1.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction, Outdated Scholarship Information, February 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Sports Schlrshps & Coll Athl Prgs 2000 (Peterson's Sports Scholarships and College Athletic Programs) (Paperback)

This guide has great introductory information for athletes who are not NCAA Division I/II scholarship material, but could easily win scholarships at the Division III or NAIA schools. But, don't let the book's publication date fool you... the information in this book is outdated from 1998-99. The listings include had outdated contact information and has sports that have long ago been dropped from intercollegiate competition to "club" status. With the changes in the college sports scene brought on by the gender equity rules, the men's sports programs listed in this book include more sports than are actually at most colleges. Conversely, the women's sports programs listed here show fewer programs than are now available. This book is outdated terribly and misleads readers about what sports programs are at which schools and where the scholarship monies are currently.

3.0 out of 5 stars A "Howto" book without the "to"!, April 20, 2000

This review is from: Sports Schlrshps & Coll Athl Prgs 2000 (Peterson's Sports Scholarships and College Athletic Programs) (Paperback)

A very good uptodate book listing schools that give athletic scholarships for major and minor sports. This compilation is upto date and seemingly very complete. It is a invaluable tool for writing schools and inquiring about sport scholarships. HOWEVER, the schools do not have the addresses listed, only the name and city with a zipcode. This is highly disappointing. It tells you how but not to...lame. Would probably try a less complete book with the address of athletic department and just supplement the schools I could not find. A great resource tool made into mediocre.
