Many inaccuracies about eligibility for awards frustrating!
The Hertz Foundation Graduate Fellowship Awards are described as "fellowships for graduate study in any discipline." The Hertz Foundation awards are for students looking into the application of the physical and technical sciences only!The Truman Scholarship are open only to college juniors, not "undergraduate and graduate students."
I have only looked into two scholarships offered in this book, and already have found two errors. This Ph.D. candidate wasted his money on this book.

Mostly for PHD candidates
The biggest complaint with this book is its organization. The chapters are broken down with business, law and health all together. Which makes it really hard to find something specifically in business. Another problem is the fact that most of the grants are for PHD candidates and alot are school specific.

Not good for masters candidates
I am a woman pursuing a masters in architecture degree. While the book was well-organized, about 85-90% of the scholarships and grants were for doctoral candidates. Out of over 1000 grants, I only found 6 that I MIGHT qualify for, and three of them I had already heard about through my internet searches. People pursuing a masters degree would not benefit from this book... Similar Products
