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.

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.
