Comprising what seemed to me one-third personal memoir (mostly rehashing the same few points), one-third pep talk ("Don't assume you need to be a varsity athlete or top of your class! Just make yourself stand out by emphasizing what makes you unique and you stand a great chance!"), one-sixth generic advice that applies to all applications (including jobs and colleges and honestly life as a whole), and just one-sixth scholarship-specific information, this book didn't really help me out much. The writing style shifted from matter-of-fact to exuberant! statements! ending in! exclamation points! frequently, and ultimately I wouldn't recommend this book as a main reference in regards to the scholarship application process.

(In hindsight, maybe the title should've tipped me off.)
