<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>I know a couple of the popular websites (fastweb...), but what are the best books out there that helped you win merit scholarships? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>The best merit scholarships are awarded by the colleges. All merit scholarships are based on academic excellence as defined by the scholarship itself.</p>
<p>The best way to “win” a scholarship is to get tippy top GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Then apply to colleges that have guaranteed stats based on YOUR stats (see stickie thread above).</p>
<p>Regardless…the best way to win a scholarship is to have those top stats.</p>
<p>There is a terrific book “Paying for College Without Going Broke”. It’s not about scholarships but is worth the read.</p>
<p>This site and colleges’ sites.</p>
<p>I meant private merit scholarships not just school merit scholarships. Ex: coca cola</p>
<p>General google searches using different phrases helped me find scholarships to apply for. The best scholarships to look for a ones where not as many people are applying, so you have a better chance of getting them. Look for local scholarships, like ones only for students from your school or county, or scholarships created by local foundations.</p>
