This book has lots of scholarship & award information but it wasn’t useful. It did not give enough information. I needed to consult other sources. Also, the book was faster to use than the CD. Skip this one, I didn’t find it helpful at all.

Skip this dog. Cassidy has about 150 scholarships organized over and over again in different categories (like engineering, nursing, earth science, general, etc.). The index is a good idea because it breaks down scholarships by category BUT if a scholarship is good for engineering and nursing it is listed twice in the engineering index and twice in the nursing index; so you end up seeing the same scholarship over and over. Also, it says it has a searchable CD-ROM – guess what, it is a pdf copy of the book and you are the search engine – the book is faster for the little bit it offers. College board or Fastweb are much better – they are also online and free if you don’t need the book. Fast web gives you email updates of new scholarships after you register.
