As scholarship experts, Fastweb gets asked similar scholarship questions all the time. These questions are on the minds of most students looking to obtain scholarships to pay for school. So, we've compiled a list that includes Fastweb users' most frequently asked scholarship questions to help you improve you scholarship search.
It's time to find out once and for all:
While we're the experts on serving up scholarships, it's really up to you, as a student, to take it to the next level. What do we mean by that?
Fastweb is basically a scholarship middle man. We find the opportunities. Then, our research team checks them out to make sure they are legitimate opportunities. Once we've determined that a scholarship is legitimate, we add it to the Fastweb database, which includes millions of scholarship opportunities.
At that point, we match students (that's you) based on their Fastweb profiles. Once students are matched to a scholarship via Fastweb, it is up to the individual student to follow through and apply for the scholarship.
It's important to remember that applying for scholarships is a numbers game. The more you apply to, the better your chances of winning. Unfortunately, it's difficult at times to win a scholarship, and not everyone is guaranteed to win one. But people really do win scholarships through our site, and our Wall of Fame proves it highlighting some (but definitely not all) of our scholarship winners.
A scholarship is an award offered to students to help pay for college tuition and, potentially, other college expenses. Students who meet a specific scholarship's criteria are able to apply for the award and are chosen based on the criteria set, whether it be merit, an essay or some other requirement outlined within the scholarship provider's details.
