 Excellent Presentation, 2008-07-06
The author presents excellent sources of scholastic
financing and scholarships including:
o Mensa Education and Research provides scholarship money
in response to a successful 550 word essay.
o The AFT provides from $1000 to $8000 (dependents) for
students bound for study in education, labor and related
areas.
o The American Institute for Foreign Study provides money
up to $2000 per semester.
o American Legion provides scholarship money, as well as
the USA Coastguard and American Radio Relay.
o The Broadcast Education Association provides up to $5000.
o The Society of Petroleum Engineers provides up to $5000.
The list goes on- ad infinitum for at least 800 pages or so.
The book could be very useful in locating scholarship money
for the student in your house. A CD ROM accompanies the book.

So thorough!, 2007-07-30
My daughter and I used this book when she was looking for college scholarships last fall and it was so helpful. The entries are very well organized, and there's really something here for everyone. My daughter's grades weren't always the best, but there are a ton of great scholarships in here that don't discriminate against that.

 The Scholarship Book 12th Edition: the Most Complete Waste of Space Yet, 2007-02-21
I have had the "privilege" of looking through many a worthless scholarship tome, and had come to believe that there probably wasn't actually a decent one out there. However, I decided to give this book (which I had not heard of) a try. It promised much, but did not deliver. It is simply par for the ponderous course, which isn't that great seeing that most other comparable books set the bar pretty low.
I did take the liberty of giving it one star, however, because, while it is not easy to find scholarships as described (they are listed basically by career interest) and the CD-ROM is essentially the book (this time on your computer screen!), it is exhaustive (both figuratively and literally) nonetheless. It also makes a fairly effective doorstop.
