Many students (and parents) think that the way to win scholarships is to apply willy-nilly to MORE scholarships. In truth, the best way to win scholarships is to apply for the RIGHT scholarships. In Scholarships 101, Kimberly Stezala provides a step-by-step plan to help students identify their personal strengths and dreams, and then match themselves to the right scholarships.

This book is a comprehensive guide and is the perfect book for anyone who has no clue on how to get started in the scholarship search. She gives incredible scenarios, hot tips, and refrig notes!

Go to Kim’s website http://scholarshipstreet.com/ for additional information. It’s very helpful!

Although I thought the book had ideas on the basics, it failed to deliver the actual resources/websites, etc. needed.

Sorry I purchased the book.
