Students can browse a general directory of over 3,000 scholarship sources or conduct a custom search based on criteria from an electronic questionnaire. A feature called FundFacts supplies data on the number and value of awards given, application deadlines, eligibility criteria and contact names and addresses. And, a built-in form letter generator lets students instantly send requests for information. CollegeView, Cincinnati, OH, (800) 927-VIEW, www.collegeview.com.
