Compact reference guides to college scholarships and other awards for minority students At a time when decreased personal savings, shrinking college endowments, a weak economy, and a host of other factors are contributing to rising college costs, students are encouraged to take advantage of every opportunity they can find to pay for their education. Each of these 3 new guides brings together --in one compact convenient source--detailed profiles of scholarships, grants, prizes, forgivable loans, and fellowships for African American, Asian American, and Hispanic students. And each boasts a style and format suitable for every student and parent, from families with first-time college students to experienced parents who've already been through the process. Features

MISLEADING,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GetMoneyColl:Scholarships AsianAmer 1E (Peterson's Scholarships for Asian-American Students) (Paperback)
I was VERY disappointed with this book, and found it to be just a marketing spin with the cover and title. I bought a couple of other general scholarship books, and this book was just more of the same. If you are looking for tips relating specifically to Asian-Americans, this is NOT the book for you.

Total waste of time,
This review is from: GetMoneyColl:Scholarships AsianAmer 1E (Peterson's Scholarships for Asian-American Students) (Paperback)
Nice to look through but that is about it. It may help someone. Who knows? Had a lot of information but not much relevance.

You get what you bought,
This review is from: GetMoneyColl:Scholarships AsianAmer 1E (Peterson's Scholarships for Asian-American Students) (Paperback)
The information provided in the book is accurate, although readers need to be aware that updates are always made and some scholarships may no longer exist. The sad part is that a student or someone looking out for their academic opportunities had to take the trouble to PURCHASE a source of information just to find opportunities for a better education, instead of having it given to them. There is something wrong with this picture.
