1.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction, Outdated Scholarship Information, February 14, 2003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 the information in this book is outdated from 1998-99. The listings include had outdated contact information and has sports that have long ago been dropped from intercollegiate competition to "club" status.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 This book is outdated terribly and misleads readers about what sports programs are at which schools and where the scholarship monies are currently.

2.0 out of 5 stars Free Information!, February 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Peterson's Sports Scholarships & College Athletic Programs (3rd ed) (Paperback)

This type of scholarship book is Free for everyone at your local library! The 800 or more pages is mostly a listing of colleges addresses and phone numbers. All high school counselors will have a book similar to this in their office. Its good information to have, but you can get it for free!
