One of the reviewers's mentioned the URL where the contents are. where can I find the contents on the web? What is the URL?

I thought this was a book, not a CD-ROM only! Here I was waiting for a book that was never coming. This merchandise should not be in the "book" section of Amazon. This information is available on the web for free (I wanted a bounded hard copy)...

I would love to give this ZERO stars if I could!

I had bought this cd in the hopes that I might find some grants that I could not find anywhere else. Instead, this cd had an Adobe document with a list of the 16,000+ grants, loans etc. The contents of the cd itself on took up perhaps 1/10(if that much!) of the actual cd.

On top of that, the contents of the document were those of a website I had visited days before! That site is [URL] if anyone wants to find it.

Just so anyone out there wants to inquire, save your money and visit the web site instead. Don't be a fool like I was and find out the hard way.

You live and learn I suppose.

Skip this dog. Cassidy has about 150 scholarships organized over and over again in different categories (like engineering, nursing, earth science, general, etc.). The index is a good idea because it breaks down scholarships by category BUT if a scholarship is good for engineering and nursing it is listed twice in the engineering index and twice in the nursing index; so you end up seeing the same scholarship over and over. Also, it says it has a searchable CD-ROM - guess what, it is a pdf copy of the book and you are the search engine - the book is faster for the little bit it offers. College board or Fastweb are much better - they are also online and free if you don't need the book. Fast web gives you email updates of new scholarships after you register.

This book has lots of scholarship & award information but it wasn't useful. It did not give enough information. I needed to consult other sources. Also, the book was faster to use than the CD. Skip this one, I didn't find it helpful at all.

Warning! This is nothing but a reproduction of thousands of government agency WEB PAGES, all available FOR FREE to anyone with internet access. It is NOT INDEXED, meaning you have to search the entire disc for words or phrases you're interested in JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ON THE INTERNET. I am returning this at once!

This steaming heap of information was UNcarefully gathered from the Internet (by some type of automated, grab-it-all crap program) ... dumped UNedited into giant PDF files and burned to CD. It is less useful than a simple hyperlinks to HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I can't begin to tell you how ugly this is. I haven't seen information this DISorganized since the streets of NY filled with paper showering down from the horrific World Trade Center disaster. Absolutely worthless. Trash. Avoid this at any cost.

This book is so out of date the publisher supresses its copyright date. It is a very modest work, with the latest reference as of 1978. It skips legal restrictions, saying consult your local authorities. Omits discussion of usury laws and the key point that purchase money loans are (generally) exempt from usury rate limits, but not third party loans. Instead buy Smart Trust Deed Investment In California by George Coats.ISBN 0-934581-01-0

This book was a total disappointment. I received betterinformation from an introductory finance college-level course thanfrom this waste of time.
