Customer Reviews

Recommended at my school

I am a guidance counselor at a large high school and have been recommending this book to my students. What is so useful about it is how it not only profiles the top scholarship awards in the country, but also discusses students who won the awards (and even includes their pictures and essays). I've found it highly motivational to show this book to my students, so that they can see that students just like them win these awards. We are even thinking about getting classroom sets for members of the junior and senior class.

WOW, GREAT BOOK!

THIS BOOK REALLY IS FANTASTIC. I AM A GRAD STUDENT AND USED THIS BOOK TO GREAT SUCCESS. THE SAMPLE WINNING ESSAYS ARE REALLY HELPFUL, AS ARE THE INTERVIEWS WITH SCHOLARSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP JUDGES. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Great for Undergraduates & High School Seniors

This is not a scholarship book for Graduate students - only 3 listed. However, I am pleased to pass along to my niece. Very well written in easy to understand, consise language. Wish me luck!

My best advice

Ben Kaplan's book is not only useful and valuable, but enjoyable. This is something every college seeker should go through. Also read Norman Thomas Remick's "West Point" for a surprising (and enjoyable) eye-opener on what the full-scholarship West Point is really about. As a teacher and board member, I recommend both books. That's my best advice.
