, so it's not entirely worthless.
Probably five stars if you are an undergraduate minority, though.

Summary: From A Teacher
Comment: I recommed that you read this book to get the full sweep of freebees, and be sure you also check out West Point (which is the best kept secret in full scholarship educations where you also legally get paid) by reading "West Point: Character Leadership Education: Thomas Jefferson" by Norman Thomas Remick and, essentially, by Thomas Jefferson, one of the greatest educational philosophers the world has ever known.
