Educators

Your students need money for school—and you’re here to help them.

FastWeb is the leading Internet scholarship search—and we just got better! With an easy–to-navigate site, informative news articles and new features, FastWeb is 34 million students strong and growing. We’re recommended by nearly 20,000 high schools and colleges—and for good reason. We’ll help your students find the scholarships, fellowships and grants that will help pay their tuition.

Not only will we help your students find the scholarships that will pay their tuition but we'll offer relevant and timely advice on everything from helping students adjust to college life to financial aid tips that can save them thousands. Also, with new site features, we'll offer opportunities for self-assessment through online quizzes as well as chances for them to voice their opinions through discussion boards.

Our detailed questionnaire helps us personalize a list of scholarship matches your students are qualified for. We can also match them to internships, jobs, and volunteer opportunities that look great on their resumes. And what’s more, we’ll help them improve their overall application packages to qualify for more awards.

And FastWeb isn’t just for the students. We provide industry news and updates to help educators better understand the admissions and financial landscapes students are presented with. In fact, we’ve been gathering an arsenal of some of the nation’s leading experts in admission, financial aid, and scholarship advice. Meet our experts now.
