WASTE OF MONEY!
I checked this book out from the library and WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!! I'm glad I didn't buy this book. Just like the other review said, its organized by course of study, scholarship qualification type (i.e. woman, minority, religion), or study. All of the scholarships listed are for individual colleges and you can't get those scholarships if you don't attend that school. DON'T BUY THIS!!!

Pretty much a waste of money
This book has only three types of scholarships in it: 1.) Offered by specific school, i.e. medicine at the University of Oklahoma-if you want to go there for medicine anyway you don't need this book to know there is a scholarship. 2.) Scholarships offered to women only. 3.) Scholarships offered to minorities only. If you're a white male looking for a scholarship don't waste your money on this book. I didn't find a single scholarship I could have applied for. Also, the book is not organized by field of study. If you want a scholarship in history, you first have to read through scholarships offered in Forestry, Marine Biology, Ancient Egyptian Literature, etc. Once you sift through the rubble you will probably find that the entire book only contains three of four of the types of scholarships you are looking for.
Bottom line - two thumbs down
