Hey guys,
So, I’m currently a junior in high school, heading into my senior year, and like everyone else, I’ve been thinking about applying for scholarships. I stumbled upon this website after seeing it mentioned on TikTok, and I signed up right away to start searching for scholarships. But now, I’m having some doubts. I’m not sure if this website is actually legit or if it might be a scam.
Do any of you have any advice or insights about it? I’d really appreciate any input you have. Thanks a bunch!

Fastweb is a scholarship list compiler, much like other websites, however it doesn’t make it a terrible website. If you have the time, it’s not a terrible idea to cast a wide net as there are about ten scholarship search sites similar to them. I do concur that since the most of these websites ignore local scholarships, you should also check at them.
While I believe that sites like FastWeb are useful for finding external scholarships, I wouldn’t waste my time on those that simply require an email address to be entered into a lottery. As others have mentioned, I would try looking for local scholarships as they are much simpler to win! See if any teachers know of any, or try asking a counselor.
