A very good uptodate book listing schools that give athletic scholarships for major and minor sports. This compilation is upto date and seemingly very complete. It is a invaluable tool for writing schools and inquiring about sport scholarships. HOWEVER, the schools do not have the addresses listed, only the name and city with a zipcode. This is highly disappointing. It tells you how but not to…lame. Would probably try a less complete book with the address of athletic department and just supplement the schools I could not find. A great resource tool made into mediocre.

This book is very comprehensive, except in one area. It provides a lot more information about specific university sports programs than other guides. This is to be expected from a Peterson guide. However, it contains less information than other guides about how talented athletes can get recruited if they don’t attend high schools that are already sports powerhouses. Unfortunately, this book must be supplemented with another guide for students who don’t already have recruiters looking at them.

This type of scholarship book is Free for everyone at your local library! The 800 or more pages is mostly a listing of colleges addresses and phone numbers. All high school counselors will have a book similar to this in their office. Its good information to have, but you can get it for free!

This guide has great introductory information for athletes who are not NCAA Division I/II scholarship material, but could easily win scholarships at the Division III or NAIA schools. But, don’t let the book’s publication date fool you… the information in this book is outdated from 1998-99. The listings include had outdated contact information and has sports that have long ago been dropped from intercollegiate competition to “club” status.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 This book is outdated terribly and misleads readers about what sports programs are at which schools and where the scholarship monies are currently.

I thought it was one of the most comprehensive manuals out there in regards to sports scholarships in the US.
