This author managed to get her PHD all through scholarships. This is a book written by somebody that actually did it, which is why I wanted to read it. I have struggled through many scholarship guides and found them basically the same. This one had much new information to share. How to deal with less than perfect grades and poor testing skills in applying. I have two college age children and found this guide book to be one of the most effective on the shelf. Not only was it very helpful but it was inspirational.
Should be on every parents, teachers, counselors, homeschool families shelves.… (plus d'informations)

I don’t think you can read this book without feeling inspired. It’s targeted towards high school students, but there is a message of hope that will likely resonant with many parents. The advice is simple and practical. Best of all, the advice is not just for the perfect student. As the author points out, she had imperfect grades and average SAT scores.

It should be noted that the book focuses less on finding scholarships, and more on how to become a strong scholarship applicant. I believe that anyone who follows Kristina’s advice, and commits to working hard, will win free money for college.

I’m glad that I discovered Confessions of a Scholarship Winner while my kids are still young. I would recommend this book to any student or parent in the scholarship hunt.… (plus d'informations)
