Book Overview

The first in-depth guide to the nation's best, most accessible scholarship opportunities A true insider in the world of tuition financing, Ben Kaplan has helped tens of thousands of students attend colleges and universities they never thought they'd be able to afford. Now he takes his expertise one step further in this behind-the-scenes tour of America's top scholarship programs. Based on hundreds of exhaustive interviews with scholarship judges, administrators, and past winners, this easy-to-use scouting report highlights the essential scholarships you must know about and helps you better address each scholarship's "hidden" judging criteria in your application. If you think the college of your dreams is out of your financial reach-or that your scholarship search has to be an overwhelming and frustrating process-think again: Ben Kaplan wrote the guide that will help you focus your search, position your scholarship candidacy, and ultimately afford the college of your choice. Special Note: As a valued reader of this book, you also receive access to the Coach's Locker Room at Ben Kaplan's ScholarshipCoach.com website. The Coach's Locker Room provides a wealth of bonus material, updates to information contained in The Scholarship Scouting Report, question and answer postings, and other helpful resources.

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.
