I would definitely NOT recommend this book. The material is very outdated ( copyright 1994, 1999). Some of the websites are not even in use anymore. It is obvious that when this book was written internet use was limited. I was hoping to find scholarship opportunites for my son, instead I found myself out $12.95 (purchase price).

Winning Scholarships for college was the most helpful book that I read this year in my conquer for seeking scholarships. It gave me an inside guide on how to achieve my goals as to where I want to be. This book helped me get 3 schools on my list. And now I will be attending NYU this fall. Thanks Marrianne Ragins.

I thought this book was average. Like many other students I plan to go to college, and some extra cash would be rather helpful! I have a pile of scholarship books, and I thought this book did provide some helpful tips to WINNING scholarships – rather than applying for them. Overall I would recommend this book to anybody looking for scholoarships – but I advise to look at all your choices first!

this book was very helpful in deciding how to go about applying for my scholarships. It shows the reader what information they need to know about applying for scholarships and how they can use that information.
