Book Description
Athletic Scholarships, Fourth Edition proves that you don't need to be a football hero or track star to win an athletic scholarship. It is the most complete, concise, and current directory of its kind, listing literally thousands of grants and scholarships available to college-bound male and female athletes at every playing level. Thoroughly revised and updated throughout, this book offers young athletes, from divers to gymnasts to alpine skiers, the latest information on finding ways to finance a college education. Each listing provides contact information, the number of grants awarded, the amount of aid available, and the sports being offered. Also, a state-by-state directory lists every four-year and two-year college that offers athletic scholarship money for a wide range of sports, including skiing, baseball, basketball, bowling, crew, football, lacrosse, volleyball, soccer, and more.

 Athletic Scholarships thousands of grants and over $400 November 8, 2005
Don't waste your money. This book is outdated. It is merely 300 pages of college listings. Everything in the book can be found on the net for FREE
Outdated, Outdated, Outdated!!! February 15, 2003

Don't let the book's publication date fool you... the information in this book is outdated from 1998-99. The listings include schools by old/outdated names, had outdated contact information (to the college PR offices in many cases, not even coaches for the sport, I might add), and has sports that have long ago been dropped from intercollegiate competition to "club" status. With the changes in the college sports scene brought on by the gender equity rules, the men's sports programs listed in this book include more sports than are actually at most colleges. Conversely, the women's sports programs listed here show fewer programs than are now available. This book is outdated terribly. Purchasing it at this time would be a total waste of money for anyone trying to find current athletic scholarship information.

The title of this book would lead one to believe that there was actual information on scholarships in this book. The reality is that this book is not much more than an alphabetical listing of schools and their sports. The high school counselor's office has this info for free. I found this book to be useless and feel cheated having bought it. It is so general (and I use the term loosely) and simplistic, it's almost laughable. If I could return it I would. IT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY.

I'm a sophomore in a community college and I read this book to help me get into a good 4 year college next year. I play a sport and I found this book to be the best one I have read so far! Not only does this help with the recruiting process, but it has $400M worth of Athletic Scholarships! I highly recommend this for any high schooler looking to play sports in college and for students wishing to transfer and participate in athletics.
