Product Description
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.

 Great resource! July 6, 2008
This book has great tips and sample essays with critiques/comments that are very valuable for people filling out applications for scholarships, college entrance, or employment. I'm hoping it will improve my son's chances for college scholarships.
 The Scholarship Scouting Report: An Insider's Guide to America's Best Scholarships August 25, 2007
The book was a waste of money! It is only good for high school students versus older students. It would have been nice to know this since I'm looking for my 24 year old son.

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.

I had spent a lot of time using online scholarship search database sites and was really frustrated. Then I found this book on Amazon and thought I would give it a try. I didn't have very high expectations (given my online search) so I was thrilled when I found in the book bunches of scholarships to apply for and tips on how to win each one. Why didn't my guidance counselor tell me about this book?
WOW, GREAT BOOK! October 26, 2004

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!
