Review: I think that you could easily use this book for 2-3 years with no issues ... - A definite must have for all students planning to go to college. I work with high school age kids and got the newest one after one of my students brought in a 2017 version for this next school year. I think that you could easily use this book for 2-3 years with no issues and probably even 4-5. There are weblinks or contact information on every one of scholarships in book, so easy to get updated forms with no hassle. I recommend getting this during freshman-graduate school because there are scholarships for all ages and even younger than high school freshmen. They are indexes in the back to help you find categories and the book is arranged in a sensible manner. I do wish like all FFA scholarships or scholarships that you fill out 1 form and it enters you in several possible scholarship pools be together -- but that is just me. It helps any student needing financial aid for continuing education-no matter how old you are!! Review: Needs lots of revision and editing - This book has a lot of issues, which I'll list: 1. They have a so-called "exclusive" listing for each scholarship with a code to enter on their website for updated news about each scholarship. None of them work. 2. The categories they use to organize scholarships are really annoying and often incorrect. For example, in social sciences, they list trade school scholarships in two-year programs. They don't seem to know which discipline encompasses which scholarship. 3. They have poor organizing skills for the regional scholarships. Why do you they make you read the entire section? Why can't they have it listed state-by-state since these scholarships don't apply to people outside those states? 4. Postgraduate and undergraduate scholarships should not be mixed up. Those should be separated too. 5. Finally, it would be especially nice to have a section for international students listed in their book.

Fantastic Book
Packed full of information that would take alot of time to surf through the internet otherwise. Can't recommend enough. Good info for the high school kid, or even as an adult looking to return to school.

enlightening
It has many scholarships. Some you use and some you won't...It is very well organized, and what the scholarship is intended and how to get it. It doesn't go into complete detail on some but all have the web page for it.

Buy Junior Year - great information!
Great book! Definitely purchase in Junior year to take advantage of the most scholarships. We missed out on a lot by not buying until Senior year. It is well organized, the index is incorrect. We have run into a few scholarships that are no longer available, but out of thousands, that isn't terrible. In just 10 minutes my son found at least 20 scholarships he was eligible for. Great deal!
