Due to the thousands of scholarships available today, it's impossible for us to come anywhere close to talking about everyone of them on this website. So how do you find out what's out there? Your high school guidance office will information on a few scholarships, especially local ones. So will the financial aid office of nearby colleges. And a public library will certainly have scholarship guides. But none of these resources will be able to point you to more than a fraction of the scholarships that are available. But thanks to the wonders of modern technology, you'll be able to search through thousands and thousands of scholarships worth billions of dollars with just a few clicks of the keyboard.

There are many internet scholarship database sites. These allow you to input some basic information about yourself, which the software then analyzes to match you up with scholarships you could qualify for. This is an amazing tool, and everyone needing help paying for college should take advantage of it. There are many different website offering this service, but almost everyone agrees that the best one out there, hands down, is Fastweb.com Fastweb, which is free to use, has millions of registered users. According to their website, over one third of all college students use their service. They have one of the larger databases of scholarship information of all the different search websites. Fastweb is also better about filtering out irrelevant matches, so you have to sort through all sorts of search results that you can't use. And once you've created a user profile, Fastweb will automatically email you when new scholarships come along that match your profile. Everyone considering college should create an account and do a search at Fastweb as early as possible.
