“The format is user friendly, and information on financial aid may be located by browsing through sections on general disciplines such as science, social studies, or humanities, with an additional chapter of alphabetical entries for “Any Subject Area.” Remarkably good directions in the introduction not only explain how to use the above but also clarify why a certain index would be more useful than another. This well-designed survey takes some of the confusion out of the process and presents current information."

This new guide targets another special group: middle-class students who don’t qualify for need-based scholarships. Entries note eligibility, amount of award, duration, number of awards granted, and deadline. Recommended.”

The directory "organizes its contents for easy browsing, listing programs in the sciences, the social sciences, the humanities, and for any subject in sections clearly identified by a shaded section of fore edge in a stepped pattern. While the directory doesn’t guarantee an applicant success, it makes it a lot easier to narrow the field of programs to apply for. No matter how many financial aid directories a public library has, it needs to add this one. And high school guidance offices owe it to college-bound students and their families to have the High School Senior’s Guide. Very reasonably priced…"
