Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This directory of undergraduate scholarships and loans has four main parts: programs listed by state; listings by field of study; aid for women, ethnic groups, and the handicapped; and awards limited to fraternal orders, unions, etc., as well as grants with no special restrictions. Entries include eligibility requirements, application information, and the nature of awards. Although a program may be listed more than once, it is quite difficult to locate specific sources of aid because there is no index, and the table of contents is skimpy. Additionally, this work is less comprehensive than standard tools like the Annual Register of Grant Support, 1990 (National Register Pub. Co., 1989). Not recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Free money for college, November 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Free Money for College: A Guide to More Than 1,000 Grants and Scholarships for Undergraduate Study (Paperback)

Even though this book has a high rating, the book is only good for a starting a fire. I was unable to many grants for college that did not have some sort of requirements.
