Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, this book offers young athletes, from divers to gymnasts to alpine skiers, the latest information on finding ways to finance a college education. Each listing provides contact information, the number of grants awarded, the amount of aid available, and the sports being offered. Also, a state-by-state directory lists every four-year and two-year college that offers athletic scholarship money for a wide range of sports, including skiing, baseball, basketball, bowling, crew, football, lacrosse, volleyball, soccer, and more.

Don't waste your money. This book is outdated. It is merely 300 pages of college listings. Everything in the book can be found on the net for FREE

This review is from: Athletic Scholarships: Thousands of Grants& #151; And Over $400 Million& #151; For College-Bound Athletes Fourth Edition (Hardcover)

I'm a sophomore in a community college and I read this book to help me get into a good 4 year college next year. I play a sport and I found this book to be the best one I have read so far! Not only does this help with the recruiting process, but it has $400M worth of Athletic Scholarships! I highly recommend this for any high schooler looking to play sports in college and for students wishing to transfer and participate in athletics.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the title, February 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Athletic Scholarships: Thousands of Grants--And Over $400 Million--For College-Bound Athletes (Paperback)

The title of this book would lead one to believe that there was actual information on scholarships in this book. The reality is that this book is not much more than an alphabetical listing of schools and their sports. The high school counselor's office has this info for free. I found this book to be useless and feel cheated having bought it. It is so general (and I use the term loosely) and simplistic, it's almost laughable. If I could return it I would. IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.
