fastWEB(Financial Aid Search Through the WEB)

A searchable database of more than 180,000 private sector scholarships, fellowships, grants, and loans. To use fastWEB, a student fills out a detailed profile through a series of online forms. After the forms are complete, fastWEB responds with a list of matching award programs. Each entry in this list includes a deadline, a list of required majors, the amount of the award, a short description, and contact information.

As new scholarships are added to the database (approximately 1,200 per day), they are compared with the student's profile and any matching programs are added to the student's "mailbox." Students can check this mailbox at their convenience to find out about newly announced programs.
