Getting Financial Aid 2009August 31, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This publication is an essential reference in applying for financial aid at US colleges. It tells the prospective student how to apply and lists 1000's of available scholarships. Indexing could be improved. Scholarships are listed alphabetically by state. There is no index to type of scholarship.
Usefulness of Getting Financial AidDecember 14, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have found this book extremely useful in my work as a private College Counselor. I think anyone interested in hopefully obtaining financial aid will find that the information in this book comes from a reputable source. I have found that there is often a problem trying to determine whether or not the information is credible and useful. There are many sources that are neither credible or reliable.
