1.0 out of 5 stars BUYER BEWARE, April 28, 2001

This review is from: The Complete Scholarship Book: The Biggest, Easiest Guide for Getting the Most Money for College (Paperback)

Unless you want to spend useless hours searching through thousands upon thousands of scholarships, I would steer clear of buying this book. I bought this book thinking I would find some scholarship opportunities and just found myself fustrated and out of 25 bucks. The book is not organized well and all the scholarships have very strict criteria making it almost impossible to find a scholarship you match for. This book may be good for a school guidance office, but because of the disorganization it is probably useless for a student to sit in the office looking at thousands of scholarships they are not qualified for.

This book really helps you. It gives more opitions than just good grades and also tells you how to do it with good grades. I learned SAT scores can help as well. If you read this book I guarntee will get some type of scholarship, but if you don't know you looked in the right place because now I am so sure that will get some type now and then I did before. The reading is worth every minute.
