Fastweb

Fastweb is an American scholarship search website that matches students to relevant scholarships based on a profile of provided information.[1] As of 2023, it reportedly lists more than 1.5 million scholarship opportunities,[2] although it does not offer any unique funding that cannot be obtained elsewhere.[1]

History

Founded by Larry Organ in 27 April 1995,[3] Fastweb is an acronym for "financial aid search through the web".

In 2001, Fastweb was acquired by TMP Worldwide, the owner of the job advertising website Monster.com.[4]
