I bought this book to help me aid my entry back into school at the ripe old age of 30. I figured, "Great! Peterson's is know for good guides, and I can use all the help I need". Unfortunately, The information contained in the book is readily available on a wide variety of websites for free, and if you are reading this, you obviously have access to the web! I would save your money on this one. Instead, use the money you would have spent on application fees, and surf the web.

I bought this used (thankfully I did not spend a lot on it) thinking it would provide a decent overview of graduate and undergrad scholarships...not so!! The undergrad and grad sections where the scholarships are listed are just about identical! Nothing is listed easily - for instance English scholarships are under Literature/Communications, for which there are only 3 listings. Don't buy it!!

I was looking for books that would help me find money for law school. This book was great! It gave some avenues that hadn't yet crossed my mind. I would say that if you want to go to school and still have money to eat, get this book (I wish I had it before I started undergrad).
