If you provide an e-mail address, you will also receive notification anytime a scholarship has been added. FastWeb also has links to lots of other financial aid and admissions information – college directory, FAFSA, loans, etc.

In addition to the scholarship databases listed above, there are also several other free scholarship databases listed on the Financial Aid Information (FinAid) Web page.

The list of Major-Specific Databases provides information for specific majors or career interests, such as art, computer science, journalism or nursing. FinAid also provides pages describing scholarships and other forms of aid available.
