This book is fantastic. The sheer amount of information and number of scholarships is a great tool to have at your fingertips. Not to mention that, in my opinion, it's grouped together well so that you can find scholarships that apply to you without having to work too hard. I most definitely recommend this to anyone who is going to attend college or helping someone attend college. It's not free like scholarship websites, but it does have tons more in it than those sites ever could.
My only problem comes from downright wrong information. I'm aware that fact checking a book like this would be almost impossible and that the writers probably rely on information given to them. But, I feel it has to be said. When checking out some of the sites I was eligible for, I noticed that the deadline dates in the books were sometimes wrong. For example, it stated that the deadline for a certain scholarship was March 31st, but when I went to the website, it was actually on March 15. Not a huge mistake, but one that could cost someone some college money. Another problem is the websites themselves. Some are so difficult to find the actual scholarship that I found myself using Google to find them instead of the provided website. Another website was nonexistent. Also, more than one of the scholarships listed actually hadn't existed for a couple of years (this one in particular had been defunct since 2007).
All-in-all, this book is incredible. It does have its flaws, but they are nowhere near bad enough to prevent this book from being amazing. Buy it! You won't regret it.
