The Scholarship Book 2002: The Complete Guide to Private-Sector Scholarships, Fellowships, Grants and Loans for the Undergraduate (Scholarship Book, 2002)

Summary: Good Resource
Review: As the previous reviewer stated, the book does repeat scholarships--however, it does so because the same scholarship must be listed under different categories, i.e. field of study, residence, etc.; otherwise, students might miss out on ones they qualify for. I find this book to be very helpful and informative. There are a lot of scholarship foundations listed; the number of scholarships advertized does not re-count each foundation; it counts on the fact that each foundation offers more than just one award. This is a great book, as long as you are willing to follow the directions and do the research on your own. But admittedly, in these times, much info can be found online. I worked for the authoer, Dan Cassidy, for five years--he was committed throughout his life to helping students find a way to pay for college. Sadly, he passed away last year at the age of 45. But he did his best to make his book an invaluable resource for students.

Summary: Waste of money
Review: The book repeats each scholarship at least 20 times on different pages, sometimes even on the same page. It just put under the different number. So, when it promises 4000 scholarships - divide it by 20 and that is all it has. The CD included is very poor. The book does not have instructions on how to make an advanced search on CD, and the few instructions it has - not working.
