The Scholarship Book 12th Edition: the Most Complete Waste of Space Yet.......2007-02-22

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.

A Legend in Scholarship Seach Books.......2005-05-27

The world didn't begin with Adam, Eve and the PC with static IP's. In the land before time (Terminals with Internet and Monsterous E-commerce), you discovered various scholarships to apply for from books, magazines, and the news media. Students (like me) spent hours apon hours in 'scholarship listings' xeroxing every possibility that we would owe the government less after we graduated college.

Back when I started college (1998), the 'de facto' standard was this book by Daniel Cassidy. One year, a few of fellow High School students attended colleges out-of-state for free. Well, my guidence counselor fully believed in the power in this book.

Now, I'm out of school for three years and am starting to share my secrets on how I finish college for free (search for my name to read more on my website, if interested).

Long story short, this book is the standard in 'manual' scholarship searches. It features compact and succint listings seperated by your major and a section (general) that any student can qualify for. The print is readable, and it gives you the basic requirements for each scholarship along with contact information.

BUY THIS BOOK EACH YEAR UNTIL YOU GRADUATE! For the minimal cost of this book, the rewards you will get easily are reimbursed. The choice fore me is a no-brainer.

Do yourself some justice and get this book today; unless you want to pay 7% of 50k.

The Best in the World!.......2004-10-19

If you have kids (or babysit them like I do) it's never too early to begin college planning. I wish this book had been around when I was prepping for higher education (yes, I'm from the dark ages, friends). There isn't a better book on the market when it comes to the fine art of securing scholarship money. And like my young charges, women of the U.S.A need to unite in an on-going struggle to be recognized by the university of your choice. Good luck ladies.

How to empower the reader in the art of visualization.......2005-08-25

Volume II in Connolly's new Esoteric Guidebook Series is titled Develop Your Psychic Powers and contains the information and exercises to empower the reader in the art of visualization, intuition, dreamwork, merging with the higher self, and other paranormal phenomena.

Here's the idea, you meditate on a Major like the Magician and tap into his power and thus become him becuase you need that tool. This is NOT far fetched but a lot of what the Golden Dawn itself, and Arthur Waite originally, wanted the tarot to be: a guide for psychometry or as Crowley called it, Magick. Dr Connolly has taken the magick out and put the psychology in.

If you like the book others like it are the Regardie series and many of Crowleys & Waites works.

Vast Resource, but contact info out of date.......2001-04-12

They've done the research and list many scholorships in an uncluttered format. Scholarships are listed by the geographical location in which the scholarship is to be used. The contact information tends to be out of date, but it is possible to find the current information, albeit with a little work.

Interested in international education? Look no further!.......2000-06-23

Financial Resources for International Study is a must have for anyone wishing to attend school outside of the U.S. Every scholarship and financial aid option imaginable is listed within the book, which if you recieve one of those, could pay for the book itself easily! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who, like me, has to get out and see the world through education but cannot always pay for all of it.

Mainly for Postdoctoral Research.......2001-06-05

While this book totes grants for the graduate student, most of the listings are for postdoctral research.

Thus, if you are doing postdoctoral research then I would rate this book 5 stars, however, if you are a graduate student (Masters or Doctorate) then this book offers minimal help.

However, the help in this book is contingent upon your area of study. In other words, there is much help listed for Engineering students, Environmental studies, Health care, History, Language and Literature, Mathematics, and Political Science. Other fields have some help, but not near as much as those I listed.

Thus, if you are looking for grants for areas not listed in this review then this book will only provide very minimal help. Hope that helps you in your research and hunt for $$.

Excellent resource.......2006-12-30

Both the graduate school office and the office of career counseling at my college have this book, and the staff guard it jealously--with good reason. It clearly describes each foundation and their guidelines for the type(s) of grants they make. In perusing this book, I didn't find a guide to writing a grant (probably because I was seeking foundation information), though other excellent books on how to do so exist elsewhere. If you want to cut to the chase, and save time and energy in targeting the right foundation(s) to meet your need, the hefty pricetag is worth your investment.

Comprehensive!.......2000-05-27

This book is thorough and comprehensive in scope. It tells you exactly what you need to know to apply for a grant from the many organizations it lists. A good measure of its worth is that it's in its 11th update.
