Amazon.com Review

Written by students for students, this is more than a mere directory of potential funds. Getting that grant or fellowship can mean the difference between attending graduate school or not. It can make your career, or set you in the rut you hoped to avoid. And getting that grant or fellowship is not just a matter of being qualified: it's knowing what's out there to apply for (and to apply for more than one), planning ahead, gathering appropriate recommendations, writing a worthy personal statement, and preparing for the interview you need to ace. Toward that end, the Yale Daily News Guide offers personal accounts and advice from students who've successfully negotiated those difficult waters.

Fellowships and grants are listed by a number of topic headings, including "prestige" and "study abroad," those specifically for women or minorities, and by subject, from the arts and humanities to engineering, politics, business, and the sciences. For each, the guide tells the purpose of the fellowship or grant, the criteria used to award it, the financial-award amount, and whether there's a deadline. Some pursuits are as easy to accomplish by the seat of your pants as with diligent preparation, and others need serious time and planning. Applying for grants and fellowships needs serious time and planning. As successful students relate, the judges know the difference between the applicant who thinks it would be cool to hang out in a foreign place for a few months with cash in the bank and the one who has a valid quest and has done the preliminary research. In this venture, the better you prepare, the better your chances will be. --Stephanie Gold

5.0 out of 5 stars Is there anything this book cannot do?, May 17, 1999
By A Customer
As I initially thumbed through this book, I had the normal range of emotions that one would expect: dismay, shock, paranoia, dread, confusion, and bewilderment. As you may have guessed, I am a recent graduate from university, and those emotions are central to any recent grad who is attempting to cope with the reality of... reality. Dr. Mohamadi has provided me with a method to deal with my full range of emotions, and he has done so in fewer pages than the bible. Yes, I said the Bible. It is also a better read.

Though Dr. Mohamadi does seem to digress occasionally by discussing countries like Yemen, overall this is a solid first effort. If possible, I would have awarded this book with 6 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mohamadi Drops a "Fellowship Bomb" on Literary Community, April 29, 1999
By A Customer
This upstart author has seen his stock swell since his most recent book was released. Despite a poor Amazon.com sales ranking, Kaplan has decided to push Guide to Fellowships and Grants 1999 into a second round of publishing! Indeed, this text is pithy and pregnant with detailed information regarding fellowships and grants ranging in emphasis from Caribbean medican fellowships to research grants dealing with alternative lifestyle studies (a personal favorite!) I just can't get enough of Mr. Mohamadi, and I eagerly await his next thrust into the literary "back-door" of study AIDS. Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Exotic: A Must Read, March 20, 1999
By NS resident (United States) - See all my reviews
A thorough, methodical and painstaking look into the world of fellowiships. Any good library must contain this authoritative masterpiece. I look forward to future works by Mr. Mohamadi.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Read
I'd have to say that, in the fairly specific genre of Fellowship self-help books, Mohamadi's effort is one of the best I've read. Read more
