Summary
The Scholarship Handbook 2012 provides the most complete and authoritative facts about more than 1.7 million awards, including scholarship, internship, and loan programs offered by foundations, charitable organizations, and state and federal government agencies. Every entry is verified by the College Board to be legitimate, up-to-date, accurate, and portable to more than one college.
This guide includes a planning calendar and worksheets to organize and keep track of scholarship applications. Indexes help students find programs by eligibility criteria--such as minority status, religious affiliation, state of residence, and intended field of study--so they can quickly zero in on scholarships for which they qualify.
