6.1. Online Scholarship Databases

    The internet is a goldmine for scholarship seekers, offering searchable databases that compile thousands of opportunities. These platforms let you filter by criteria like eligibility, award amount, or deadline. Here are some top options:

    • Fastweb (fastweb.com): One of the oldest and most trusted scholarship sites, Fastweb matches your profile (grades, interests, location) to relevant awards. It’s free and user-friendly, with millions of scholarships in its database.

    • Scholarships.com: Similar to Fastweb, this site offers a robust search tool and resources like essay tips. Create a profile, and it’ll suggest scholarships tailored to you.

    • College Board’s Scholarship Search (bigfuture.collegeboard.org): Known for the SAT, the College Board also provides a free scholarship finder with over 2,000 opportunities, searchable by major, background, or location.

    • Cappex (cappex.com): This site combines scholarship searches with college reviews, helping you find funding and schools in one go.

    • Niche (niche.com): Formerly College Prowler, Niche offers scholarships—some exclusive to its users—alongside college rankings.

    Tip: Set up alerts on these sites to get notified about new scholarships or approaching deadlines. The more specific your profile, the better the matches.
