If you heard about a stock that was going to have returns of more than 10,000% in the next year, would you buy it? Of course! If you’re looking for a maximum return on your investment in a scholarship guide, this is the book you’ve been looking for! If you follow the recommendations and tips in this guide and use the colossal amount of scholarship information presented in the material, your chances of winning scholarship money are greatly improved. I personally was offered more than $100,000 in scholarships (free money!) from those sources listed in the book. Beside this, the tips on writing winning essays, making a résumé, and have a successful search will not only help you on scholarships and admissions essays, but also on jobs and funding in the future. This is a through and complete reference of everything you need in the quest for scholarships.

Not only does this book have tons of typos but many of the resources listed seem to no longer exist or will lead you on a wild goose chase if they do exist. The supposed help on how to write essays and resumes states the obvious. For example, they explain that your applications should be free of dirt and stains and should be typed. If you don’t already know that, good luck in college.
This book claims to help non-traditional students. Of all the resources that might apply to me as a non-traditional student, I have found none worth pursuing. Either you have to pay a fee to apply for the scholarships and contests or you have to spend a fortune mailing requests for further information. I tried saving money by looking for information on the internet but ended up wasting more time than it was worth. It would be much easier to get a job and pay for your own school than spend the time and effort it takes to have a slim chance at winning a scholarship or contest that pays only $100.

This book has a lot of information for someone headed to college. Don’t bother with it if you are planning on a course of graduate study.

If I could give this book zero stars, I would have. There is nothing in this book for non traditional students.

When I first got this book I was a bit overwhelmed by how much information it contained. Then when I started going through it, I found the instructions easy-to-follow and crossed referenced to samples and charts in the appendices. When I got a letter returned with no forwarding address, all I had to do was contact the authors through their Website … and the new address was supplied. There are so many scholarship and internship opportunities listed, the only way not to find appropriate scholarships to apply for means either the student used this book for a doorstop or just wanted to open the book and find money inside. This book was so helpful, I can’t wait for their new book to be released.
