I bought this to try to find something to help us send my son to Georgia Tech for Architecture. Out of all the sections I looked at, (which included Retired Navy, Resident of Georgia, Boy Scouts of America, Religious Affiliation and Architecture) I found ONE listing that even came close to what we’re looking for. I would have been better to have been a gay, blind, black woman, from New York, looking for a career in journalism. I’d have found THOUSANDS of listings for this. I’m afraid I feel ripped off here, guys.

I am a Financial Aid Counselor at a private college. We were thinking about buying some books that our current students could use for scholarship searches. This book has TONS of various scholarships in it. There are several different categories that the scholarships are listed under, which makes it easier for the student to search. The student can also search through each scholarship if they wish, but that will be very time consuming. I recommend this book to any incoming or current college student who needs more free money.

This book as a lot of good qualities and some bad too. The bad one was that it does take awhile to go through all the scholarship programs. Plus a lof of them repeated themselves in each catorgory. So you waste your time as you are going through the numbes.Good note is that this books as like 5,000 scholarship keeping in mind of the doubles/triples of a quite a few of the awards. Catagories are within from state, to nationality, to what you want to major in, race, sex etc! So it covers just about everything!!!Granted nothing is totally free! You have to work a little to receive the money. Either sending a SASE with some basic info. about yourself. But even the FAFSA isn’t totally easy on filling out all that paper work either! So if you receive that award then you know what I am talking about.

Personal and professional growth is cited as one of the primary drivers for today’s workers. As we move into an era where workers are assuming control of their own career destiny, education and training are increasingly important. People are looking at their careers differently today than they have in the past. No longer do they place their faith in the employer to provide all their learning opportunities. Now they must create and implement their own learning designs-taking advantage of corporate training, special assignments, and outside education programs. In the future, the movement will be even more pronounced. During the years ahead, workers will be choosing their employers based, in part, on opportunities to learn and grow. They’ll be looking for companies that demonstrably support education and training. Workers will be significantly more intent on continuing their education-to build their skills, their credentials, and their capacity to perform at increasingly higher levels of competence and effectiveness. A major objective of their ongoing learning will be to enhance opportunities for advancement-with the current employer or a future employer. People expect to move from job to job every 2-4 years, though not necessarily to a different employer. They will tend to be more loyal to employers who encourage them to grow. Mentoring and experience will be important, as will various kinds of formal learning.Some of this learning will be gleaned from corporate training and development programs. Commercial seminars and conferences sponsored by trade and professional associations will provide further learning opportunities. An increasing number of workers will take courses at community colleges and universities. With the magnetic draw of the labor shortage, young people will be pulled from the traditional post-high school process into the world of work. High demands will drive recruiters to recruit students right off the college campus. They’re already recruiting more aggressively for students at community colleges and four-year institutions. Some companies will fund work-study programs, enabling students to continue their education while working. Education takes money. Employers will contribute, at various levels governed by a wide range of factors. In many cases, more funds will be needed. Employed students will face challenges of finding money to fund their college and university work. Employers who help their workers find solutions to their educational problems-including financing-will earn their loyalty and devotion. Companies don’t have to finance educational endeavors to win that appreciation; just helping the workers find funds on their own will be a benefit.Solution: buy one or more copies of a directory of scholarships and place them strategically around the workplace. One good example of such a valuable resource is The Scholarship Book 2000. The annual, produced by the National Scholarship Research Service, contains pertinent information on 4,000 scholarship sources offering awards up to $40,000 per year. Included are scholarships limited to people over 25, 35, and even 60 years of age.Each entry gives the name, address, phone, e-mail, and internet sites, followed by an explanation of the amount of the award and application procedures. The variety of opportunities for funding is mind-boggling! This volume has a wealth of information, and even makes for good reading.The 8″ X 10.5 inch format is easy to use. The cover is attractive, making it a nice book to have around in break rooms, human resource development offices, corporate libraries, and other appropriate locations around the company. At a $25 price, this three-pound book makes a smart purchase to send a message: “we support the ongoing education of our employees.”

This book is awful. I found no scholarhips applicable to me in the entire book, and it is full of bizarre scholarships that almost no one could apply for. I thought this book was for college-bound high school students and college students. However, most of the scholarhips are for things like mothers over the age of 30, graduate students, playwrights, etc. The best feature of the book was that it listed scholarships by major – science, english, etc. However almost all the scholarships listed were specific for a certain reason – for instance, students of Sacred Heart Academy or residents of Montgomery County. These scholarships are easily accessible for those people that qualify for them, such as at local libraries and schools, and are not helpful to include in a book for students all across America, only a small percentage of whom could qualify for those certain scholarships by living in that area. I was excited to get this book and thought it would help me find some college money. However it was absolutely useless to me and I wish I wouldn’t have spent my money on it – I don’t even know anyone I can give it to that would benefit from any scholarships listed in it. If you are a college-bound student or are already in college and are looking for scholarships and loans suited to you, I don’t recommend this book. …………………………… Although this book has many many scholarships, they are so diverse and hard to qualify for that it would be better if they only had even a few that would match most students.

There are about 4,000 listed but many are redundant. Example: Look up the ones of for San Mateo residents. Expect to find only 100 or so scholarships that suit you but even if you received one scholarship it would be worth it. I found the descriptions very clear and concise. Buy this book!

This book was a disappointment because it was so highly recommended yet I found nothing in it that I could use. Yes, I actually did go through it page by page. Doing my own research on the ‘web provided me with all the information in this book and more but did not cost me anything except my time. There are various scholarship/grant searches you can do yourself through the ‘web and they are free services. I bought this book because I thought it would round out my search and provide me with even more information, What a disappointment to realize I had just wasted money on a totally useless book. In my opinion you are much better off doing the searching yourself on the Internet instead of buying any of the books. The only reason I can think of to buy this or any other scholarship/grant book would be because a person does not have Internet access.

I found the funds available extremely limited for a 3.6 white female starting her freshman year in a state university…most funds were geared for minorities….even Bill Gates huge amount he’s giving to 1000 students a year are only for minorities….if an 18 yr. old white girl is a mixture of 4-6 ethnic countries, will that count as a minority???? My grandaughter is holding down 2 summer jobs, getting a limited amount from the U of O,,, with no help from her parents at all…While i notice some scholarships for minorities are a full ride..Her sister is in a community college because she’s having the same financial problem..White is not the color to be any more……

I was checking to see if there was a new edition of the Scholarship Book, and I was surprised by someone’s review that it wasn’t useful to people with Internet access. I have tried to use the online search engines for funding, but a lot of the organizations that came up for me were completely wrong. And out of the ones that I seemed eligible for, many came back with no forwarding address. While online searches are a good idea in theory, it doesn’t work if the information isn’t updated. I found this book much more useful. I was able to look up in the index what I qualified for, and only one place I wrote to came back as a wrong address. When I called the number listed in the book, I was able to get the current information. I’m still waiting to hear if I get any money for school, but I think this is a great book with a lot of opportunities listed.
