2.0 out of 5 stars
G. Green,
This review is from: Scholarships 101: The Real-World Guide to Getting Cash for College (Paperback)
Although I thought the book had ideas on the basics, it failed to deliver the actual resources/websites, etc. needed. FastWeb as she recommends is like finding the needle (Scholarship) in the haystack. She indicates she founded Wisconsin's first online scholarship database but shared no specifics of this info. Sorry I purchased the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Scholarships 101,
This review is from: Scholarships 101: The Real-World Guide to Getting Cash for College (Paperback)
WOW! With humor, respect and encouragement, this workbook gives students a step-by-step guide to "winning" scholarships. Ms. Stezala unveils how scholarship committees select winners and shares scholarship success stories. A must have for every high school student!
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Scholarships 101: The Real-World Guide to Getting Cash for College (Paperback)
This book is a comprehensive guide and is the perfect book for anyone who has no clue on how to get started in the scholarship search. She gives incredible scenarios, hot tips, and refrig notes! There are numerous helpful websites listed and a wonderful glossary of terms. This is a must read for every student and parent who is navigating the scholarship universe! Go to Kim's website http://scholarshipstreet.com/ for additional information. It's very helpful!
