Filling Out Your FastWeb Profile Completely Can Qualify You for Millions of Dollars More in Scholarships

.

The cost of higher education is skyrocketing and even one semester of college comes with a hefty price tag. With the average tuition price spiking again this Fall, thousands of soon-to-be or continuing students are on the hunt for financial aid.

FastWeb’s done the dirty work for you. We’ve stockpiled billions of dollars worth of free tuition money just itching to be claimed but you’re not using us for all we’re worth. Do us a favor: Listen up. Here’s how you get a leg up.

Do Better Than The Bare Minimum

Want to know how to you max out your scholarship matches? Fill out your profile in its entirety. As simple as that. If instead you only get through the questions necessary to register and fail to continue on, you’re in the same boat as most of the hundreds of new users joining our site every day . They’re likely seeing similar scholarships as you, especially if they only fill out the first few questions. Did you know students who FILLED OUT THE STUDENT ACTIVITY CATEGORY WERE MATCHED TO $2 MILLION MORE IN AWARDS.

The more ways you can stand apart from the crowd, the fewer people you have to compete with and the better chance you have of snagging an award. Why be a small fish in a big pond?

Think of it like the lottery. You’ve got to do all you can to stack the odds in your favor. The further you reach your tentacles, the better chance you have of zeroing in on that one award meant for you and only you.

Keep in mind, the primary questions are only a snapshot of who you are.

Flair is the New Brains

Now we’re not saying you don’t stand a better chance of nabbing free cash if you spent hours serving the community or aced your SAT, but dozens of awards don’t even name GPA as a criterion. Sure academic achievement, leadership experience, ethnic background and athletic ability may swiftly usher you into the VIP section of the award vault. But what if you didn’t graduate top of your class or lead your team to the championships four years in a row?

Good news! You could be in a better position than most. We’ve got thousands of available scholarships and grants that have nothing to do with brains or brawn. In fact, the wacky hobby you honed in high school could help you leapfrog your peers and snatch the cash. Thing is, you won’t even throw your name in the ring without ticking as many profile question boxes as you can.
