The best advice on winning a scholarship June 23, 2002
PopDog (Richmond, VA)
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
This book is indispensable. It contains the best advice I have ever read on how to win scholarships. What makes this book so effective is that is has several chapters on how to select a topic and write your own winning essay. Plus, to show you how to put it all together it has 30 examples of essays that won money. This really helps you see how to do it. Besides the essay it also has several chapters on doing the scholarship interview. Rather than just give you a list of questions this book gives you answers to the questions. To top it off there are several chapters with insightful interviews with scholarship judges. This is a great book and I expect that once it is discovered everybody will be reading it.
