A scholarship is an award that helps students pay for college. To get a scholarship, you have to meet qualifications, write essay, but before you can apply, you'll need to find a scholarship. "FastWeb" is an internet site that takes your personal information and helps you find scholarships you qualify for. Here's how you can use "FastWeb" to search for a college scholarship.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Start your "FastWeb" profile. The first thing you'll need to do is answer very simple questions: name, date of birth and gender. You will also need to answer questions about your major and what you want to do when you graduate from college.
Step2
Make a list of all of the activities you're involved in. As you enter your information into "FastWeb," you will need to list all of these activities, societies and clubs.
Step3
Submit your information. "FastWeb" will then give you a list of all of the scholarships that you can apply for right now. Even after you logoff the "FastWeb" website, "FastWeb" will continue to search for and email you each time a new scholarship becomes available.
Step4
Update your profile from time to time. Make sure that the information is always accurate. This will make sure that you always hear about scholarships you qualify for.

Tips & Warnings

  • Whenever "FastWeb" asks to you choose more than one option from a list, choose as many as you can. These will expand your search and give you more scholarships to choose from.
  • Watch out for all of the advertisements. "FastWeb" is free to you, but they finance their site by putting ads throughout their forms. If you're not interested in the product being advertised, make sure you click "No Thanks" to avoid getting sent to a different webpage.
