If I could give this book more than a 10 I would. This book helped me so much in getting money for college. It was extremely easy to understand and the appenices were the best! I can not tell you how much I enjoyed reading about the money they got for their son, and I am hoping i can get maybe a lot also from all of the scholarships I applied for because of the book. I was very surprised by how much detail this book went into. It would not take a rocket scientist to figure this book out like some of the other scholarship books I have bought. This is my favorite out of all the scholarship books that I have even let many of my friends borrow it so that they could also be able to get some money for college. I want to thank you for all the trouble and hard work that the two of you went to to be able to put this book together.

When I first got this book I was a bit overwhelmed by how much information it contained. Then when I started going through it, I found the instructions easy-to-follow and crossed referenced to samples and charts in the appendices. When I got a letter returned with no forwarding address, all I had to do was contact the authors through their Website … and the new address was supplied. There are so many scholarship and internship opportunities listed, the only way not to find appropriate scholarships to apply for means either the student used this book for a doorstop or just wanted to open the book and find money inside. This book was so helpful, I can’t wait for their new book to be released.

If I could give this book zero stars, I would have. There is nothing in this book for non traditional students.

This book has a lot of information for someone headed to college. Don’t bother with it if you are planning on a course of graduate study.

Not only does this book have tons of typos but many of the resources listed seem to no longer exist or will lead you on a wild goose chase if they do exist. The supposed help on how to write essays and resumes states the obvious. For example, they explain that your applications should be free of dirt and stains and should be typed. If you don’t already know that, good luck in college.
This book claims to help non-traditional students. Of all the resources that might apply to me as a non-traditional student, I have found none worth pursuing. Either you have to pay a fee to apply for the scholarships and contests or you have to spend a fortune mailing requests for further information. I tried saving money by looking for information on the internet but ended up wasting more time than it was worth. It would be much easier to get a job and pay for your own school than spend the time and effort it takes to have a slim chance at winning a scholarship or contest that pays only $100.
