Hi, I would like to start filling out Scholarships but I dont wont to fall for any scams online please help?

Question

Where should I start?

I heard about fastweb.com?- is this legit and safe? because I know there is a lot of scams online but at the same time since I have more free time on my hands now I'd like to start filling out scholarships to see if I win anything.

I dont even know where to start.

Answer 1

fastweb is legit.  Also remember, it's just a database.  You don't actually apply for the scholarships on that sight, usually you just sort for them there. Each scholarship then lists the contact info on the record for that school.  

You will have the best luck at earning a scholarship by contacting the school you are attending directly and find out what they have to offer.  Deal directly with the agency or entity that is giving out the scholarship (and don't go through a middle man) and you will be okay.  Never pay anything for scholarship search sites.

Answer 2

Fastweb is legit.  Oh and don't forget to fill out your FAFSA.

Check out this site, it should answer a lot of your questions:

Answer 3

Fastweb is legit. There's another new one that less competitive. Maybe you can go to

it's about scholarships information.

Good luck
